Frank Reich did the same exact thing. Wild!

One half of football against a team of underachievers with a washed up defensive coordinator and a gimmicky offense eh.

Neither one did anything as a player. Kubiak has multiple Superbowl rings as a coach over Reich's one.

I think Singletary coulda been better coach in a different era.  He had too much Buddy Ryan in him for the 21st century though. 

[Bill E. 666]

Mike Tomlin.  He had a good assist on a big tackle .  also Left

Art Shell did whatever Al Davis told him. Got him to the HOF as a player and perennial 9-7 as a coach.
