Who is the Greatest Living Coach

[Deuce]

Duece if you gonna hold it against Phil having MJ and Kobe im not sure how you can ignore the fact Torre had the highest payroll every year or that those det teams were clearly more talented than the rest of league....i dont care who you are w/o great talent coaching doesnt mean shit

Fair enough, Det had the best team as soon as he came to the team. Couldn't do shit with coaches before. I agree with your argument on Torre though, Phil though I have a tough time with. Maybe it isn't right but I don't see that guy doing anything with a team like Memphis or Minnesota.

of coarse not but no one could, players make teams (especially in NBA), great coaches help those players achieve there goals, Memphis though im not so sure about as they have some young talent and potential so maybe a bad example but i know what you are saying......

6 undefeated seasons, most football wins all time, no probation, and 2 national championships. JoePa get the nod from me. Folks 6 undefeated seasons in big boy football will never be done by anyone else. Hands down.

Hands down the greatest living coach is Scotty Bowman. Bowman won a record 9 Stanley Cups as Coach and 3 in a front offic capacity.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotty_Bowman.

If this doesn't impress you then nothing will.

Scotty Bowman...

Guy has 12 Stanley Cup rings. No one is close.

9 as a head coach.

No one will ever come close to putting up Bowman like numbers. The guy is in a class of his own between all pro sports combined.

NFL is played by professional paid men. MEN. Since when did it become big boy football.

Hey Chi,
Google Morgan Wootten.

This guy is unbelievable.
Worth the effort.

Bobby Bowden has to be considered. Look at what FSU football was when he arrived. He made that into a premiere college team.

Geno Auriemma????No not really
