NFL Coach Power Rankings

I guess this is a thing but why not?

17. Ron Rivera, Carolina Panthers

The 2013 Coach of the Year took a step back last season, at least in terms of the win-loss record, but he still has his Panthers headed in the right direction. That starts with the fact that Carolina did not take a step back in the standings, winning its second straight NFC South title. It continues with the new deal for quarterback Cam Newton. And perhaps it will be underlined by a defense that finished 2014 hot. That side of the ball has always been Rivera's best; what he and his staff are able to accomplish on the offensive side is what will determine this club's fate in 2015.

for comparison to the Division:

31. Dan Quinn, Atlanta Falcons

18. Lovie Smith, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

5. Sean Payton, New Orleans Saints

Payton is given sooooooo much undeserved credit.  

[L-TownCat]

Hes should be top 10 just for giving zero fugs and wearing transition lenses.

[SmokinwithWilly]

If he grew back the porn stache, he'd be a lock for the top 3.

[uncfan888]

LOL at Payton and his 7 wins at number 5. I hope he enjoyed having his doors blown off by the #17 best coach in the league in that shithole they call a dome

[saints4lifeagain]

There are two Super Bowl winning head coaches below Payton. 4 in front of him. Acting like he's not a hell of a coach because he had his first losing season since 2007 is laughable.

[pantherclaw]

Sean had his best season as a head coach last year. 

Why not have him rated #1?

How does a coach with 2 wins last year become number 18 after being out of the league

[Jimmy]

Lovie ain't never won poo but those 2 gigantic wins put him only spot behind Riverboat?  I can't wait to stomp them in the fugging ground again this year. His defenses and offenses the last 10 years consistently ranked 20th or worse in the league.  How he won 3 division titles (in 10 years mind you) is beyond me.
