[Hook'em Horns]

Many factors come into play when looking at a list like this. A combination of adaptability, skill set, strategy and popularity are factors that I used to choose my top ten and this is my order from top to bottom...

Please note that there are many great coaches across the country but style of play is a huge factor in determining the skill set of a coach. Strategy is so important and that is a key element that varies based on style of play. So if you are not on my list, it is not because I don't consider you a great coach it is because I consider these coaches the top 10 that could be successfull under any style.

1.) Vince Peatros - I've never seen him play but the very sound of his name seems to make people quiver. They all say the same things..."The greatest Coach ever and he knows it"!

2.) Adrian Baxter - Plays everywhere and wins everywhere. Has the cerebral ability to plau under any rules set foreign or otherwise and win! Great reputation of character and ability to adapt to change. Wins in the most hostile of enviroments.

3.) Norbert Revels - If he knew the rules all over the country as well as he knows his league rules, he would be at the top of this list and no one would be able to knock him down.

4.) Reginald Rutledge - He is who he is therefore, "it is what it is"!

5.) Don Smith - I haven't seen him play but he's on most people's top 10 list and here nothing but great things on this coach. I'd like to see him come out of retirement and win playing the many formats that are around now.

6.) Tom Johnson - The best coach that not very many people know about. This guy is flying waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy under the radar. Great Coach!

7.) D.C. Smith - Same boat as I am, the EFL world needs to see him win in other styles of play

8.) Big Keith Chalmers - I've seen him play everywhere and he always seem to end up in some league or tournament's championship game. He's just a winner!

9.) Greg Hardmon - His name says it all...Greg is hard man! Awesome coach. If he traveled Kornheisser and Wilbon would have a field day debating him and Adrian.

10.) Don Hudson - The most accurate passer in the entire country. No one knows of this DFW superstar but under other formats he'd shine like a star. Hopefully he'll get out and spread his wings.
