In a poll of 354 current and former NFL players, the Lions head coach ranked 5th (out of 32) in the "best coach" and "would you most want to play for" polls. Players could not vote for their own team.

Gee - I wonder where M-Wig, Ross, Fontes, etc. would have ranked.

Mooch - so glad you are in Detroit!

I don't think that necessarily reflects upon his ability as a coach, rather he is a good guy and players aren't pushed very hard by him. Dungy is similar, I think that he was third in that coach poll.

Crazy how the media just goes with whatever coach is having a good season at the time. Last year Gruden was the best coach. This year it was Belicheck.
