I still give the nod for greatest ever coach to Paul Brown, for his innovations, but Belichick is right behind him in my book. Brown came into pro football at a time where it was played, coached, and run very poorly and inefficiently. He made all those innovations, but at the same time, the improve...

Gruden had his mandate when the Fourth Stooge hired him: screw Oakland, we're building for Vegas. I think the record is 11 coaching changes due to firing or resigning, in 2008.
