NFL Coach Approval Ratings - Week 6

View Week: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

This NFL season, we're giving you, SportsNation, the opportunity to cast your vote of approval, or disapproval, of the job your favorite team's head coach is doing. Is he molding a winning team and inspiring championship-level play from his team? Or is he constantly tinkering with the offense and defense resulting in sloppy, erratic play? Is he making good decisions on the field and saying all the right things off the field? Or is he making crucial mistakes that cost the team games and then deflecting the blame?

The following are the latest results from the 2008 SportsNation NFL Head Coach Approval Ratings:

NFL Coach Approval Ratings - Week 6
Mike Smith	94% Team: Atlanta Falcons Record: 4-2 Votes: 1,284 Falcons 22, Bears 20 OldWingsFan3222: Great game by Ryan, but why did it take us three and a half quarters to adjust to the slant? Great, now I gotta cheer for the Seahawks. hawksdogsbraves: Face it Bears fans, the better team won today. Vote
Jeff Fisher	92% Team: Tennessee Titans Record: 5-0 Votes: 684 Bye week for Titans! Vote
Tony Sparano	91% Team: Miami Dolphins Record: 2-3 Votes: 1,558 Recap available Sunday! Vote
Dick Jauron	91% Team: Buffalo Bills Record: 4-1 Votes: 507 Bye week for Bills! Vote
Mike Tomlin	91% Team: Pittsburgh Steelers Record: 4-1 Votes: 928 Bye week for Steelers! Vote
Ken Whisenhunt	90% Team: Arizona Cardinals Record: 4-2 Votes: 616 Cardinals 30, Cowboys 24 alexf0107: I wouldn't say the Cardinals did that good. I mean, they gave up a lot of big plays. But if you eliminate a couple of Dallas' big plays, Arizona wins by a lot jrewers01: I gotta hand it to the Cards today. They outplayed the Cowboys pretty much all day. Vote
Tom Coughlin	90% Team: New York Giants Record: 4-1 Votes: 759 Recap available Tuesday morning! Vote
Tony Dungy	88% Team: Indianapolis Colts Record: 3-2 Votes: 490 Colts 31, Ravens 3 TheSportsofLife: This is a statement game for Indy. The Titans haven't won the division yet, and the Colts will be breathing down their necks. tutty28: I see the Colts showed up and the Ravens didn't. It happens. Vote
Sean Payton	88% Team: New Orleans Saints Record: 3-3 Votes: 477 Saints 34, Raiders 3 myNOSknows: Brees is currently the best NFL QB, and he doesn't need any more consistency, he already has that. He could throw accurate passes to everybody in this conversation room and as long as we made the catches, he would get completions. dgriffith25: Reggie Bush! Get your hand off your Staples "Easy Button" and give my Raiders a break. Vote
Jon Gruden	82% Team: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Record: 4-2 Votes: 431 Recap available Sunday! Vote
Jim Zorn	82% Team: Washington Redskins Record: 4-2 Votes: 696 Rams 19, Redskins 17 sljoyce93: Hey guys, remember last week when everyone thought the Redskins were one of the best teams in football? bmwg339: Stop acting like the Rams played well. The Skins handed the game to them on a silver platter. They will move on from it. Vote
Jack Del Rio	81% Team: Jacksonville Jaguars Record: 3-3 Votes: 336 Jaguars 24, Broncos 17 FBNinja: Good win for the Jags. They needed that, and without the Titans the AFC South looks great this week. bleech89: Congratulations, Jaguar fans! These guys are winning with spit and baling wire holding'em together, but they're winning. Vote
Eric Mangini	81% Team: New York Jets Record: 3-2 Votes: 493 Jets 26, Bengals 14 YankeesJets2375: Favre's last pick meant nothing. He doesn't concern himself with stats: he throws the ball, and hopes his guys catch it. The last pick was a deflection anyway. firedude105069: Farve is up to his old tricks. He is a very good QB but he is will never be a great QB because of all the INTs he throws, especially in key situations. Vote
Jim Haslett	79% Team: St. Louis Rams Record: 1-4 Votes: 416 Rams 19, Redskins 17 ByronKennedy: Rams did not win this game, Redskins gave it to them....no worries, everyone has a bad game. Three turnovers is hard to overcome...even against a bad team. elchancho: What an awesome showing by our offense. Taking a page out of Ohio State's offensive book. Score no offensive touchdowns and still win. Vote
