Who's the best coach ever in the young NFC South?

The division has had some very good coaches. All teams have been fairly solid in the coaching department, maybe the one exception is Bobby Petrino who almost succeeded in completely destroying the Falcons. As for the best so far, can make very strong cases for John Fox and Jon Gruden, Mike Smith also looks good so far, of course my money is on Sean Payton. Have to give it to the guy who took a team coming off a horrible season, and bringing them to the NFC Championship game. Of course now that Sean Payton has a Super Bowl win, have to give it to him for now.

Agreed. They'll run Fox out of Carolina before he has a chance to fix the mistake that was Jake...or will they? He created that little monster, so...

Sean gets my vote, as I attempt to be a non-biased as possible, but Fox is right there.
