Many coaching professionals dream and aspire to be a NFL head coach at some point in their career.

The dream for many is considered a gift by bringing coaches fame, wealth, and legendary status within the league.

More often than not, the dream becomes a nightmare as coaches learn that careers are easily destroyed by entrenched management, limited personal, and ineffective playbooks.

Many coaching careers are discounted by a few unlucky seasons and deserve proper recognition for solid accomplishments*.

Come along and see who made the list.
