Didn't Dan Reeves win as a player though? I think he did. Not sure though. He was on the Cowboys.

[BluVayner]

Best coaches not to win a Super Bowl........

If you want to get technical, it's probably George Halas, and Paul Brown.

 

[BradyMancrush]

Of current guys, I'd say Jeff Fisher.

Marty's on all those lists...I rest my case.

Sam Wyche is a jackass. I just wanted to say that. He'd be a perfect coach for the Ravens..whiny little bitch.

 

[dchester]

Chuck Fairbanks

Dick McPherson

Ron Meyer

Raymond Berry


...oh, you wanted SERIOUS answers...?

Coach Mac.
ROFL

FWIW, Raymond Berry actually was a good coach, IMO, and unlike the others you listed, he won some playoff games with the Pats.

I feel the worst for Bud Grant and Marv Levy. Those guys were good coaches, great guys, and had class. Its a shame that Switzer walks around with a ring and these guys don't.

True through n through...although I did love watching the Bills lose. But, definitely not because of Levy.

CHFF did a story on Don Coryell, and why he's not in the HoF.

Still, I agree with you that he was a good coach, and those Fouts-led Chargers teams were fun to watch.

 

[KnowMo2724]

John Fox

 

[Brady's Bunch]

Jeff Fisher might be the most overrated coach of all time

 

[CleatMarks]

John Fox

Yeah, two first place DIVISION finishes in 10 years is incredible. Put him in Canton.

 

[king of kings]

Screw Marty he did it to himself. The 86' drive was all on him.

He has not be able to win a big game since then. His marty ball Looks until he makes it to the playoffs.

 

[PatriotNorth]

Marv Levy came close.....4 times.
