You enjoy your opinion.  I'll take Rivera 1000x over Reid.

He's overrated and is like John Fox.  Never gonna get you to the promiseland.  Rivera will.  Watch and see.

Don't reply cause I am not going to read it.

Simple articles which tell the truth.

Reaching the playoffs with Alex Smith as your QB is an accomplishment all on its own, and more impressive than any Rivera has done.

I wouldn't put him above 16. Without back to back winning seasons I don't know how you can rate him that high even with a SB appearance.

Rankings get tiresome...but yea, he's a better coach than Ariens, and I would certainly put Ron right at 10 or so.

All I'm saying is Arians has a 69% winning percentage as a HC, Ron has a 56%.  I'm not saying Arians is way better and it isn't even close, I'd put them in the same tier.  But I do think Arians is a better HC.  Head to head is one thing, winning % is another. I'd rather be better against the NFL than against one specific coach. 

Looking blindly at one stat is silly. A team's winning percantage reflects a lot more than the HC.

You're right, I don't ever look at one stat blindly (oxymoron?) but team wins is something I only attribute to the HC, not QB or other positions like a lot of people do.  I mostly brought up winning percentage because the two coaches head to head record was brought up a couple times which is even more asinine to try to make an argument from than winning percentage.  There are other factors that make me give the edge to Arians as well, such as courage and the fact I've never heard him throw his players under the bus, but winning percentage is the least subjective most black and white evidence I could think of.  All those wins and he's never had QBs on either side of the ball remotely close to as good as ours (Cam and Luke).
