Recommended Posts

Since we have been having  discussion about Heaven and Hell....lets see if you can guess where some NFL teams/coaches etc. fall in terms of reaching Heaven or Hell.   

1. Since  WWII   5 teams have gone winless in an NFL season.   Name these 5 teams.

 

2. Prior to the Browns "inactive period"   what was the worst record the Browns ever suffered (with the understanding that they have had several worse seasons since 1999)?

 

3. What 2 Head coaches  have the worst all time record in history? 

 

4. Name the only teams in Pro football history that went undefeated and untied...including playoffs.

 

5. Which 3 head coaches have the all time best winning percentages in their careers?

 

6. Name the 2 Head coaches that have lost the most playoff games without ever having won one.

 

7. Four (4)  active head coaches have won 10 or more playoff games.   Name them.

 

8. What active head coach has the best postseason won loss percentage?

 

9. What team has the best all time W-L percentage including both regular and postseason?

 

10. What team has the worst all time W-L percentage including both regular and postseason?

 

Bonus:  Two teams  are in NFL "Purgatory" in that in their entire histories including regular and postseason....they are each only one game off from being .500. 

Name these two teams:   hint:  they do not include any of the post mid 1990s expansion teams.

Bert Bell is not only the losingest coach in NFL history....he was  a fucking loser in other aspects of his life. He was also the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles....AND.....at the very same time, he was the Commissioner of the NFL.  

Recall that it was Bell as Commish and owner of the Eagles who proclaimed that after the merger of the 3 teams from the AAFC into the NFL that his team would wipe the floor with the Cleveland Browns.  Of course, we know that the opposite happened.  In the Browns first game in the NFL they played the Eagles who had been the defending NFL champions (fortunately for them they had a different coach by this time).   Browns 35-10.  Browns go to win the NFL Championship in their first year in the league.  ...and 5th in a row.   Bell, out of bitterness, resentment, and jealousy then declares that none of the records from the AAFC will be included with the NFL records, claiming something lame like "we can't verify that we have all of the original stat sheets from all AAFC games".  It was a pile of horseshit of course and just a way to attempt to delegitimize the Browns stellar accomplishments merely because the Browns had wiped his team asses when they played.

the losingest coaches are Hue Jackson and Frank Kush...

Perhaps I should have qualified this.....worst record with at least having coached 40 games:

From NBC Sports:

If you are what your record says you are, Hue Jackson is the second-worst coach in NFL history.

The Browns’ loss today drops Jackson to 11-44-1 as an NFL head coach: 8-8 in Oakland and 3-36-1 in Cleveland. That’s a winning percentage of .205.

How bad is that? There have been 219 coaches in NFL history who coached at least 40 games in their career. Jackson ranks 218th in career winning percentage.

The only coach who was worse was Bert Bell, who led the Eagles to a record of 10-46-2 (.179) from 1936 to 1941. And Bell couldn’t be fired because he was also the owner of the Eagles.

Kush was 11-28-1 as an NFL HC.  He had exactly 40 games.  Lots of people have had worse:  He was at .288

Bill Peterson  1-18

Rod Rust  1-15

David Shula  1952  .268

Gus Bradley...recently HC of the Jags:  19-52  .268

Dick LeBeau...as a HC was only  at .267  win pct.

Marty Morningwheg:   .156   

Steve Spagnuolo  .212

etc.
