As IF there was ever any doubt !

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- With the league's coaches spending the past two days meeting with the media here at the NFL Meetings, it struck me as a good time to rank the coaches from top to bottom.

It is not an easy thing to do.

There were a lot of tough decisions, but the easiest was picking the top guy. That is New England's Bill Belichick, who is arguably the best ever. Belichick won his fourth Super Bowl in February, joining Pittsburgh's Chuck Noll as the only men to do so. Belichick has been to six, the most of any coach.

Forget the Spygate talk and the Deflate-gate talk, as well as his prickly persona. This is a man who was born to coach and does it as well as anybody in the history of the game.

Belichick is a clear No. 1.

The rest of the list was a battle of sorts. I decided to put the three first-time coaches together at the bottom because it's unfair to judge them without any history. They are Dan Quinn of the Falcons, Todd Bowles of the Jets and Jim Tomsula of the 49ers. That's only fair.
