Here is my countdown of the top 20 coordinators in the NFL, with a little bonus ranking of the top three head-coaching candidates for the next hiring cycle:
Play NFL Fantasy Football!
20) Kris Richard, defensive coordinator, Seattle Seahawks:
19) Tom Clements, associate head coach/offense, Green Bay Packers:
18) Kyle Shanahan, offensive coordinator, Atlanta Falcons:
17) Pep Hamilton, offensive coordinator, Indianapolis Colts:
16) Dirk Koetter, offensive coordinator, Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
15) Greg Roman, offensive coordinator, Buffalo Bills:
14) Gregg Williams, defensive coordinator, St. Louis Rams:
13) Dennis Thurman, defensive coordinator, Buffalo Bills:
12) Dean Pees, defensive coordinator, Baltimore Ravens:
11) Scott Linehan, offensive coordinator, Dallas Cowboys:
10) Wade Phillips, defensive coordinator, Denver Broncos:
9) Sean McDermott, defensive coordinator, Carolina Panthers:
8) Teryl Austin, defensive coordinator, Detroit Lions:
7) Hue Jackson, offensive coordinator, Cincinnati Bengals: It's a shame Jackson's swagger leads some observers to overlook his offensive ingenuity, but defensive coordinators around the NFL certainly respect the schemes and concepts he brings to the table each week. Jackson persistently challenges the discipline of defenders while putting his top players in position to make plays. Sounds simple, but few can rival Jackson's chess skills.
6) Romeo Crennel, defensive coordinator, Houston Texans:
5) Todd Haley, offensive coordinator, Pittsburgh Steelers:
4) Vic Fangio, defensive coordinator, Chicago Bears:
3) Norv Turner, offensive coordinator, Minnesota Vikings:
2) Rod Marinelli, defensive coordinator, Dallas Cowboys:
1) Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator, New England Patriots:
Top three head-coaching candidates
Who will garner attention in next offseason's hiring cycle? Well, obviously, that'll depend on how things play out in the 2015 campaign. But as of right now, these three guys stand out among current coordinators:
1) Teryl Austin, defensive coordinator, Detroit Lions
2) Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator, New England Patriots
3) Hue Jackson, offensive coordinator, Cincinnati Bengals
