NFL  > General NFL  > WORST NFL coaches for every team....EVER!

This courtesy of the Bleacher Reporters: (JUST in case you missed it....)

Sean Payton was just dealt the most intense and severe penalty an NFL head coach ever received: a full-year suspension for his complicity in the bounty scandal that has rocked the NFL.

So even though he's resurrected a dormant franchise, won a title, and has made the Saints an annual Super Bowl contender, a ton of the luster has been scrapped off by Roger Goodell.

But that's not enough to make him the "worst" coach in his team's history. There's far worse contenders for the Saints, and every NFL franchise for that matter.

So who are they?

Green Bay Packers: Phil Bengtson

Years: 1968-70

Overall Record: 20-21-1

Best Season: 6-8 (1968)

Worst Season: 8-6 (1969)

An old adage in sports is that you never want to be "the guy who follows the guy." Well, no one had it harder than Bengston, who took over for the retired Vince Lombardi after the Packers won their fifth NFL title of the decade.

So in some ways, nothing Bengston could do???even win another Super Bowl???would be good enough: Critics would say that he simply won with Lombardi's players.

But because Green Bay's teams were average at best???and pretty bad in his final season???Bengston earns this spot.

The fact that the Packers really haven't had a total failure at head coach in decades (Ray Rhodes' single season in Green Bay isn't a fair assessment) also aids Bengston's candidacy. Even Lindy Infante won 10 games in Green Bay.

I was thinking the same thing, but 1 year wasn't what they were driving at. Consistently bad is more of the theme I think.

I don't have that problem. The Packers basically have a 2 headed monster and a boardroom of suits. As you know it's a community team, and we vote for the board members who then recommend, and choose the new head guys. It's nicer I guess than having a jerk like jerry Jones messing things up.

Hey, we were right about chastising this poll anyway. It would appear this guy had also ranked other coaches with 1 year tenures too. So him missing "Scooter" MaC at 1-10-1 makes his argument completely bogus. I have no idea how a so called reporter can miss the coach of the Packers that ushered in the Lombardi era. Seriously, how do you F that one up?

Abe Gibron was no bargain as Chicago Bears head coach.
