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

Time to weigh in: Best coach in history? - NFC South Blog - ESPN

This news clip gives me/us a thought provoking moment! Who is indeed the best ever coach of this young division? Is it Sean Payton, in light of the Super Bowl season? I vote for him. What say you?

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

Well, if Super Bowls won in the NFC South is the deciding factor, that's a pretty short list. That said, I'll take SP over Chuckie.

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.

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

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.

Tough between Gruden and SP. I'd give the edge to SP. Gruden has been around longer as a HC but one could argue he won his SB with a lot of Dungy guys and staff.

SP came in and completely rebuilt from the ground up. So i say SP.

I know who's the craftiest, the most cunning, the most inventive, and the one with the biggest kahoonas! Does that count?

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

Tough one. In my mind, it's either Gruden or Payton. Gruden did win a Super Bowl with Brad Johnson as his quarterback, but his strength was his defense. Payton won a Super Bowl with a mediocre (if not opportunistic) defense, but it was one of the greatest offensive minds of this generation.

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

Well, let's also look at the fact that the Raiders coach after Gruden was fired, got a free ride to the Superbowl, with the team that Gruden built. So turn about is fair play. I gotta be a homer on this one. Mr. Payton, you are the man!

Sean Gruden

Does it have to be a headcoach because I wanna say Monte Kiffin.

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

Gruden!

He turned Tampa in to pure pi$$ed off attitude! After he left, they went back to the same ole Buc's.

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

Sean Payton is the best but Chuckie was very good as well.

Dungy best coach in NFC South history - NFC South Blog - ESPN

Yasinskas picks Dungy as best coach ever in NFC South. Well... he was a good coach, but IMHO he did his damage in the AFC South. SP will change his mind the next few years I think.

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

Payton all the way.

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

i'm sold s.p.

Home Team aside Sean Payton is hands down. Not to take away from Gruden, but Dungy had that team primed to win it was his defense in tampa Gruden has an Intense attitude so it worked well with what was there, Sean P went from the bottom to the top, came in to a 2-14 team turned it around to a 10-6 team were a minus a fred thomas away from possibly playing in the SB 2 seasons later has a QB 1 broken route away from an unbreakable record the following year goes 13-0 while molesting alleged best teams in the league with 40 bugers to start the season finished 16-3 in route to THE FIRST SUPER BOWL IN FRANCHISE HISTORY, and to think it only cost him $250k, that move right there I hold in regard to The Babe pointing to the fences. Thats why is and come this time next year will forever be the best coach in the NFC South
