Who was our best game day coach?

I know we haven’t had head coaches or GMs who can consistently put together their best possible roster, but when it comes to maximizing the talent on game day, who comes to mind?

Personally, I had the most faith in John Fox especially on defensive side of the ball, particularly when we were underdogs. Rivera comes second and Rhule is dead last, even behind Seifert.  I don’t think we have ever head a worse head coach from a game planning or in game coaching perspective. There’s a reason we always get crushed in third quarter of almost every game and it’s mostly  due to coaching. 

I like our roster on paper and with the right head coach, this is a playoff team. But honestly how many would place a bet on Rhule getting the most out of this roster this season?

I think Fox and Rivera were about the same. Solid coaches.  Who both had stretches of really solid coaching specifically in seasons were things started to go south or were forced to dig out of holes they basically put themselves in.

No one will unseat Seifert. The guy didnt even give a fug. There probably isnt many on this message board that actually had to sit through his tenure here, be thankful. 

I suffered many a Sunday at BoA watching that jackass pick his nose and caring nada. Winningest coach at SF?..give the hot dog or beer guy Steve Young Jerry Rice and Tom Rathman in their prime and they could win a SB.

I remember him. He used to stand on the sidelines like a corpse emotionless. I was young but I called him zombie coach. It appeared they wheeled him out on a lift like a statue and then wheeled him back in when the game was over. That guy truly did not give a crap and was just standing there collecting a paycheck. I thought he was a great coach with the 49ers but apparently he was riding some coat tails with someone else's roster as he was bottom of the barrel bad and cared not one bit about it. What an ass he was. I think a dead body was more animated than that waste of space.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
