Here is my list of the ten most crafty, cool and fiery head coaches. Oh yeah, and winning helps your rank, too.

10. Jon Gruden: “Chucky,” as he’s known around the league for his hot temper and wild antics. Keyshawn Johnson actually thought he could call Gruden down once, he didn’t make that mistake twice. I thought Gruden was going to kill him, literally. But despite that, Gruden knows how to create high-powered offenses with little talent. Look what he did with the Raiders the year before they won the Super Bowl. Look what he’s doing with the Buccaneers. Making Jeff Garcia look good in what he does, surprisingly.

9. John Fox: Yeah I know, you quite like the Johns, but it was just a coincidence. Next John Madden right? Well, for today’s coaches, John Fox led the Carolina Panthers to the Super Bowl in 2003 and the NFC Championship in 2005. He lost both, but he helped the Panthers get some much-needed recognition. They are not seen as the Houston Texans or the Cleveland Browns, people respect them.

8. Lovie Smith: Hard to respect a football coach named Lovie. But he’s probably dealt with it his whole life and he’s earned some respect. Bears fans love him now because he switched to his team in no time. He had them in the 2005 playoffs and in the 2006 Super Bowl. They lost to an incredible Indianapolis Colts team with a man named Peyton Manning, who has wanted a ring his entire career, but came up short against the Patriots. . Who knows how the Bears will fare this year as they are 5-3 and Kyle Orton will be out for a week or more. Training will make all the difference during this critical second half of the football season.

7. Mike Shanahan: He hasn’t won a Super Bowl in nine years, but he’s still a great coach who leads his team to the playoffs and AFC championships quite often. He’s more of a conservative coach than most, but he got him to where he is today.

6. Jim Zorn: After taking over from Joe Gibbs (those are big shoes to fill) he’s done an admirable job putting together a good team this year. They are likely to find a playoff spot and may be a sleepy pick to win it all this year.

5. Andy Reid: A great coach who has led his team to the Super Bowl but fell short against the New England Patriots. His Eagles have a lot of talent this year, they’re just capitalizing on it. They will be in a battle with the Cowboys for a possible third seed in the NFC playoffs.

4. Tom Coughlin: He won the Super Bowl last year and has fielded an almost better team this year, some say. Hard to believe considering they lost Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora on defense.

3. Bill Belichick: As hard as it is for me to want to put him on this list, I almost did. Considering all of his Super Bowl rings and managing to win without Tom Brady. Belichick is considered one of the bleaker coaches thanks to the Spy Gate controversy. Now we’ll see if he can win a ring without Tom Brady.

2. Tony Dungy: Yeah, they’re 4-4 right now. But they have a great coach who can turn any team around and he won a Super Bowl two years ago. Don’t forget he has one of the best quarterback/wide receiver combinations to play.

1. Jeff Fischer: I’m putting him at number one because he’s undefeated right now and that’s without Vince Young. Kerry Collins is winning games for him! He doesn’t have a superstar team, they just play well as a team. It will be interesting to see if they can go undefeated all year.
