Is Bill Parcells the greatest mind? Looking what he he has done over and over with various teams. Belichek is great, but came from Parcells system. There were great people who came from Bill Walsh;s system too.

A lot of people have described the Broncos' Mike Shanahan with those words. And look--he's out of work! (Not for long, I'm sure!)

No one's more quotable, of course, than Vince Lombardi--if that's worth anything.

Best regards,
Bob

Isn't Shanahan from Walsh's school?

Yep--at least indirectly. Seifert coached under Walsh and Shanahan coached under Seifert

BTW--Here's a coaching tree I think will surprise at least some:

Marty Schottenheimer's Coaching Tree:

Bill Cowher,Mike Mularkey, Dom Capers, Jim Haslett, Marvin Lewis, Jack Del Río, Tony Dungy, Herman Edwards, and Lovie Smith

Most, including myself think Parcells was a much better coach than Marty Schottenheimer, but if developing head coaches is the test, Parcells isn't close.

Also--Paul Brown is the king in terms of the coaching tree and was both Walsh's and Landry's pick as the best NFL coach of all time.
