Quote:Would you put guys like Tom Coughlin, Dan Reeves, or (the coach that Kurt Warner was with....his name escapes me right now)?


Or how about Bill Parcels

 

 I believe you are referring to Dick Vermeil,  as he was the St. Louis Rams HC that led them to their only Super Bowl win.  By the time Warner reached his 2nd Super Bowl two years later,  Mike Martz was promoted from OC to HC.

 

 Of the HCs you mentioned, for me Bill Parcells is the closest to the list that I put together.  I gave serious thought about including Parcells but he fell a little short when considering all of his seasons.   That's certainly not a knock on Parcells.  

 

 Tom Coughlin deserves to eventually be in the Pro Football HOF but I put him behind Parcells.    There were too many seasons with the Giants in which the team was average at best. 

 

 Dick Vermeil would be a little lower on my list than Coughlin.   If Vermeil would have stayed with the Rams longer,  my perception of him would probably be even more favorable than it currently is.

 

 Dan Reeves was a very good HC but I don't think he's quite a HOF Coach.   Reeves didn't do enough with the Giants to get over the top.  Especially,  since the Falcons lost the Super Bowl to his first former team he was a HC with.  

 

 Like with the QB discussions and practically everything else when it comes to rankings in sports,  it's very subjective.    One can make a case for Parcells,  George Halas,  and/ or Curly Lambeau being on the list of HCs I put above the rest and it's difficult to argue.
