Bill Walsh, Tom Landry, and Bill Parcells, were all pretty decent coaches with pretty decent coaching trees.
 
I'm not overwhelmed by those lists - especially the closest fruit to the tree. Parcells looks like the best of the bunch. Walsh was a college head coach as well and none of his college guys made that list - Denny Green and Ty

Why would you be? There are only a few College National Title winners and a number of SuperBowl winners in there, nothing impressive about that. The premise that great coaches fail to spawn great coaches is wrong. The truth is some do, some don't. A lot of it depends on their management style. IMO, universally applying a contrarian theory to the value of their assistants makes no sense.
 
Belicheck was directly under Parcells for two decades.

Then end of his career Sean Payton was. That's four Super Bowl titles right there.
 
I pointed out that Parcels had the best of that bunch.

None of whom beat Stanford or Oregon.

So that's two. Sounds like a nice exception to my rule
 
Anyone seen the Pete Carroll coaching tree lately? Not looking good, I do see some green shoots however
