The best NFL coach of all time died tonight. Only coach to win 4 Lombardi trophies, going 4-0. Turned a laughingstock of a franchise in to the best dynasty the league has ever seen. The mind behind the greatest draft in NFL history(1974, featuring 4 hall of famers).

Bow your heads for Chuck Noll.

Or don't, whatever, it's just football.
He also invented steroids. Becoming the single driving force behind the Steelers dynasty of the 70s.

Srsly though. RIP coach Noll

He is also responsible for Terry Bradshaw being on TV, so fuck that guy!

Not really, rip.

I dunno, the Bill Walsh tree gave us Denny Green's press conference meltdown. That's gotta be worth a ring or two.

Then again, it also left us with Gruden on MNF. Thats gotta be one or two in the minus column.

Is 4 more than 3? I think 4 is more than 3. Any mathematicians here that can help us clear this up? Is 4 more than 3?
Everybody knows Seifert's win as a rookie was Walsh's. Walsh just couldn't get along with DeBartolo. He also drafted the greatest QB of all-time, the greatest WR (and arguably player) of all-time, and one of the greatest safeties of all-time.

Oh...oh wow 3 all time greats in a single career? Just imagine if he did 4 in a single draft, that would be something eh? Along with 5 more would be just ridiculous!

4 rings > 3 rings

9 HoFers > 5 HoFers

Chuck Noll > Bill Walsh.

Better coach, better GM, better talent evaluator, more handsome, softer hands....this took a turn.

Facts.

I won't go with best ever, still think Lombardi holds that title, but he is certainly right next to him.

Look at the overall impact Walsh has had on the game of football versus Noll. The majority of the teams in the NFL run some variation of the west coast offense.

I will agree with you that Bill Walsh is definitely the greatest head coach of all-time, but Noll would probably be his defensive coordinator if we were building a "greatest coaching staff imaginable".
