There is no doubt that McD is an elite head coach, but where would you rank him among all the coaches in the NFL (2024-25)? Curious.

8.5
Seems fair, has to win a playoff game this year though, I consider anything other than an afc east title and at least one more win a fail
He's 1 of 1.
He doesn't really compare to other head coaches. This should be his breakout season as a coach. He's gotten his feet wet. He's taken his lumps. He knows who he is as a HC right now, he knows his team, it's time for him to take that step.

I am expecting a HUGE leap from Mike this season, especially from a game and clock management standpoint. He just has a few things he needs to clean up but otherwise I view him as a generational 10+ year tenured HC.
I think we’ve found our Erik Spoelstra.

Sorry it was a typo on my part. Should have been 1.5.

Two years not enough? What's the magic number then?

My criteria for ranking would be simply who would I trade him for straight up. Reid, McVey, shanahan, and John Harbaugh. So, #5 IMO, but trending in the right direction.

I would say at least three to allow methods and philosophies and changing the whole team infrastructure to get a proper read

There was a ranking from players/coaches last year who ranked the coaches… he came in at 8/32 which I think, up to this point, is dead on accurate.
After 2 years as a head coach to be that highly rated is a great accomplishment. If he continues to trend up and clean up in-game play calling just a bit he’s an elite top 4/5 coach immediately.
As an aside, he’d probably climb two spots just by firing Danny Crossman. How is that dude still here?

Two years from now, if he's not making the same mistakes over and over he made his first two years, then I'd say elite HC...until then, elite OC, average HC, IMO. I love the hell outta the dude, but you gotta do better against good teams to be called "elite."
