where does McV rank among NFL HCs

1. Andy Reid (Chiefs)
Season: 11th with KC, 24th as HC
Career record: 247-138-1 | Playoffs: 22-16 (2-2 in Super Bowls)

The gold standard. Whereas Belichick may own this spot on the all-time leaderboard, Reid is far and away the best at what he does in 2023. He’s not perfect (insert tired joke about clock management). But he and Patrick Mahomes are the modern-day equivalent of what Belichick and Brady were for the Patriots, except with much more explosive creativity. Like his naturally gifted QB, his biggest threat these days is probably boredom. His Chiefs have won at least 11 games in eight of his 10 seasons since he left the Eagles, and somehow the playoff record is even better: five straight AFC title-game appearances, with two Super Bowl trophies in the last four years. Anyone taking Reid or his guys lightly at any point in the season is doomed to suffer the consequences.

2. Kyle Shanahan (49ers)
Season: 7th with SF, 7th as HC
Career record: 52-46 | Playoffs: 6-3 (0-1 in Super Bowls)

Three losing seasons in six years, plus back-to-back NFC Championship losses, proves he’s not a cure-all for his own team. But he’s awfully close to it. Consider that in the last four years alone, San Francisco has reached the conference title game three times; the one time they didn’t, QB Jimmy Garoppolo missed 10 games. When QB injuries struck even harder in 2022, his space-creating designs allowed rookie Brock Purdy’s seamless takeover, plus Christian McCaffrey’s seamless deadline integration. A talented “D” has helped, but again, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone better at single-handedly drawing up such effortless offensive production, which is frankly what matters most in today’s NFL.

3. Bill Belichick (Patriots)
Season: 24th with NE, 29th as HC
Career record: 298-152 | Playoffs: 31-13 (6-3 in Super Bowls)

All-time great? Obviously. Still-respected defensive strategist? No doubt. But for all his stringent and resilient qualities, Belichick has to be held responsible for the 25-26 mark (including playoffs) since Tom Brady’s exit. His curious staffing and personnel choices hurt the Patriots’ offensive growth in 2022, and he’s still betting on a control-the-clock approach with an unproven QB. The reason he’s still this high? To this day, no opponent comes to New England expecting anything less than a Grade-A challenge.

4. Sean McVay (Rams)
Season: 7th with LAR, 7th as HC
Career record: 60-38 | Playoffs: 7-3 (1-1 in Super Bowls)

Recency bias would say he deserves a steep drop after a hapless 5-12 campaign ruined by injuries, and certainly L.A.’s transitioning roster could mean more bumps are on the horizon. But this is still one of the game’s cleanest offensive schemers; his setup enabled Matthew Stafford’s Super Bowl run and previously almost did the same for Jared Goff.
