Any NFL HC Mt. Rushmore without Emperor Chaz Noll is fuctarded. 4-0 in Super Bowls. The team morphed from running game / strong D carrying the load in the 1st 2 SBs to Bradshaw airing it out to win the last 2 SBs. He took a moribund franchise that hadn’t been in the playoffs since 1947 to a dynasty, 4 titles in 6 years. Completely rebuilt the team through the draft by taking players that fit his culture, vision, and system. 1974 1st 4 players drafted all made the HOF. Most coaches are lucky to draft 1 HOF player in their career and he had 4 in one fucking draft! @RaceBannon Steelers made the playoffs 4 times under Noll in the 80s, 82-84 and 89. Made the AFCCG with Mark Malone and 89 playoffs with Bubby Brister, 2 ass QBs.
Joe Gibbs over Noll? GTFOH with that shit. Gibbs got pink socked by the Raiders in SB XVIII 38-9. 4-0 > 3-1. Noll’s schemes and players changed the NFL. Mel Blount was so fucking dominant they made a rule to mitigate his physicality. Mel Blount is the DB Sean Taylor wishes he could have been @creepycoug YKIFR
I’ll end with this. The 76 Steelers team was the best of their dynasty and that season ended in an AFCCG loss to the Raiders. TB got hurt in game 6 that season and they were 1-5. Defense said we got this and gave up 28 points during a 9 game win streak. Read that again…28 fucking points over 9 games. 5 shutouts including 3 in a row, and only surrendered 1 TD over 9 games. That’s a fucking prison rape defense
I don't think anyone is knocking Noll, 4-0 is badass, but knocking Belichick for Brady can't happen without knocking Noll for having Bradshaw, Harris, Swann, Stallworth, Lambert, Webster, Blount, Greene and Ham. 5 Dudes on the NFL all-time 100 team.
Gibbs had the following hall of famers on his teams: John Riggins (2 SBs, 1-1), Art Monk (4 SBs, 3-1), Russ Grimm (4 SBs, 3-1), and Darrell Green (2 SBs, 2-0). No one is putting any of those HOFer on any first team all time team. Green is the only player Gibbs coached on the NFL all-time 100 team.
Gibbs winning % of .621, Noll of .566. Gibbs 17-7 in playoffs, Noll 16-8. Noll made the playoffs and got to 1 AFC CG with rando QBs. Gibbs never had anything but rando QBs and he made them superstars at their peak. And advanced metrics say the 91 Redskins come in as the best team of the SB era.
Gibbs is the only coach at this level who is not tied to an all-time QB or a bunch of other HOFers. (Parcells is the closest in that regard, but he did have L.T)
The NFL all-time 100 coaches during the SB era are: Belichick, Paul Brown (Bengals version but really made the list due to coaching the Browns before the SB), Landry, Gibbs, Lombardi, Noll, Shula and Walsh. Lombardi, Noll and Gibbs are the only ones without an all-time 100 QB, and obviously Bart Starr and Terry Bradshaw are HOFers. None for Gibbs.
Disparage Gibbs if you want but the case that he's the actual GOAT coach can be made.
