When I read that I heard a drunk voice.

Where's Norv Turner?

SoCalSurfer: Where's Norv Turner?

He's not hated by his players, he just sucks.

We love Norv Turner!

JerseyTim: You probably wouldn't want those players who wouldn't want to play for Coughlin and Belichick on your team anyway.

Exactly. Belichik is universally regarded as one of the top 2, and Coughlin is also part of the elite top group. Coughlin is probably the most underrated coach in the league. He catches mad amounts of shiat, but he wins at a pretty impressive clip, often with mediocre talent and gaping holes in certain places.

/Coughlin and Eli are both damn good

and two of the three have won the Super Bowl. Go figure.

Coach isn't your friend, he's yer boss.

And done. Exactly what I came to say.

I've always done my best work when working for a tough boss or a teacher that doesn't want to be my "friend". These players are pussies that lack drive.

I thought Shanahan would have been up there. He just seems like an insufferable bastard with an overinflated ego and no sense of humor.

Only because Singletary isn't coaching anymore

From the comments: how about jerry sandusky??

He's probably back down to earth now that A. he got shut out for the first time in the NFL and B. he's sitting on a .360 winning percentage at Washington.

Sad, but true.

Actually, I think (no proof, just a hunch) that Shanahan has simply mellowed over the years to the point where he doesn't have the energy to be the dictatorial hard-ass he was for his first five seasons in Denver that netted us two titles. You could see the fatigue really starting to set in once the Broncos blew that AFC Championship game to the Steelers a few years ago -- the Broncos were completely lacking discipline and focus, a problem they didn't come CLOSE to having while Elway was still there with Shanahan.

Of course, having to put up with Jay Cutler's shiat would wear me out, too.

Shanny's W-L record without an Elway at QB is something like 108-97. Like being born on the 5 yard line thinking you caught a 94-yard pass.

As voted by the players in total, not players who hate their own coach. Not surprising that they picked two winners.

ftfm.
But I would want to play for a winning coach even if he beat my team my entire career up until that point.

JerseyTim: You probably wouldn't want those players who wouldn't want to play for Coughlin and Belichick on your team anyway.

Ding. Anyone that doesn't want to win should go play somewhere else.

IAmRight: Rent Party: JerseyTim: You probably wouldn't want those players who wouldn't want to play for Coughlin and Belichick on your team anyway.

Ding. Anyone that doesn't want to win should go play somewhere else.

You can't win any other way. That totally explains why the last two coaches to win haven't been dictatorial at all.

The means are irrelevant to the end. Coughlin and Belicheck are assholes, and they win. If them being a meany-poopy-face is more important to you than the fact that they win, go play somewhere else.

I honestly cannot think of a coach I hate.
My hate starts with particular fans, then players, then referees.

Mike Tomlin didn't get voted because he will hunt you. Using your dreams.

Coughlin is the number 1 preseason coach. He isn't trying out new plays, or testing young players, or evaluating free agents. He is trying to win the damn game.

Shanahan about choosing Jay Cutler over Jake Plummer with the Broncos still 7-4 and in playoff position: "It's not about making the playoffs, it's about winning the Super Bowl."

Number of times Shanahan has made the playoffs since: 0
Number of winning seasons for Shanahan since: 0

I guess he forgot you have to make the playoffs in order to have a chance to win the Super Bowl.

oh, and Shanahan was 40-18 or something like that with Plummer, so since then he's sub-.500.

Jake Plummer.
Serious business.

Oh yeah, these guyssure look filled with hate:

JerseyTim: You probably wouldn't want those players who wouldn't want to play for Coughlin and Belichick on your team anyway.

Bears repeating.

This

Lemme guess... Tom Coughlin and Bill Belicheck?

Yup yup.

I remember when Dick Vermeil was the asshole of the month, players biatching about practices, etc in St. Louis.

In the following year, they won the Super Bowl.

It's weird how a lot of the top vote getters also align with:

"His defense beat the hell out of our offense". Coughlin, Belichick (although not so much recently), Ryan, Schwatz, and Harbaugh all fit in there. So that's either a bunch of Haynesworth types voting "coach made my ass work" or a punch of really sore offensive skill players.

Tony is on there because he's incompetent, Carroll and Haley are on the douchebag side of things.

Don't hatie Lovie.

I am was a Colts fan and not afraid to admit it. Its all because of this guy. This season has almost NOTHING to do with Manning's absence.
