We can all be pleased with the Colts #3 ranking, and pretty much everyone agrees that Indy has a tremendous group of coaches. What’s really great in this piece is the list of worst coaching staffs in the NFL. A couple of notes on the bottom three teams: 31. Jville<\/span> Jholes<\/span>-I LOVE IT! Mad Jack and his motley<\/span> crew come in 31st in the NFL! Jack Del Rio is a horrible coach. He really is. If you watch much Jags football, and God help me, I do, you know that he just has no idea what is going on out there. The Jags had a much higher Pythagorean<\/span> win total (expected wins derived from PF and PA) than real wins. That means they underperformed<\/span> (0-2 agains<\/span> Houston for example). Last year the Jags were 2-7 in games decided by a TD or less. They were 6-1 in blowouts. That means that when the Jags showed up, their talent was overpowering. If you got them in a dog fight, however, Del Rio’s<\/span> team would fold. Coaching matters most in tight games. Del Rio’s<\/span> teams can’t win them.<\/p>\n 32. NY Giants-Everyone loves to kill Eli (two playoff appearances<\/span> in 3 years is pretty freaking good from a young QB), but has anyone noticed that the coaching in New York is horrible?<\/p>\n Also checkout this article from a fellow blogger that did a comparison of expected wins before the season vs. actual wins. Good news: The Colts are among the most consistent teams in the league<\/p>\n Bad news: We mentioned a few weeks ago that the Colts expected wins this year is around 10.<\/p>\n Good news: This same guy came up with a ranking of coaches to see who generates the most ‘extra wins’ above expectations. #1 on the list…Tony Dungy<\/span>, who generates about 1.73 extra wins. This means that with any luck, the Colts should be back around 11 or 12 wins again. I think we would all take that right now, given the injuries and the schedule. We can all be pleased with the Colts #3 ranking, and pretty much everyone agrees that Indy has a tremendous…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[703639887],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n

30. San Diego Chargers-and there you have it. This is why I’m not worried about them this year. Schottenheimer<\/span> was a proven winner (at least in the regular season). Norv<\/span> Turner is a proven loser in all seasons. I’m not buying the hype on this team. Talented teams with bad coaches tend to implode<\/span>.<\/p>\n
