Actually, Parcells left the cowgirls 2 seasons ago. They did much better AFTER he left the team.Originally posted by bobbleheadSay what, Parcells takes over shit programs every where he goes and turns them around....after he leaves those programs tend to slip off considerably(see cowboys this season, I'm calling 9-7)Originally posted by GBRulzNot sure why you have it limited to just two choices and yes, I will agree that both are over rated. However, I can think of others who deserve to be there before Holmgren. Marty Schottenheimer and Bill Parcels jump out at me at the moment.....
He was a very good coach at one time, but that was a while ago. When was the last playoff game he won?
As far as Sherman, Switzer, etc. votes, they were not overrated. At least most people acknowledge that they weren't very good. If you want to vote for the Forrest Gump Award (success despite not being very bright) then sure, Switzer would get my vote.

Certainly.Originally posted by BretskyBad Poll IMO
Holmgren is a good coach
I hate 'the set up' for all the Mike Sherman bashing by people 'so perfect'.** Since 2006 3 X Pro Pickem' Champion; 4 X Runner-Up and 3 X 3rd place.

This post was just about 2 guys that in one case has a street named after him and in both cases have been mentioned along with the greatest coaches in their sport, of all time. Sherman is a different poll because he was over his head in the first place-at least with both jobs.
I never bought the hype about these two guys. I do respect what Favre and MJ thought of them and you cant argue with Jacksons numbers. I dont see him in the same light as Nellie and maybe Pat Riley, guys that get the most from their players. Just my personal thing.Lombardi told Starr to "Run it, and let's get the hell out of here!" - 'Ice Bowl' December 31, 1967

Nellie? You're kidding, right?
Jackson isn't underrated or overrated. He's rightly rated as one of the best of all-time. I do think he needs to get out though. I think he's about had enough."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

Hmmmm.........make a guess as to how Jimmy Johnson's machine would have run had the Queens not made the Herschel Walker trade??Originally posted by GuinessOverated for me? Who was that dweeb that cashed in on the machine Jimmy Johnson's left in Dallas when he bolted?
Perhaps like his 26-21 record with the Dolphins???

You counting this season over already?? He left them ONE season ago because Jones wasn't letting him run it his way. And they got better last year because he rebuilt that team and it was slowly coming into its own. Three straight 5-11 seasons before parcells, he reassembled that roster and they excelled the last 2 years. This year we will see what happens 2 years out from his influence.Originally posted by cheesnerActually, Parcells left the cowgirls 2 seasons ago.

Jets...12-4 losing AFC championship to the superbowl champion broncos.
Patriots...made it to the superbowl.
Giants...2 superbowl titles. When Parcells took over in 1983, the New York Giants were a team that had posted just one winning season in the previous ten years.
Recap, took 3 different teams to championship game, 2 different teams to a superbowl, and turned around 4 organizations that were abject failures in the seasons before his arrival.
that walsh guy was over rated too....and that lombardi fella.
I will admit he fatigues quicker now days and doesn't see it thru like when he was younger, but his record is undeniable. I bet the dolphins are a winning organization within 3 years, probably making the playoffs by the 2010 season.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

IMO, Parcells was only successful when Bellichik was by his side.Originally posted by bobbleheadSay what, Parcells takes over shit programs every where he goes and turns them around....after he leaves those programs tend to slip off considerably(see cowboys this season, I'm calling 9-7)Originally posted by GBRulzNot sure why you have it limited to just two choices and yes, I will agree that both are over rated.

And his last test...with Dallas. The team was a joke and he couldn't control TO. Look at the turnaround in the big D since he left.

See my problem with Riley, is this last time, when he quit on the heat, Stan Van Gundy got them back in contention, and then here comes Riley. Basically Van Gundy should have gotten the first Heat championship and not Riley. And what do you know, the heat do really bad and Riley quits again.Originally posted by sheepsheadI never bought the hype about these two guys.

Although all that to say i went to school with Pat Riley's daughter, a really nice girl, although she smoked alot of weed.

Sherman can't be overrated. Overrated means people think you are better than you are and what objective person would ever call Sherman a great coach, or even a good one? His track record in playoff wins couldn't get him a job with any NFL team as a head coach.
