And Mangini at least made it to the playoffs, so he's accomplished more than McCarthy as well. But it's pretty darn even. And coaching is more like a marathon than a sprint, so we're a ways from seeing which of these coaches is the best. I wouldn't rule ANY of those seven coaches out at this point.  One thing that sticks in my mind about Payton is that he is supposedly a very tough coach to play for. His players hated his training camp last year, but were of course very happy about how the season turned out. Sometimes these really tough coaches have short-term success but have a harder and harder time keeping their players motivated as years go by. I call it the Coughlin factor.</blockquote>
