    Actually, it was topped....and by some notable names. All of the following Hall of Fame players had higher average team finishes as HCs in the NFL:

    Jim Thorpe

    Pete Henry

    Fritz Pollard

    Ernie Nevers

    Bob Waterfield

    All over 6.0 average finishes. Of course, a lot of that was in the days when there were no divisions/conferences, or if there were there were 8-10 teams in each division.

    Now, of course a team can never finish lower than 4th.

    And how about some of these beauties:

    Coonie Checkaye 18.0

    Carl Storck 13.6

    Jack Fish 11.0

    Hank Gilla 11.0

    Al Cornsweet 8.0

    Brick Muller 6.0

    I guess Rosie is just the least productive coach in the Super Bowl era.

    I have checked on that....and you are absolutely correct. No one who coached post 1965 has a worse average.

    But then....one of the 4 guys with a "perfect record" 1.0, was fired after his "perfect season"....Hue Jackson, coach of the Raiders in 2011....tied for the division crown with 2 other teams with an 8-8 record....but was canned after one year.
