David Steele of the Sporting News ranked every NFL head coach, so we can talk about that stuff. It's a slideshow (because why wouldn't it be), but I'm just linking to the relevant slide here. Lovie Smith, 22nd.
Another question of whether someone is a bad coach, or victim of a bad G.M. -- because they're the same person. Smith bombed as head of personnel in his first year in Tampa, a 2-14 embarrassment. Now he's staking everything on Jameis Winston becoming as mature as he is talented. His Bears coaching years can't be taken away from him, but 2014 put a real dent in his rep.
