This puts him in there for sure. Also a great player.
Born 11 Sept 1924 at Mission, Hidalgo County, Texas. Enlisted in Army Air Force 24 Feb 1943 at San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Had three years of college at time of enlistment. Did most of his training in Texas. Served in 8th US Air Force, 493rd Bomb Group, 860th Bomb Squadron in the UK. Training as Co-Pilot. Flew 26 combat missions. Awards: AM (3OLC), EAME (2BS), WWII Victory. Post-war coach of Dallas Cowboys from 1960 to 1988. Died 12 Feb 2000 in Dallas, Texas. Lombardi did more in a short amount of time than pretty much anyone. No coach in National Football League history achieved more success in less time than Lombardi did during his nine seasons in Green Bay. He won five NFL championships, including Super Bowls I and II, and compiled a remarkable 89-29-4 regular-season record. When Lombardi arrived in Green Bay in 1959, the Packers were coming off their worst season ever, a 1-10-1 finish, and hadn't had a winning record in 11 years. His first year, the Packers finished 7-5, and he was named NFL Coach of the Year. The Packers narrowly lost the 1960 NFL Championship Game and then captured their five titles in just seven years. The crowning achievement was winning three straight from 1965 to 1967, something no other NFL team has done since postseason play began in 1933. Lombardi resigned as coach of the Packers on Feb. 1, 1968, to focus on his duties as general manager. He was released from his contract as GM on Feb. 6, 1969, so he could return to coaching in Washington. Including his one season there, his overall winning percentage in all games, including the post-season, was .750, the best in NFL history among coaches with at least 100 victories. In fact, John Madden is the only other coach to have a winning percentage above .700. "You might reduce Lombardi's coaching philosophy to a single sentence: In any game, you do the things you do best and you do them over and over and over," said George Halas, coach of the Chicago Bears for 40 years and winner of more than 300 games. "Lombardi didn't surprise or confound you. He just beat you." |

Not a bad first four, other than Shula most agree.
Landry is definitely Shula's equal. satan should be on the list, but who likes satan?? Phil won more than anyone, and was banging the hot owner. Lombardi has earned a nod. Herb Brooks had a moment of glory, which will never be exceeded. No one mentioned Chuck Noll, Pat Riley, Bill Walsh or Andy Reid. |

Bill Walsh took a 2-14 team and won 4 Super Bowls. He was a genius. Invented the West Coast Offense. He would be the first person i would want as a Head Coach. |
