THIS IS SO TRUE.
Best coach ever.
Period.
You can argue about best qb, running back, linebacker, ect. [not many arguements about wr].
But Bill B. will go down in history as the greatest football coach to ever step on the field.

Bills winning percentage is among the elite and might possibly be the best! His post season winning percentage is the best in NFL history! He has won 3 Superbowls and is not done yet! Who is better???Who??? Lombardi???? Sorry...no! Chuck Knoll??? Please!!! Schula??? No!!! Landry??? Uh-uh!! Parcells??? Not on your life!!! They win the Superbowl this year to crown the undefeated season and you can put Bills name on the top of the list for all time with no question!!! Right now I still think he is the best and smartest coach in history!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

its very difficult to say but their are many that are up there, and it is very difficult to say that one coach is better comparing from various decades.

What makes you say 100% that it is BB is the better question?

Lombardi would get my vote, but you can make an argument for others. If BB and the patriots win the superbowl he would have catapulted up there and if he wins one or two more with this team then you would have to give it to him and alot of other patriots as best in their position (but that is always argumentative).

Definetly top 5 coach of all-time, but to say he is the best ever is arrogance at its best. with that said I would take him as coach of my team anyday.

what makes bb better than lombardi or knoll or the big tuna???

The game changes decade to decade its not that easy to just say one is better than the other.

Winning percentage how many times a year does he play the bills, jets and miami??? every thing can be knocked for everyone.

Knoll's drafting ability was unprecedented and still to this day is unmatched, but with free-agency the game is different today.

One day the Patriots will not be the juggernaut that they were. for a dynasty team to not make the playoffs one year in their run doesn't help the coach. I know it seems very long ago but 9-7 in 2002 following the superbowl win was not a great season.

Oh yes, Spy gate does not help.

You had a great argument going until you threw the Big Tuna in the Mix......Both his superbowls were won on Defense.....and who was his Defensive Coordinator???

wrikerjr - What team do you root for?
Here at S-B most of us are life long Pats fans, and know exactly what the lean years were like. If any team was due for good fortune, it's the Patriots.

In Bill we trust, after all he is
The Greatest Coach Ever

Spygate?? Please....they all do it.....they have also proved they can outright win so lets put that to bed!

They play the Bills, Jets and Miami 2 times....whats your point there??? You do not agree they had the toughest schedule in all of football this season??

Are you saying they are not a Dynasty because the season after their first Superbowl win they went 9-7??? After they went 9-7 they won back to back Superbowls.......soooooo....whats your point?

I am a life long cowboy fan, I am use to lean times, I am use to great dynasties as well. Who do I owe it to the best owner in football.

You could argue with many people that their team is due. I know a ton of Jets fans who would say that they are due for good fortune. You can't argue with that.

I do admit that you have a dynasty, yes, its true, but to say BB is the best coach ever you guys are getting a going a little far.

Who is the best receiver ever - Moss?
Best QB ever - Brady?
Best Linebacker ever - ?
They are not all patriots - ?
