I think you would be in the minority of most NFL fans in claiming Andy is a top 5-10 coach of all time. I'm not sure he is even top 5 in the NFL right now. I'd take Belichick, Reich, Shanahan, Pederson, and maybe even Harbaugh over Andy (it's probably about even with Harbaugh).

Yes, I realize some of those coaches are Reid disciples, but this makes sense b/c as I've said, Andy is mostly a great coach with the exception of a couple flaws that tend to be fatal to super bowl hopes. If you can find coaches who have trained under Andy and learned the good traits and who can correct the flaws, then that leaves you with a pretty good coach.

I do agree with you on Payton, by the way. He coached an awful game this weekend and has been mediocre for years.

So, you’re an Eagles fan?
