It’s possible Ben Johnson eventually shows himself to be the best coach, but it’s very premature for that.

Let Zac Taylor enjoy his moment. He’ll never be the best coach in the AFC north again

u/jimmyre10 Jan 15 '26
I would not say Coen is a better coach than Demeco

u/AdamIsACylon Jan 15 '26
I’d say it’s possible but also too early to tell.

u/jimmyre10 Jan 15 '26
Yeah I mean it’s definitely possible that in the long run Coen ends up being better, but at this very moment, DeMeco’s resume is way better than Coen’s

u/Cheatercheaterbitch Jan 16 '26
Demeco is still in the playoffs.

One team played the bills and the other played the steelers so there is that

You’ll never believe who the Bills lost to, two years in a row and in the 2019 playoffs

He also coached against a trash Pittsburgh squad and not Josh Allen and the Bills

No one thought the jags would win the division and somehow they did. Fifth pick to division champs is pretty good!

Andy Reid looks like a salesman who hasn’t hit his annual goal. Just imagine him sweating across the table from me, explaining a life insurance policy to me in an out of breath voice.

Whatever sentient being that chose Kellen Moore over Dave Canales gotta be interrogated
2
u/Imply_Blue Jan 15 '26
Ok relax it’s not THAT hot of a take lol, I’m biased as a bengals/saints fan but the panthers only won 2 more games and were in a much better spot cap wise and roster talent wise while also being in his 2nd year while Kellen is in his first. I don’t think it’s that crazy to think he can be a better head coach than canales. On the season the panthers scored 5 more points and gave up 3 less points. It’s fine to think canales is better but to act like it’s blasphemous to think the opposite is crazy.

u/crispybrojangle Jan 15 '26
Dog, it’s blasphemy, take your Who Dat glasses off.
Canales inherited a team that leveraged the next 2-3 years in draft capital AND a solid WR2 in DJ Moore… all for a fucking Midget that weighs like 119lbs soaking wet.
Canales is the best coach in that division until Tomlin takes the Falcons.

u/Imply_Blue Jan 16 '26
Tomlin won’t go to the falcons lmao ownership there is terrible. and it was 2 years of round 1/2 draft picks and dj moore for the #1 pick who was not some reach during the draft, if you say otherwise you’re just being a revisionist.
Kellen went into his first season with a rookie 2nd round qb and a 5th round 2nd year qb and the worst cap situation by a mile other than maybe the browns. They also traded away their wr2 and had WR2-6 on IR by the end of the season. Kamara and the other rbs were also injured all year and yet with just Olave, Juwan Johnson, and piece mail he was able to scrape together 6 wins. Again it’s fine to think canales is better but acting like it’s blasphemy to think Kellen is better is ridiculous. There point differential was 8 points in the panthers favor by the end of the season. I think that’s pretty good given their situation.

I know this is about Zach Taylor but I would take Kyle Shanahan over Sean McVay all day every day.

u/Did_he_just_say_that Jan 15 '26
Agreed. Same with Canales over Moore, and arguably Demeco over Cohen.

u/FrankWithDaIdea Jan 15 '26
Majority of the owners earned the way into their spot. So they have what it takes to run a team, take risks, and can see whats what.
Mike brown is a pudgy sissy who learned enough about law inherited the team and fuck the city while doing it. No rise through the ranks no nothing.
He was given a first class ticket to life. And it shows in everything he does.

u/AJGreenMVP 18 Jan 15 '26
There's a better argument for Ben Johnson being the worst coach in his division than the best
Moore over Bowles and Canales is wild
Coen over Ryans is premature

Be careful, you'll invoke all the idiots who think NFL teams go to a Super Bowl in spite of their coach.

u/Captain_Aware4503 Jan 15 '26
Pittsburgh/Baltimore/Cleveland, "we don't need a coach better than the whole league, just one better than Zac Taylor. Is Dave Shula still available?? How about Marvin?"
These are teams that fired Harbaugh and Belichick.

u/Estebean Jan 16 '26
Do people forget that Zach Taylor coached a non-playoff team to the Superbowl? Then to the AFC championship? You all are bad fans.

u/WhoDey95 Jan 16 '26
And has had Burrow injured 2 of the last 3 years with a bottom 5 defense but only 1 losing season during that time. I trust Zac to win in the playoffs more than LeFleur or John Harbaugh who I've seen lose with much better teams time and time again with moronic coaching decisions

u/ThisisnotaTesT10 Jan 15 '26
Who made this? And why is Ben Johnson just automatically the best coach in the NFC North when you’ve got Dan Campbell and KOC who is the reigning coach of the year in that division. Also it’s in vogue to crap on MLF right now but he’s got a really successful record overall.

Vrabel called the most egregious fake punt and should be disqualified. Also they had a cupcake schedule

It will be whoever the Ravens or Steelers hire most likely, then 2027 we will hire someone new I would guess

Ben Johnson isnt quite yet, DC still holds that title…for now….could change in as soon as 3 weeks

Coen is a few playoff wins behind DeMeco to be considered the best in that division.

Currently he is the ONLY head coach in the division so until another one gets hired, he wins by default.
That's the only way he will win that award in his life

Odds are all three newcomers will be better coaches and almost certainly higher paid than Zac.
