2020 NFL power rankings: Who’s the best coach in the league?
9. Sean McVay (Los Angeles Rams)
Is the bloom off the rose a bit when it comes to Sean McVay? His first two seasons with the Los Angeles Rams saw him elevate the club to consecutive NFC West titles and a Super Bowl appearance in 2018. The club got off to a 3-0 start this past year but came unglued for numerous reasons. A revamped roster will test McVay in a big way.
8. Ron Rivera (Washington Redskins)
Ironically, his final game as head coach of the Carolina Panthers was a heartbreaking loss to the Redskins in Charlotte. Now he’s at the controls of Daniel Snyder’s team and hopes to restore this franchise back to prominence. Ron Rivera did lead his former team to four playoff appearances in five years from 20-13-17.
7. Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Despite the fact that he’s never finished the season under the .500 mark, the Steelers’ sideline leader since 2007 has his share of critics and understandably so considering how the last two seasons have gone. There’s a lot of pressure on Mike Tomlin this year as the team has never missed the playoffs three straight years under his watch.
