Most Disliked NFC East Coach Since 1980

[ECU-ALUM]

Ryan ran his mouth WAY too much. The image of him running off the field after the 1991 Playoff loss to the Skins...PRICELESS!

one of the few times I have ever rooted for the Redskins - but against Buddy Ryan, there was really no question who to root for, or I guess, root against.

That man has found more creative ways to lose a game than anyone in the history of football (and that includes people who play "Madden")....and yet he still keeps getting offers to be Head Coach...very strange.

norv is a great OC, terrible HC.

so basically gets a HC job (redskins) because of his OCing (dallas), washout as a HC (twice in this story after going to OAK) and then return to OCing (SF) until he gets called up to HC again (SD, and DAL was in the running) where he'll tank again (how much longer are the chargers going to put up with him?) and he'll get another OC job and excel and then get HC looks again.

it's a sick cycle because teams just don't get that some guys are no more than coordinators.

I voted for Parcells, although I respected him and still do. He seemed to be the only one who could compete with and beat Gibbs consistently back in the day. Ryan was just a flaming *******. An F5 tornado would not have messed up Jimmy Johnson's hair, which I found incredibly annoying even back then. Spurrier was a disgrace as an NFL coach.

Kudos,cant stand Rob or REx.

Easily Buddy Ryan. He's the gift that keeps on giving.

[Mr. Nostril]

I voted Parcells. He coached both the giants and the cowboys, and he was our rival back when we were good. He's also the guy on the list who I think is a great coach. Dislike is always more extreme when the guy you dislike is actually very good at what he does. Buddy Ryan's offenses were far more egregious than Parcell's, but the fact that Ryan wasn't a very good coach tempers the hatred, he got what he deserved. Parcells is beat us (sometimes) because he was legitimately on the short list for greatest coaches of all time. And that stings more. I'm too young to have any feelings about Landry, so it's Parcells.

Buddy Ryan by far... people forget how much of a dirty, ignorant, miserable, spiteful "bastage" that man was...

What is a bastage?

My vote is for Jimmy Johnson. Was going to go with Parcells, because he coached the next best team in the NFC East in the 80s when we were the best, and he's generally just a douche. But he, and Buddy Ryan, were true football coaches. Johnson was a superficial, collegiate pretty boy who never grew up from his frat boy days and when he came into the NFL, he lucked into coaching a team that acquired 3 of the best players (Aikman, Smith, Irvin) to ever play their respective positions. And I never enjoyed all his talk about Miami. Yeah, we know you coached there, and that you make your home there, and that you have a hard-on for the place (with a little help from his Extenz capsules). And then there's his stupid hair, plastered in place with gel or hair spray or whatever (maybe some of Ben Stiller's mousse from There's Something About Mary).

One guy I really respected was Tom Landry. As much as I learned to despise the Cowboys, I'll always remember how classy he was, what a high character man he was, and how he seemed to be an elder statesman among all NFL coaches.

1. bastage - *******. Originally used in the 1984 movie Johnny Dangerously. This PG flick introduced bastage, fargin', and icehole as PG terms for similar sounding words.

You fargin' bastages!

Steve.Spurrier.

Hated everything about that dude. Everything. Tried to turn a beloved franchise into an extension of the Florida Gators (at least that's what it felt like). Lots and lots of bad memories there.

[allannis]

Wouldn't this be better served over the ATN?

Oh, Steve '5 and 11, aint' too good now' Spurier is mine. HATED the clown, and still shudder BIG at the mere mention of his name.

Hail.

I agree with this, I hated to even see his name on the list, I'd like to just forget him........

In general? Probably Ryan or Parcells. Most hated by their own 'fans'? Probably Andy Reid - I have to wonder about Philly fans.

Nothing surprises me about Philly fans. They gained nation wide fame on Dec 20, 1968 when they booed Santa and pelted him with snowballs.
