Bill
Belichick |
19 |
5-4 |
1 |
New
England Patriots |
After Brady lost all his receivers, did you
ever imagine they would be 7-2 right now? |
|
Pete Carroll |
8 |
6-3-1 |
2 |
Seattle
Seahawks |
The team loves playing for this guy. The trip
to the Super Bowl in the NFC will be going through Seattle. |
|
Sean Payton |
8 |
6-3 |
3 |
New
Orleans Saints |
The value of the head coach is the reason I
put together these rankings. Payton is the perfect example. The Saints were
4-5 at this time last year and 7-2 this year. |
|
Jim Harbaugh |
3 |
6-3 |
4 |
San
Francisco 49ers |
I'm not sure who to blame for the 49ers
offense. Maybe the GM? Is Harbaugh just buying time until Crabtree is ready
to return? The 49ers 3rd leading receiver is Bruce Miller, a fullback. When
Vernon Davis gets hurt, as he did against Carolina, the 49ers have no
passing attack. Still, they are probably the most physical team in the
league. |
|
Bruce Arians |
1 |
6-3 |
5 |
Arizona
Cardinals |
Shown to be a very competent coach while
taking over during Pagano's absence in Indy. Just look at how the Steelers
offense has struggled after he left. His only weakness this season has been
sticking with Mendenhall and not giving Ellington the reigns. |
|
Chuck Pagano |
2 |
5-4 |
6 |
Indianapolis Colts |
The Colts have beaten the best teams in
football this year, 49ers, Seahawks, and Broncos. Yet the Colts had some
stinkers against the Rams and Dolphins. You can trust him in a big game to
motivate his team. |
|
Mike McCarthy |
8 |
4-5 |
7 |
Green Bay
Packers |
Time will tell how good of a coach he is
without Aaron Rodgers. So far, he is not off to a good start. The Packers
look like the Colts after they lost Manning. |
|
Rex Ryan |
5 |
6-3 |
8 |
New York Jets |
Rex has completely overachieved this season.
The Jets have been very consistent as well, winning at home and losing on
the road. |
|
Andy Reid |
15 |
6-3 |
9 |
Kansas
City Chiefs |
What can you say? 9-0 and 6-3 ATS. You know
exactly you are going to get week after week, a great defensive effort and a
game manager in Alex Smith |
|
Jeff Fisher |
19 |
4-5-1 |
10 |
St. Louis
Rams |
The Rams started off slow but look like the
team I expected them to be in the last 3 weeks. Fisher has always been a
solid bet as a large underdog. |
|
John Fox |
12 |
6-3 |
11 |
Denver
Broncos |
It is still hard to forget that the Broncos
took the ball out of Peyton's hands against the Ravens. However, this season
they seem to be keeping the foot on the gas pedal. |
|
John Harbaugh |
6 |
5-4 |
12 |
Baltimore
Ravens |
He gets a free pass this year for winning a
Super Bowl with Joe Flacco. The Flacco contract will hurt the Ravens for
years to come. |
|
Tom Coughlin |
18 |
4-5 |
13 |
New York
Giants |
The Giants will probably win the NFC East
after starting 0-6. It seems like they do this every year. Time to start
backing them. |
|
Ron Rivera |
3 |
6-3 |
14 |
Carolina
Panthers |
The Panthers are a tough physical team and
have stood up to the NFC bullies. |
|
Mike McCoy |
1 |
5-3-1 |
15 |
San Diego
Chargers |
The Chargers can't get rid of the Norv Turner
curse. A blown loss in week 1 against the Texans and a last second loss to
the Titans. Even though Rivers is having a great season under McCoy, the
Chargers still have the same record (4-5) as they did under Norv Turner.
|
|
Chip Kelly |
1 |
5-5 |
16 |
Philadelphia Eagles |
Kelly has done a decent job with this team but
he needs to win a home game at some point. |
|
Mike Tomlin |
7 |
3-6 |
17 |
Pittsburgh Steelers |
This team has aged faster than Lindsay Lohan.
It is time to reload. |
|
Mike Shanahan |
20 |
3-6 |
18 |
Washington Redskins |
The Redskins made a big mistake rushing RG III
back. The Redskins offense is only effective when RG III can run the read
option and is not a drop back pocket passer. |
|
Marc
Trestman |
1 |
2-6-1 |
19 |
Chicago Bears |
Quite the identity change for the Bears. The
offense is much improved under Trestman but the defense is in disarray. |
|
Rob
Chudzinski |
1 |
5-4 |
20 |
Cleveland
Browns |
The Browns are better than the Ravens and
Steelers. As long as he keeps Weeden on the bench, the team seems to play
better. |
|
Mike Munchak |
3 |
5-3-1 |
21 |
Tennessee
Titans |
A really bad loss against the Jags will cost
the Titans a chance at the postseason. |
|
Jim Schwartz |
5 |
5-4 |
22 |
Detroit Lions |
This team is very difficult to watch. Too many
mental mistakes, undisciplined etc. |
|
Marvin Lewis |
11 |
5-4-1 |
23 |
Cincinnati Bengals |
The Bengals record should be much better than
it is given the talent on that team. The Bengals should seriously consider
promoting one of the assistant coaches to head coach. |
|
Doug Marrone |
1 |
4-6 |
24 |
Buffalo Bills |
The Bills screwed several fantasy owners this
year with the comment that "We're going to give him the ball until he throws
up." Through 9 games, Spiller only has 110 carries. |
|
Mike Smith |
6 |
2-7 |
25 |
Atlanta
Falcons |
2013 has been a disaster of a year for the
Falcons. Offensive play calling has always been so predictable especially in
the red zone. |
|
Gary Kubiak |
8 |
1-7-1 |
26 |
Houston
Texans |
Huge disappointment this season compared to
2012. Worst team against the spread. |
|
Dennis Allen |
2 |
5-4 |
27 |
Oakland
Raiders |
The lack of a passing attack has hurt the
Raiders but everyone knew this going into this season. The Raiders should
win 1 or 2 more games at most but have been competitive in every game so far |
|
Joe Philbin |
2 |
4-5 |
28 |
Miami
Dolphins |
Philbin might not be around at the end of
this season after this offensive line fiasco. |
|
Jason Garrett |
4 |
7-3 |
29 |
Dallas
Cowboys |
The Cowboys can win against teams with losing
records but always find a way to lose against teams with winning records.
Jerry Jones has become the new Al Davis. The Kiffin experiment has
backfired. Rob Ryan was the scapregoat for last season's failure to make the
playoffs. Ryan is probably so happy they sent him packing right now. |
|
Gus Bradley |
1 |
2-7 |
30 |
Jacksonville Jaguars |
Just an impossible task, nothing more to say.
If they win at least 2 games, he should stay. |
|
Leslie
Frazier |
4 |
4-5 |
31 |
Minnesota
Vikings |
There has been such a huge emphasis
surrounding QB play with the Vikings. Has anyone noticed that their defense
can't stop anyone? |
|
Greg Schiano |
2 |
3-6 |
32 |
Tampa
Bay Buccaneers |
Josh Freeman debacle, Revis island disappeared
off the map. The Bucs are competing for the #1 draft pick with the Jags. |
