Coaching Tiers in the NFL

[LnGrrrR]

Mono's post got me thinking... what are the tiers of coaching in the NFL? Feel free to disparage any of my choices... http://espn.go.com/nfl/coaches/_/id/null

Best of the Best

Belichick (Pats)
Reid (Eagles)
Tomlin (Steelers)

Pretty damn solid

Coughlin (Giants)
Norv (Chargers)
Fisher ( ans)
Payton (Saints)
Rex Ryan (Jets)

Better than average

Shanahan (Redskins)
Del Rio (Jaguars)
John Fox (Panthers)
Peyton Manning... I mean, Jim Caldwell (Colts)
Lovie Smith (Bears)
Mike McCarthy (Packers)
Whisenhunt (Cardinals)

Just average/untested


Marvin Lewis (Bengals)
Raheem Morris (Bucs)
Tony Sparano (Dolphins)
John Harbaugh (Ravens)
Eric Mangini (Browns)
Mike Smith (Falcons)

Not quite good enough

Gary Kubiak (Texans)
Pete Carroll (Seahawks)
Steve Spagnulo (Rams)
Todd Haley (Chiefs)

Pretty bad

Josh McDaniels (Broncos)
Chan Gailey (Bills)

Dreadful

Mike Singletary (49ers)
Jim Schwartz (Lions)
Tom Cable (Raiders)

Not enough games (also known as N/A)

Leslie Frazier (Vikings)
Jason Garrett (Cowboys)


I think that's all of them.
