NFC coach ratings for job security. Again, just my ratings by divisions on what coaches are facing in 2003.
Ratings are 1-5
1-As secure as it gets
2-No real worries
3- Owner: “Did we pick the right guy�
4- The playoffs might-just might- save your job
5-Break out the resume
NFC East
Andy Reid (PHL)- In one of the “golden eras†for a coach. Built this team as a model to give other franchises hope. Rating-1
Jim Fassel (NYG)- The seat is always as hot as August for Fassel. Another playoff debacle, or worse, no playoff spot at all, and its over for Fassel. In a New York Minute. Rating-3.5
Steve Spurrier (WAS)- Working for Snyder puts any coach on shaky ground. Surely even King Danny I isn’t foolish enough not to give Spurrier a 4-5 year run. If not, the only coach he will get will be Tony Damatto. Rating- a shaky 2
Bill Parcells (DAL)- The Tuna can do no wrong this season. Expectations are always high for Parcells, so many a-player will change before he is done. Rating-1
NFC North
Mike Sherman (GB)- Having the stigma of being the only Packers coach to lose a playoff game is the only tarnish that Sherman has on a shinny coaching stint. Rating- 1.5
Dick Jauron (CHI)-16 road games, 4 victories. Has a Cane vs. Able relationship with the GM. Nothing short of a Super Bowl victory will fix this situation. Rating-5
Mike Tice (MIN)- Win Ratio replaces the Randy Ratio. Has this season to put Humpty Dumpty back together again or his tenure will get the Viking Funeral Treatment. Rating- 4
Steve Mariucci (DET)- He will outlast the GM, thats for sure. Rating-1
NFC South
Jon Gruden (TB)- 1 season. 1 Super Bowl victory. Nothing else needs to be said. Rating-1
Dan Reeves (ATL)-How much does Reeves have left? With Vicks rocket climbing, Reeves can stay as long as the Falcons continue to go deeper into the playoffs. A deep drop could start a replay of Elway/Reeves. Rating-3
Jon Fox (CAR)- Has the defense, now has to take the next step in the win department. Improvement will solidify his spot (naturally). Rating-1.5
Jim Haslett (NO)-The talent level that the Saints have is worth more then 9 wins. They Beat Tampa....twice. Has to do more with this team. Rating- 3.5
NFC West
Mike Holmgren (SEA)- Last chance to stay among the elite ranked coaches. No playoffs, and the head Seahawk gets his wings clipped. Green Bay probably looks real good right about now. Rating-4.5
Dennis Erickson (SF)- 44-36 or 31-33. That should tell you all about the security factor here. As long as Walsh is in the shadows watching, lease, don’t buy. Rating-3
Mike Martz (STL)- Martz needs to start taking control. Fast. Another 7 win year will make it hard to not say the Super Bowl victory was indeed all Dick Vermeil. Rating-3
Dave McGinnis (ARZ)- A tough job just go alot tougher. The players just won’t stay playing for the Cards. Regardless, if a big name coach becomes available, then McGinnis is done. Rating-5
