Head Coach Rankings


Stumpy

Recommended Posts

When we launched Head Coach Ranking in 2017, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was the only coach to earn a perfect score of 10 for a single week. Not a surprise, considering Belichick is widely regarded as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

Anybody wanna guess where ole Riverboat ranks...?

That list is laughable, and I'm mad at myself for wasting life in my life looking at it...

Rivera has proven himself to be a Top 10 Coach, and by even the harshest measurement, above average.

You don't win Coach of the Year 2x and take a team to the SB and the playoff 4 out of the last 5 years being the 24th best coach in the league

Well, Ron has been playing the hell out of Stone Hands Smith with rookie DJ Moore sitting around with his thumb up his ass.  That's got to knock him down several pegs, especially if we're living in the moment and not looking at the full body of work.  Because if that's the case, why would any first year HC be ranked higher?  Plus, he's a defensive coach whose defense has shown severe lapses so far this season.  I wouldn't go as low as they have him but he's slightly below average at best.

HCR is run by Craig Ellenport. Ellenport is a journalist that has not coached a SINGLE game of college or professional football.

The only thing that separates his opinion from the rest of the huddles is that he knows how to use their, there, and they’re correctly.

Additionally, the system HCR uses is INCREDIBLY flawed.

Coaches are graded on play calling, personnel utilization, game planning, in-game adjustments, and clock management. The coach then receives a grade ranging from 1-10 in each of the five areas previously mentioned. The total number is then divided by five and that is the coaches “grade”.

The grading system considers all areas equal which is one of the most simplistic and dumbest grading “algorithms” that I have ever seen.

HCR is worse than PFF.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
