31. Greg Schiano, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Harsh, I know. But Schiano has never coached at the NFL level. Making his gig harder was the struggle to assemble a staff. Rookie head coaches need a quality cabinet, and Schiano had to mix and match in order to get a decent group to turn around a 4-12 ballclub. Good luck.

He shouldn't even be listed yet since he hasn't coached a game but I guess if you had to put him somewhere might as well be the bottom.

Who cares where they rank a coach who hasn't even gotten a draft in yet? This is just BS filler for NFL.com.

[Tampa-Two]

*sigh*

Is it the 26th yet?

[lyronmewis]

Schiano has coached at the NFL level (DB coach/defensive assistant for Chicago). He got a great upcomer in Mike Sullivan to run the offense. He's attracted big free agents like VJ and Nicks. It's a terrible rating.

[jerseybucsfan]

It's nonsensical. It's based on what? No preseason, no draft, ZERO real games. How can you rate something that doesn't exist? He could be No. 1 ... or No. 32. They should simply have a no-rating category.

[dexmonkey]

why would he be any higher? he hasnt coached a down yet. what do you want

[Dutch]

That's a fair ranking.

Not sure based on track record Vitt would be lower than Rutgers. Rutgers NFL achievments are pretty much 0. Vitt has more skins on the wall than that.

[CyberDilemma]

The necessity for his ability to coach is inversely related to the quality of players/team he can assemble.

Rah was ranked 9th last year and we see where that got us.  Just throw darts at a board (blind-folded) and you can make a ranking list just as good as this one.

"And here is some bull**CENSORED** we wrote because we have nothing to report on for another 2 weeks."

[pewtersurf]

Harsh is Vitt being last, Schiano should have been last or better yet absent from the list.

Theres probably 3 variables to this list, How many championships has the coach won, Where did his team end up last year, How big of a name is he with the fans..  Yay, I have a new article, now what should I write about next week?  Top 10 mascots? Top 10 QB's or better yet top 10 QB's OF ALL TIME!  Oh a good one, which stadiums have the best hotdogs. What team has the hottest cheerleaders anyone?

[UMiamiBucFan]

Yeah, I would have put him at #32 at this point. I know we're all liking what Schiano has done thus far, but he's undoubtedly the biggest question mark for an NFL HC. He may look brilliant in a few years, but he hasn't coached in this league in 14 years and that was at a much lower level.
