ESPN Coaches Approval Ratings

ESPN offers one of my favorite polls every year and this one runs during the NFL season. Approval ratings for head coaches. The highest rated head coach? Jim Zorn at 94%.

Also rating over 90% approval rating: John Fox, Jeff Fisher, Tony Sparano, John Harbaugh, and Tom Coughlin.

Bringing up the rear was Marvin Lewis of Cincinnati at 13%. Under 20% are also Herm Edwards, Brad Childress, Rod Marinelli and Norv Turner.

Looking at the results, and the 15% approval rating for Norv Turner, makes me wonder how long he'll be employed. After several failed stints as a head coach, Turner miraculously landed the job in San Diego where he was given one of the most talented rosters in the NFL.

Coaches who will likely be polishing their resumes this offseason: Marinelli, Edwards, Turner, Lewis, and Wade Phillips (43%).
