NFL Top 10 Head Coaches

By Barb Layton

My take on the top 10 NFL Head Coaches. So many analysts give their top 10 at this time of year. So I decided to do list too.

1. Patriots Bill Belichick: This was a no brainer. No one else belongs in the top spot.

2. Chiefs Andy Reid: He has always been a top coach, but winning the Super Bowl last year gives him the 2nd spot in my rankings.

3. Saints Sean Peyton: He has been an excellent coach for many years. He just continues to win. In my book that gives you the 3rd spot.

4. Steelers Mike Tomlin: He is the 4th best coach in the NFL for 3 reasons. He never had a losing season. He has been in 2 Super Bowls and won 1. Like Belichick and his talent evaluation in the draft process Mike Tomlin is just like him.

5. Ravens John Harbaugh: He has changed his offensive thinking and is still winning. Lamar Jackson is a very good QB/RB. He build the offense around his QB. His running attack is better than most teams.

6. Eagles Doug Pederson: He went from a high school coach to NFL coach. He had a super bowl victory with a back up QB. One more thing he beat Bill Belichick with a backup QB that contemplated retirement the season before.

7. Seahawks Pete Carroll: He can have a team on paper that looks mediocre and will take them to the playoffs. Could it be him or the greatness of QB Russell Wilson? Only time will tell.

8. 49ers Kyle Shanahan: I feel there is not a long enough history to rank him higher than 8th at this time. He has proved that he does belong in the top 10. He is building a very good offense and has one of the best defenses in the league.

9. Rams Sean McVay: I feel the same way about McVay as I did Shanahan. He is a very good coach with the talent he has around him. He has regained the respect in the league for the Rams. They are a very talented team and the credit goes to Sean McVay.

10 Titans Mike Vrabel: It was a genius idea to use Ryan Tannehill as QB. He proves he is a good coach by knocking off both Belichick and Harbaugh in the playoffs last season.

I would like to hear your thoughts on my head coach rankings.
