The lists look pretty close to what I would have voted. I would put DV higher and that's not just the homer in me talking. He is a players coach all the way.

that's cool, you'd think we'd get better FA's with everyone wanting to play for him.

Wow Parcells made the best and worst list in addition to the Coach you would most want to play for.

I would still like know why everybody thinks Bill Belichick is such a great coach, I guess nobody remembers his days in Cleveland.

Players cannot vote for own coach.
