If you really play dive into that list you'll see he's in the running. You'll notice that many people below him in win totals coached less games and have higher winning percentages.
In fact, if you sort the list by winning % with a qualifying minimum amount of games it will remove a number of coaches. Zac's percentage would put him 188 out of 189, right behind Hue Jackson. You wanna know who's last? Bert Bell, who coached from 1936-1941.
So, I won't argue he's the worst coach of all time. That's hard to judge. But for you to say he's not even close? I take exception to that statement.
2.) I would like you to define both "pedigree" and "plenty of experience". Because these descriptions lead me to believe "this guy's got a helluva resume." In reality though? Not so much. He had a couple stops as an assistant QB coach, and an assistant WR coach. He also spent one year at Cincinnati as OC, where the offense ranked 123th out of 128 FBS teams.
C'mon dude. As of right now, Zach Taylor is among the worst head coaches the NFL has ever seen. That may change. I hope it does. But this is true. He also absolutely does not have a pedigree or a level of experience that is worth holding up as some sort of grand accompishment. Because if that's the case, then every single coach in the league has a pedigree and experience.
Wes this is an amazing response. Listen I want Zac to succeed because if he succeeds I won't be looking forward to NCAA basketball by the end of the NCAA football season like I typically am. I mean the last 5 years have been tragic.
However, I completely agree with everything you said above. Bravo!!!
