This is going to be short and sweet. It is an opinion piece and will not include very much as far as reasons why I place these head coaches in the category of worst in the NFL. If you need someone to write out reasons for these picks, you don’t watch football. And that is fine, it is just that this post ain’t for you, dawg.
1) Dick Jauron. The Buffalo Bills will never go anywhere with this man at the helm. Never.
2) Brad Childress. Sure is a good thing he brought in Brett Favre, who can manage a game better while he’s sleeping than Childress ever will be able to with even two weeks to prepare, to the Vikings. Now Peterson might be able to go deep into the playoffs.
3) Eric Mangini. Brett Favre almost saved him last year, but his arm fell apart. To see what would have happened to the New York Jets last year without Favre saving his ass, see the Cleveland Browns this year.
4) Mike Holmgren. Yeah, I know he is not a coach right now. But he soon will be. And it will quickly become apparent why he is on this list when he comes back. The man does not know clocks exist. He is horrible. He was another coach saved by the talent on his team – often by Favre – who won in spite of him when they did win. With a good coach at the helm, the Steelers have one less Super Bowl and the Seahawks have one. You can’t argue it objectively, so don’t try.
5) Andy Reid. Worst play caller in the league. The Philadelphia Eagles would have made at least three Super Bowls in the past ten years if they’d had a coach who was very good. And won at least two of those.
I don’t think I need to mention Jim Zorn, who won’t be a head coach again after the Redskins send him packing.
