I heard about the list on "Mike and Mike" this morning and the one they were talking about that was too high was Don Shula

Sorry Jack

Think Noll and Walsh are both too low

I actually think Gibbs is too high myself for the NFL

[BigFratDaddy]

this list blows....no Jimmy Johnson?

Shula is so underrated as a coach but it doesn't bother me personally. The all-time win leader has to mean something

I mean he won championships on a collegiate level and professional.....not to mention coached and created one of the best NFL Dynasties of all time.


Hes no Hack. Id slide him in at 48

[Gerk]

Actually pleasantly suprised to see Herb Brooks on the list

He did coach probably the biggest upset in the history of American sports, but still didn't think he would be Top 50

Won 3 NCAA championships with Minnesota but under. 500 as a pro coach

Can you get in on the results of one win? Because there's no way he would be in otherwise.
