Right and many here felt Winston was a good qb, Bowles did it with Baker, he was a cast off. Regardless, you make my point, both coaches had the same record but one is ranked way above the other. The rankings are not based in logic.
Payton is ranked ahead of Bowles because he has been far more successful. But he’s ranked at 16, which takes into account his last two seasons. When Brees was playing, I think an overwhelming majority of people who have agreed that Payton was a top 5 coach.
I’m not defending the list or the thinking that went into. It’s just somebody’s opinion.
