2012 NFL Head Coaches: Who is the NFC's Best?

If you had to hire an head coach today, which NFC coach would you hire?

Championships. Leadership. Awards. Longevity. Statistical records. Likeability. Talent development.

An NFL head coach can be evaluated with many criteria. Generally, winning championships over a long period of time is the easiest (or not-so-easiest) way to the top of any ranking.

Are Tony Romo and Tom Coughlin Playing for their Jobs on Sunday?

The fallout from the Cowboys and Giants game will be big

The stakes are high enough as it is. In fact, they couldn't be higher during a regular-season game. Rarely are there games where a division title and a playoff berth is on the line and the loser will be eliminated entirely.
