The Sporting News 50 Greatest Coaches

Or, as it should be called, "Why the Sporting News Is Not a Credible Source"

Or even better, "f**k This Publication."

http://www.sportingnews.com/college-basketball/article/2009-07-29/sporting-news-50-greatest-coaches-all-time

According to this list, Bill Walsh is only the 26th greatest coach of all time. Behind such luminaries as Pat Summitt.

No, even worse is that he's considered the 9th greatest NFL coach of all time. Behind Vince Lombardi, Don Shula, Paul Brown, George Halas, Chuck Noll, Joe Gibbs, Tom Landry, and Bill Belichick.

Guy dominates an entire decade, creates an entirely new offense, manages to neutralize Lawrence Taylor for a period of time, and somehow is considered worse than Belichick.

f**k The Sporting News.

Wow.

I was just looking at this mag earlier and noticed Bill Walsh not even in the top 10, and I wiped my ass with the mag and put it back on the shelf

I just about lost my min (already in the proces of being lost the more I read the list) when Bill Belicheat was ranked ahead of Bill Walsh. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Joe Gibbs 9 spots ahead of Bill Walsh LOL Now I remember why I havent bought a Sporting News in 20 years.

Here's the list of f**k-sticks who thought so little of Walsh.**

Wow, thats f**king terrible. if we were still good though, he would be higher. but we're not a popular team at the moment so all of our guys get underrated.

How is Bill Walsh not #1? f**k Shula and Lombardi. Overrated as hellllllll.

utter complete bulls**t


You want to give guys like Landry and Shula life time achievement points vs a decade of performance .... Go for it...you set a standard and I can respect that.


but Bill Belichick, NFL ???


Get The f**k out...


Really f**k off........

I feel angrier about Gibbs, actually.

. . . Walsh at #26 is about as stupid as it gets . . . nice editing . . .

SN's greatest coaches
1. John Wooden, college basketball
2 Vince Lombardi
3 Bill Walsh, NFL

I think Walsh should be 3rd all time. It is just a joke on some of the coaches listed higher:

Worst:
#4 Phil Jackson - give me a break. Even Nellie could have won with the talent
that Jackson had. NEVER built a team nor won with lesser talent

#9 Casey Stengel - LOL.. ya because he had to manage Mantle, Maris, and all the
great Yankees.. This is a joke

#11 Pat Summitt.. Womens BB coach 15 spots ahead of Walsh. LOL.. She did
build a nice program but WTF!!!!!!!

#17 Joe Gibbs Good coach no doubt but ranked this high??? Please
#30 Pat RIley Really?? Because he had the greatest group of talent ever???

I think Walsh is punished because he didn't have the longevity that others on that list had. That being said, he's about 10-15 slots too low, IMO.
