Overrated or Underrated coaches or managers
Who's overrated in any of the big sports as a coach or manager?

Can Phil Jackson actually be underrated with 11 titles?

Is Lou Pineila overrated? Love the guy, but does he actually ever win anything?

How about Wade Phillips? Is he a little underrated?

Thoughts?

Lou Pinella is way overrated, not even sure how he's rated

Phil Jackson is underrated if he's not considered the greatest coach in NBA history

I've always though Byron Scott was a good coach, did a solid job with New Jersey before Jason Kidd turned on him, and did a marvelous job for the Hornets, and then they let him go LMAO,

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?

No underrated list is complete without listing Ron Gardenhire

9 years, 5 divison championships. Twins philosophy changing a little now, but on an equal basis with other teams money wise, would have loved to see how he would have done

Disclaimer: Fade me or trail me, but you do so at your own risk! This is gambling and trust me you could lose, just ask my bookie! No "megastar galaxy lock of the years or game of the week/year, unless otherwise posted I play everything to win 1 unit! If you lose trailing me, I don't want to hear any crying!
