Well I was posting it more as a laugh. But considering there are supposedly 3 advanced metric sites that have him in 6 or better, I was wondering what some of the posters into that kind of advanced stats stuff might have to say about it, because it's baffling to me.
Rankings are a function of the criteria you deem important to being a good coach. This is what happens when you mistakenly fetishize a metric or two or six that aren't as important as you think they are.
I think ranking coaches is near impossible on any sample size less than several seasons, and even then it’s pretty subjective for the most part. Some guys might be so awful that it’s obvious, but even great coaches don’t make decisions that are immediately obviously “great.” I’m more a baseball guy than football, so I’m not anywhere close to an expert on advanced football metrics, but I don’t even see how it’s possible to have advanced metrics regarding coaches, other than decisions about going for it vs punting and going for two vs kicking an extra point
Bengals preseason "power ranking:" 32
Now they're on their way to 6-4 and a game out of 1st in the North

Ja’maar Chase is awesome, and seems to score touchdowns every week. So I looked up the rookie record for TD receptions. And holy shit, I didn’t realize Moss had 17. Chase has a solid chance for second most ever, though
I too am partial to this metric.
For real, though, it really seems like team success is the best measure of a good head coach. Unless theyre truly awful, it’s hard to know over the course of a few games. Also, I was gonna use Freddie kitchens as the example of a truly awful coach, and saw hue Jackson was 3-36-1 in his time with Cleveland. Ouch
Dallas defense really having a solid game. 19 points allowed in 9 possessions (not counting the kneeldown at the end of the half), plus two turnovers.
Their offense has one drive over 25 yards. Brutal.

Jesus, ESTABLISH THE RUN take swoops in
They’ve run the ball inefficiently, but by all means bang your head against the wall.

He is the worst. Him and Kelce, I despise both with a passion that I am amazed by.
I don't think it's a particularly good metric, too much of winning SBs is about roster, which is a GM issue. The best is probably something like wins over expected, but parsing where you get your expected wins from is tough.
Pollard had a 31 yard run, they’re otherwise logging at 14 carries for 47 yards.
I was mostly kidding about saying I liked the Super Bowls measurement. But yea, I don’t think it’s even possible to measure how many wins a team should win with an average head coach. I think you can tell who’s a good coach and who isn’t over the course of a few seasons, but picking between any two good coaches and saying one is better than the other is pretty futile for the most part.
Add in that it's about the cowboys and it because flabbergasted, disappointed Aikman. Really wonderful.
Birthday boy at 55 today. I looked up Steve Young, kind of a peer HOF QB, and he's 60. The time do fly.
Announcer in Seahawks-Cardinals just said you can’t faceguard. It pisses me off how many people still think this is a rule
Cowboys have had like 5 instances of renewed hope already in this game.
Until they can score a TD who cares. And even if they score, odds are that the Chiefs will kill most of the remaining clock.

He's making sure the KC fans don't leave Arrowhead early. Beyond that, not sure about his goals.
