2018 NFL off-season thread: Mr. Alex Smith goes to Washington

Favre was a second-rounder, though. No.33 in a 28-team league.

Falcons also had two first-rounders that year, getting Bruce Pickens and Mike Prichard.

 

Jeff Fisher.
Or George Seifert.

 

Jerry Richardson has no idea what you're talking about.

 

Weeb Ewbank, one super bowl, .507 winning percentage and he's in the HOF. Shoot, I'm guessing Mike McCarthy is a lock with his .626 winning pct.

 

Whether he inherited a gem or not, Seifert still won two Super Bowls and coached one -- and possibly two -- of the greatest NFL teams of all-time, five years apart, and never won less than 10 games when he was with the 49ers. He kept the machine rolling pretty well. Hardly overrated IMO. If anything, he's unfairly maligned.

 

Always figured Jimmy Johnson would be in by now. He's not coming back and the suckitude of the Cowboys after his teams retired shows he had more to do with the Cowboys success than Jones.

 

Well two of his wins were arguably the two most important NFL games of that era so he probably wins over on quality points.

 

Ummm.... Weeb also won two NFL championships before there was a Super Bowl.

 

Wait … this deserves some thought.

 

The more that I think about it, I don't know if Glanville was every really "rated." He's one of those coaches more famous for his BS like Rex Ryan than for winning. The Elvis thing, the wearing black thing. See also Bum Phillips, Ditka, Rick Neuheisel...

 

Is there a coach who was more successful that gets mentioned less than Seifert? I often forget he existed.

 

Hard to find a coach that won two Super Bowls and won over 60 percent of his playoff games and gets mentioned less. Maybe Tom Flores? I remember the "America's Game" on the 1989 49ers where Siefert looking to get carried off the field and no one's around so he just trots off the field without any fanfare.

Unfortunate for Seifert that he followed Walsh. The sad part is that he doesn't get credit for being a pretty good defensive coordinator with the 49ers during those dynasty years.
