    The standard is losing playoff games mainly the first one the Steelers play on a given year bye or no bye.

    We use great with impunity for everything these days. There is only one great coach, and he lives in New England. Sean McVay is on his way to being a great one if he coaches another decade. Andy Reid is someone you can say is great as well but my definition of great is for the truly great. Andy Reid is a very good coach but has done some suspect decision making that's likely cost him and his team a couple of Super Bowl's. Reid being a very good coach is something I feel is warranted.

    Mike Tomlin is a C+ coach in my book. Better than average to average. He has a great presence. I like his ethics and demeanor. But he has had way too many bad games where he does not have his team prepared to even being a very good coach. He may have some time to be a very good coach now that he will have a new general running his team because I feel Big Ben after 2011 was very unreliable when it mattered.

    Chuck Noll was great. Tom Landry was great. Bill Parcells was great. Vince Lombardi was great.

    And Joe Gibbs was great. My Commanders fan cousin keeps reminding me. 3 Super Bowl wins with different QBs.

    I agree. I believe you pointed out two arguments that will live on forever. Belichick is a great coach. There has been the argument he couldn’t have did it without Brady. Or, Brady couldn’t have been successful elsewhere (we know how that worked out in Tampa, which should end that half of the argument). The other argument that Tomlin wasted Ben’s career. Unfortunately, you are correct, Ben was unreliable when it mattered down the stretch. NE was our stumbling block. Was it Belichick aleatory being prepared? Was it Tomlin being under prepared? Or, was it Ben not spending time in the film room? All questions of “What could have been.”

    Not a Washington fan, but Joe Gibbs was great.

    Maybe I am wrong but I think that Gibbs and Parcells are the only head coach to win at least mutiples super bowl with different QB
