It's the age old question. What do you consider a "good" coach to be? What about a bad coach?
I hear so many coaches called "great" and "awful" because of their W-L record. Kyle Shanahan is (was) considered the best offensive minds in the NFL, but he was ran out of Cleveland. He went from being thought of as a bad coach to a good coach because of one phenomenal season. That's just one example of the wild inconsistency of this train of thought. So I personally don't buy that wins and losses define how good a coach is.
I think good coaches are guys that:
- Put their players in position with sound schemes that they can understand
- Motivate both coaches and players
- Improve their players in some phase of the game
