[Cappster]

Hmmmmmm...One would think that having the Super Bowl trophy named after one certain individual that people may want to give a bit more respect to arguabley THE greatest coach that has ever coached in the NFL.

[Countertrey]

Over 23% of all fans who have voted so far did NOT put Lombardi in their top 20!!!

Then, clearly, 23% of all fans who voted...
1: Were not qualified
2: Really should put down the crack pipe, and,
3: Are probably sporting a really nifty Dallas Cowboys fan finger while serving coffee at White Castle.

Over 23% of all fans who have voted so far did NOT put Lombardi in their top 20

that's a shame - or an indictment ...

I may have only been in the USA for just over 40 years - even I know that Vince Lombardi is CERTAINLY one of the top 20 NFL coaches ...

I guess it shows how IGNORANT many NFL fans are -

[Deadskins]

I always thought Jim Mora was entertaining, but looking at his numbers, I have to wonder why he's even on this list. I guess coaching the Saints to their first ever winning season is accomplishment enough. Seriously though, it looks like 100 wins or a championship gets you on the list.

As for 23% not voting for Lombardi, they probably only voted for 1 coach.


Other notable stats:

George Allen: #4 regular season winning percentage.

Vince Lombardi: #3 regular season winning percentage, #1 post season winning percentage, #3 championships

Joe Gibbs: #3 post season winning percentage among coaches with more than 10 post season games. #1 post season winning percentage among coaches with more than 20 post season games.

Bill Parcells: Numbers are totally underwhelming. (.500's in both regular and post seasons)

Andy Reid: Same.

John Madden: Should be much higher on the list.

Weeb Ewbank: 1 game over .500 3 championships, though.

Weeb is in my top 20. Just making sure that you know the list I posted is the top 50 alphabetical. Madden probably made the top 10 for ESPN I guess we'll find out.

I was referring to to voting list, not the alphabetical list.

[welch]

Age of voters. How many voters remember Lombardi, Halas, Paul Brown? Curly Lambeau?

Weeb: Colts and the Jets: from nothing to champs.

[BigRedskinDaddy]

I bumped this to ask did JG make the top 20? I never could sit down to the entire two segments on ESPEON so I don't know for sure (although I have my doubts...)

Thanks in advance for the 411.

By voting list do you mean the top 20 list? I didn't know they had revealed Madden's position as of May 25. All you said was "the list" and it was only natural to think you were looking at the list I posted.

back at ya.

BTW - like welch said, Ewbank built two crappy teams from the ground up. Paul Brown hated losing him.

Also, someone asked where Gibbs came in. He came in 9th.
