Who goes on Mount Rushmore for coaches??
 

My four would be, in descending order:

1) Mr. Wooden, The Wizard of Westwood, 10 NCAA titles, 7 consecutive, 88 game win streak
2) Don Shula, 347 wins, many when seasons were 14 games
3) Red Auerbach, 9 NBA titles, 7 more while GM
4) Herb Brooks, got the gold against the ruskies, GREATEST WIN IN HISTORY OF AMERICAN TEAM SPORTS

I am not a MLB fan, thus none on there, but Billy Martin was my favorite, his record was average, but the entertainment he provided was world-class.

Who you got??

:waiting:

Tom Landry?

Bobby Knight?

Nick Saban? :hide:

All three are vote worthy.

I feel Shula did more than Tom, Shula had more wins and coach for 5 more seasons.

Bobby Knight was good, and entertaining, but not close to The Wizard.

satan, I hate satan!!

Lombardi. Now STFU.

Probably for someone not a Shula fan.
Only coached Packers for 10 seasons.
Two Super Bowls and 3 NFL Championships in 1961, 1962, 1965.

Shula

I always said Larry was one of the smartest doods on the forum!!

I can live with that, Phil won 11 titles, many would take over Red.

Saban
Phil Jackson
Shula
Wooden

Bill Belichick is the greatest coach in the NFL as he has won an NFL-record eight Super Bowls (six as a head coach with the Patriots and two as an assistant coach with the Giants). He also ranks first among all NFL coaches in playoff wins with 31.



Don Shula was 2-4 in Super Bowls and 19-17 in playoffs.

Don Shula won 347 game over 33 years. Bill Belichick won 329 games in 24 seasons. Sorry, but Belichick > Shula

Now back to being realistic and not homers.

1. John Wooden
2. Phil Jackson
3. Nick Saban
4. Red Auerbach

Belichick w/o Brady got exposed in a hurry. 83-101 without Brady… he made one absolutely amazing draft pick. Brady > Belichick IMO

8 – Number of Miami players who played under Shula and were selected into the Hall of Fame, including WR Paul Warfield (Class of 1983), FB Larry Csonka (1987), Jim Langer (1987), QB Bob Griese (1990), G Larry Little (1993), C Dwight Stephenson (1998), LB Nick Buoniconti (2001) and QB Dan Marino (2005


1 - Belichick has only coached one Hall of Famer, Junior Seau who played a few years at the end of his career with the Patriots. Randy Moss who will be in the HOF played his final years with the Patriots. The only HOF'er that played with Belicheck is Tom Brady.



So will take the 8 HOF 'players from Shula and see how his record would be.

So Shula was better at developing people? :D

Nick Saban
Ed Orgeron
Les Miles

The Bear.

John McKay who got the SEC to wake up and allow blacks to play in their Conference. The same with the Southwest/Big 12 Conference.

If any coach should be on the list it's John McKay. :yesnod:
