    Any time a coach takes 2 separate franchises to the top, I think that is impressive.
    I’ve given Reid a bunch of crap over the years but there’s no doubt he had the Eagles at the top for years and has the Chiefs here too.

    Different game for Shula’s era and of course he had Unitas but he had the dolphins competitive a long time.

    He was another Jeff Fisher but actually really good at his job. As a Titans fan I have to respect that.

    What does this even mean? If he was just another Fisher that would mean he sucked pretty bad... wich holds no truth to that.

    Shula unlike Fisher knew how to play to players strengths.

    Well he became a fixture in the place he coached just like Fisher.

    He was a player, just like Fisher.

    He even coached a team that looks like a fish.

    So Fisher

    ????

    He died in 2000. I don’t think he’s gonna make a run at Shula’s record any time soon.

    I'm guessing, but I think that Reid and Belichick would have to catch Landry first.

    I think Belichick has a good chance since he’s already passed him. (273-250 regular season/ 304-270 adding postseason)

    Reid still needs a few more years but the chiefs are currently built to get him pretty good numbers right now.

    George Halas is the only other coach still ahead of Belichick.

    Landry 178
    Dan reeves 174
    Shula 173
    Our boy Fisher 171
    so close to such a major milestone if he could just sucker one more team.

    I was guessing and didn't bother to google. Not that I am remotely a Cowgirlz fan, he just seems to have coached them forever.
