1. Tom Coughlin

The most notable name on this list is former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. His track record MORE than speaks for itself, serving 12 seasons in control of one of the NFL’s most storied franchises.

He had  held some form of coaching capacity in the NFL since 1984, minus a two-year stretch where he returned to college to be the head coach at Boston College. But no coach on this list will bring the tools that Coughlin is capable of bringing to the table.

Seven of those 12 years he spent in New York resulted in winning seasons. He recorded two Super Bowl victories, one in 2007 and the last in 2011. He never finished lower than third place in any of those seasons, achieving at least six wins in each year. His coaching style and history makes him one of the most respected head coaches in NFL history.

In terms of success, Coughlin would seem like the ultimate choice of available coaches in the NFL. Ian Rappaport of NFL Network noted that the Jacksonville Jaguars were interested in bringing him back to the organization as head coach. The only question is that at 70 years old, how interested he would be in putting the headset back on and leading another team.
