As the "race to get fired" chatter has died down a little (if Gus Bradley isn't fired by now, no one is getting fired before the end of the season)... thought it would worthwhile to look at the other side of the coin. Who is doing the best job leading their team up to this point? My picks... - Jason Garrett. Call me a homer. I don't care. He has a rookie QB, a rookie RB, a defense that has over-achieved in the eyes of many, but most importantly he has the room and he has this team locked into the "one game at a time" mentality that is the mantra of his mentor... Nick Saban. Also has them with the best record in the NFC.
- Jack Del Rio. The Raiders are back and he's a huge reason why. The defense is still a problem and the penalties are going to cost them at some point but they are the second best team in the AFC for a reason. Their offense is good enough to get them deep into the playoffs.
- Andy Reid. Year after year... the dude takes a little here and a little there and cobbles together a team that is competitive every week. Very underrated defense is second toughest in the AFC to score on so far. That December 8 matchup in KC with the Raiders should be a good one.
- Bill Belichick. Has to be recognized if for no other reason the Patriots went 3-1 when Brady was out. Everyone should realize that they are watching a coaching legend right before their eyes. GOAT... and I've seen a few.
- Dan Quinn. Gotta give the guy some props. Few had the Falcons where they are right now. Give plenty of credit to Matt Ryan but this team is absolutely humming offensively.

Cant argue with any of that. I was leaning towards Del Rio but for the penalties...But he does have a good shot if the Raiders finish #2 in the AFC. For Garrett it very well could hinge on Romo... |
