The League's Top Ten Coaches All Ought to be Fired

[hondo in seattle]

Winning a few games isn’t enough anymore. A good HC coach need to elevate the play of his roster as well as Lombardis.  All of the league’s top ten winningest coaches ought to be replaced. 

 

1. Nick Sirianni – Philadelphia Eagles

Regular Season Win Percentage: .709
Why He Should Be Fired:
Inherited a Howie Roseman-built juggernaut and rode the “tush push” and good coordinators to NFC glory in 2022 and NFL glory in 2024.  Sirianni is just along for the ride. 

 

2. Jim Harbaugh – San Diego Chargers

Regular Season Win Percentage: .679
Why He Should Be Fired:
A coaching throwback.  Pushes a 1960s run-first philosophy when his most talented offensive player is his QB.  Militaristic, combative, rigid, not a player’s coach.  Doesn’t adapt to the strengths and shortcomings of his roster; makes them adapt to him.  Was a good college coach but his techniques don’t transfer to the pros; he could beat Ohio State but can’t beat Mahomes.        

 

3. Matt Lefluer – Green Bay Packers

Regular Season Win Percentage: .655
Why He Should Be Fired:
Can’t win games that matter.  Last season the Packers went 0–6 against top NFC teams, including two losses each to the Lions, Vikings, and Eagles.  Likewise, has a losing record in the playoffs. 

 

4. Andy Reid – Kansas City Chiefs

Regular Season Win Percentage: .646
Why He Should Be Fired:
Took 21 years to win his first Lombardi.  If he were any good, it would have happened sooner. Only started winning trophies when Mahomes and Spags showed up. His clock management is a national joke and his walrus-like visage and sideline demeanor inspire more memes than confidence.

 

5. Sean McDermott – Buffalo Bills

Regular Season Win Percentage: .646
Why He Should Be Fired:
Never mind that he rebuilt a laughingstock franchise, developed Josh Allen, and made the playoffs six of seven years. The combination of 13 seconds and zero Lombardis, despite having a generational talent under center, ought to send him packing.

 

6. Kevin O’Connell – Minnesota Vikings

Regular Season Win Percentage: .636
Why He Should Be Fired:
No passion, can’t build a defensive coaching staff, poor clock management, poor 4th down calls, early playoff exits, a tendency to lose primetime games and games against division rivals…  the list goes on and on.  A nice guy coaching to be fired. 

 

7. Mike Tomlin – Pittsburgh Steelers

Regular Season Win Percentage: .617
Why He Should Be Fired:
Hasn’t won a playoff game since 2016. His loyalty to Matt Canada was borderline criminal. Steelers fans are rightly tired of wild-card exits and offensive impotence.

 

8. John Harbaugh – Baltimore Ravens

Regular Season Win Percentage: .616
Why He Should Be Fired:
Improbable fourth-quarter collapses are his trademark. Most recently, blew a 15-point lead to the Bills late in the 4th despite having the better roster.  One ring in 17 seasons speaks of luck, not skill. Lamar Jackson’s prime is being wasted on Harbaugh’s stubborn loyalty to underperforming coordinators. 

 

9. Sean McVay – Los Angeles Rams

Regular Season Win Percentage: .612
Why He Should Be Fired:
Won a Super Bowl with a rented roster and Aaron Donald then went 5-12 the following season.  Only as good as his roster.  Adds nothing.  He’s supposed to be an offensive genius but only managed to put up 3 points in his first SB appearance and didn’t exactly light it up in his second. 

 

10. Sean Payton – Denver Broncos

Regular Season Win Percentage: .610
Why He Should Be Fired:
He only managed to drive a Ferrari named Brees to the SB once and produced a playoff win record only a smidge above .500 thanks in large part to bottom-10 defenses.  His playoff woes continue with the Broncos with only one appearance in two years, a 31-7 loss to the Bills.  The Broncos didn’t need a legacy hire—they need a coach who can win in the AFC West. Payton’s not that guy.

Yes. 

[Malazan]

ok.

[T.E.]

Does Sean McDermott get credit over Daboll (and even Dorsey) for developing Josh Allen? Are we going with that narrative now?

Are you kidding me 

 

Dude it takes an entire coaching staff to develop a franchise NFL quarterback... Sean McDermott has his entire fingerprints all over this organization from top down 

 

Yes Josh Allen spends plenty of time with McDermott and he absolutely gets credit for helping to develop him.. Bill belichick gets credit for helping to develop Tom Brady as well 

 

McDermott is not a hands-off coach he has fingerprints all over this roster, obviously he's been a huge influence on Allen

 

A bum coach would have had Josh keeping his bad habits and never developing

[Victory Formation]

[boater]

This is well crafted sarcasm making fun of McDermott haters... I think.

[Mr. WEO]

I figured it was satire until I saw Tomlin  listed

I think it's a pretty big leap to suggest that a defensive coach who watched a QB competition between Josh Allen and Nathan Peterman for a full summer, only to ultimately select Peterman as his starter, has a ton of QB-development acumen.
