Parcells needs a mention

All good choices
I'd vote Walsh,yes good players but he changed the game with them.

I'll take Lombardi, Brown, Halas & Walsh. I don't want to put a living coach up there.

Only 1, a certain coach named Ditka.

STAX · 08-04-14, 01:44 AM

Cannot possibly leave off Paul Brown.... good call on Halas. Id vote Walsh or Halas for the 4th head, slight nod to Walsh

Cuse0323 · 08-04-14, 01:51 AM

Walsh

thechaoz · 08-04-14, 04:20 AM

Walsh and Harbaugh in twenty years

broadway6 · 08-04-14, 05:28 AM

Will Belichick's camcorder accompany him?

Capybara · 08-04-14, 12:39 PM

Your fourth head is Bill Walsh. He changed the game.

If Papa Bear aint on there, I am not visiting. You can talk about other guys revolutionizing the game, he and a very few others essentially built the NFL. There isn't a game to revolutionize if not for him.

40 years as a coach when the league averaged 12 games a season and he still has the second most wins (318) and 3rd place isn't even close. Active coach closest is bellicheck with I believe 199. So he would have to average 12 wins a season for the next 10 years to catch him. That ain't happening.

Papa Bear is definitely in top 4. At least.

***Note - author of the above is die-hard Bears fan so will admit he is slightly biased.

No one will ever convince me Vince Lombardi, Paul Brown, and Bill Belichick aren't on it,

but who is the 4th head?

I like Bill Walsh and even John Madden over the likes of Bill Parcells, Chuck Noll, or Don Shula. Anyone else deserve consideration?

How can you put Belichick ahead of Parcells.
Parcells made Belichick.
Parcells took Perkins clusterfuck New York Giants and made them a force.
Took over a laughing stock Jets organazation and made them relevant.

Belichick did shit with the Browns, got shit canned by the Ravens, and who was it that gave an unemployed Belichick another NFL chance?
Oh Parcells did.

Stax this is not directed at you, Belichick does not belong in the same sentence and Bill Parcells.

Belichick needed a tuck rule to steal a win, he's a snake of a man of gigantic proprotions, how he fukked over the Jets was deplorable, he steals other teams plays with video tape. etc. etc. etc.

Don't tell me he didn't know that Hernandez was a psychopath either, it starts from the top down, he knew.
As long as Hernandez was catching passes, he didn't care, the day Hernandez stopped catching passes, Belichick would have thrown him out like the newspaper under the parrots cage, did not matter though, Hernandez is in jail for life, and the second he got caught, dear old Bill was like "we never knew" STFU you fat fuk, you knew, and then you turn your back on him.

Complete, total asshole.
