First name that comes to mind is Mike Ditka. He wasn't necessarily great long-term but he did get a Super Bowl ring and coached one of the best teams in history.

Thought provoking question though. I feel like I'm missing somebody.

I always hear some old timers talk about how good Jim Zorn was with the Seahawks. He wasn’t a very good HC though.

in the NBA and college hoops, I’m starting to see more of the guys I know about and grew up watching that were good get head coaching jobs — Steve Nash, Kidd, Stack, Juwon Howard, etc 

in the NFL the best guy I probably saw who is now a HC would have to be Mike Vrabel. I did see Kingsbury play against Rivers at NCSU in person but Kingsbury is probably dead man walking as a head coach.

Took me a few minutes but I figured out who I was forgetting:...

Tony Dungy. He also has a Super Bowl ring and was pretty good for a while.

Pederson played too but his career is going in the wrong direction.

Yeah I think Dungy was a safety. But this goes back to my point to the other guy who said McCown sucks and doesn’t deserve to be a coach - when most coaches were sucky players. Did Belicheck even play college football?

Not that I know of.

And yeah, as far as guys that were successful as both players and coaches, it's probably Ditka.

Vrabel is looking like he'll get there. And there's an argument to be made for Jim Harbaugh, I suppose.

He played college ball.  Wesleyan.  Offense.  Which you would have kinda assume it would have been defense given his coaching career.

Does Curly Lambeau count? It was a long time ago

Art Shell probably has best resume as a player who went on to become a NFL coach.  HOFer as a player.

Shell's a great example too. 

Pretty sure he and Ditka each made the Hall of Fame for their resumès both on the field and the sidelines.

      It is Quiet...Too Quiet: Thanks Dilworth Neighborhood Grille?

      We all remember 2023, when the Teppers were making the Pro Day rounds.  Then last year, the owner of this restaurant, blocks from Bank of America stadium, sent a message that was received by the Panthers' owner. 😡😠🤬 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/panthers-owner-david-tepper-makes-news-once-again-on-day-1-of-nfl-draft Why would an owner of a restaurant put up a sign of this nature?  Flashback to the Tepper Pro Day tour.  Brace yourselves: THE PRO DAY CIRCUIT,  2023  "THE HORROR." That is Nicole Tepper, all up in the prospect evaluation process with some motherly love and awkward post-hug expressions.  I was like, "What is she doing there?" Here is the lovely owner of the Panthers on the front row among scouts and our head coach at Ohio State's pro day in 2023. MODERN DAY:  APRIL 2025 So, have David and Nicole realized that ownership in the NFL does not make you an evaluator of talent?   Will their egos allow them to let others do their jobs?  Or should we brace ourselves to see their thrones moved to the war room on April 24, preparing for their draft day interventions?  Have they been on the pro day circuit?  Have we tarnished his desktop brass balls?  Did the bartender hurt his feelings?  Did he get the message?  Just because we don't see them, it does not mean they are not there--lurking in the shadows--hugging people and talking to coaches.  Texting stuff. "Dan, take who you want, but that Offensive Guard from Guilford is my third cousin twice removed."   We need to be diligent.  Stay focused.  Keep them away from the brain trust.  Seriously, did they get the message?  What have you heard?  Are we safe? Recently, GM Dan Morgan was asked if the Teppers were involved in the private workouts at BOA.  Morgan refused to answer, but he did stare at the reporter for 43 seconds.  This photo shows Morgan being asked about the Teppers' involvement during a recent presser: According to inside sources, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, made famous by Morgan during his playing days, was recently seen being delivered to Morgan's office shortly after meeting with the Teppers, a meeting that included a power point featuring the Teppers' top 50 prospect list.  Please post any Tepper-related news here.  Hoping there is not any.

      TJ Watt is stirring up social media with throwin up a ✌️. Sounds like he either wants out or knows he is out.  So. question is, if the Steelers come calling and offer 21 and TJ Watt for 8, are you biting?
