[QUOTE="TJV, post: 627277, member: 4300"] Yes, best ever – even as I try to be as objective as I can be I think the evidence backs that up. He resurrected the “Siberia of the NFL” in one season, lost his first championship game the next year and vowed never to lose in the playoffs again. Of course he didn’t and the result was 5 titles in 7 years. But that’s pretty well known. Here’s something you may not know that indicates to me what a great coach he was. As a young man in his mid-20s he was hired as a teacher and assistant football coach at St. Cecelia High School, his alma mater. Their basketball coach had left so he was offered that job as well. It was his first head coaching job but he had never played or coached basketball. As the story goes, he went to the library and checked out every book he could find on the subject. In his six years as coach, his winning percentage in basketball at the high school was about 65% and he led the team to a state championship. IMO Lombardi was a master psychologist and that was his greatest attribute as HC. You can see it in the comments of his former players - even his earliest ones. I think it was Suh who called Sitton the toughest player he's had to go against. While Suh is IMO a crappy human being, he is one hellofa football player. BTW, why do you keep bringing up the Mod Squad? [ATTACH=full]13318[/ATTACH] Oh wait... it's the Mo[B]b[/B] Squad. ;) [/QUOTE]