Mike McCarthy	67% Team: Green Bay Packers Record: 3-3 Votes: 706 Packers 27, Seahawks 17 redmon23: Great win for the Packers today. Just wish they could do this on a consistent basis and against better defenses! GoPackGo3004: All in all, Rodgers has 11 TDs and 4 INTs on the season--not as bad as some people are making him out to be. Vote
Mike Shanahan	66% Team: Denver Broncos Record: 4-2 Votes: 426 Jaguars 24, Broncos 17 Caple15: Im a die-hard Denver fan and I'm not worried about this game at all. The NFL sees how good the Broncos are when they have everyone playing unlike today. Paterade: Jacksonville is never a good matchup for Denver because they have huge players. Vote
John Harbaugh	56% Team: Baltimore Ravens Record: 2-3 Votes: 210 Colts 31, Ravens 3 TerpFa186: I try and stay loyal to my team and always watch, but I think I'm throwing the towel in today. angiehaube: I know Flacco's a rookie, but you gotta see the field better than this! He was much better at it earlier in the season. Never even saw Todd Heap WIDE OPEN when he threw the last pick! I say Flacco sits in the second half, as well as all those fools on the defense that allowed a 39-yd run by trying to throw a shoulder instead of full-on tackling...you know...with ARMS! Vote
Gary Kubiak	56% Team: Houston Texans Record: 1-4 Votes: 257 Recap available Sunday! Vote
Norv Turner	56% Team: San Diego Chargers Record: 3-3 Votes: 672 Recap available Monday morning! Vote
John Fox	55% Team: Carolina Panthers Record: 4-2 Votes: 342 Recap available Sunday! Vote
Lovie Smith	52% Team: Chicago Bears Record: 3-3 Votes: 1,555 Falcons 22, Bears 20 alud21: Lovie Smith needs to be fired. Their Tampa Cover 2 doesn't work. SereneSnake: Lovie is the worst at making time management decisions. He got scared when Norwood returned that last kick so instead of deep kicking it and trusting your ST to keep him from breaking another one, we get a horrible squib kick. Vote
Andy Reid	46% Team: Philadelphia Eagles Record: 3-3 Votes: 629 Eagles 40, 49ers 26 DUFFMAN4061: The Eagles are the better team. They should have won by more. Vote
Bill Belichick	44% Team: New England Patriots Record: 3-2 Votes: 1,655 Recap available Monday morning! Vote
Mike Nolan	37% Team: San Francisco 49ers Record: 2-4 Votes: 1,594 Eagles 40, 49ers 26 bootyfulbabyboy: Nolan and Martz had horrible play calling in the 4th quarter. Completely went away from Gore. It seems like every time a team comes back against the 'Niners or even get a small lead, Martz and Nolan panic or just feel they have to hurry up with passing plays to get back in the game. zombieco: This was a sad day for 'Niners fans. Where the are Montana or Young when you need them? Vote
Rod Marinelli	34% Team: Detroit Lions Record: 0-5 Votes: 942 Vikings 12, Lions 10 Phil_barry: Hard for the Lions to beat the officials and the Vikings. Two horrible calls in the fourth quarter (Johnson did not fumble that ball, and it should have been a 15 yard helmet to helmet penalty anyhow) and what a phantom PI call. jeyshot: That pass interference call - and the fumble call earlier - were inexcusable. Vote
Mike Holmgren	21% Team: Seattle Seahawks Record: 1-4 Votes: 1,272 Packers 27, Seahawks 17 gopackgo1979: Hey Seattle, you guys need to go to free agency and pick up the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th man because your 12th man isn't any good. woofers02: The Hawks have way too much talent to be 1-4 right now. Injuries have played a major role, but there is no excuse what so ever for the D. Vote
Tom Cable	20% Team: Oakland Raiders Record: 1-4 Votes: 468 Saints 34, Raiders 3 hogfan40: Oakland's whole offense seems like they are waiting on JaMarcus to get better. If Oakland wants to win now they have to adjust now. Oakland shouldn't get away from the run unless they have to. lucassm: Raider nation equation: Al Davis + new coach = same results. Vote
Romeo Crennel	19% Team: Cleveland Browns Record: 2-3 Votes: 460 Recap available Tuesday morning! Vote
Wade Phillips	18% Team: Dallas Cowboys Record: 4-2 Votes: 1,676 Cardinals 30, Cowboys 24 eightman2303: As long as Wade Phillips and his staff remain in Dallas--this team will always be a team that "should have". Jerry Jones is so enamored with himself and power that he can't bring himself to have a staff that actually knows how to coach a team. Wade Phillips should run a nice concession stand somewhere. Dallas will finish 10-6 this season and could miss the playoffs. NYGiants107212: The Cowboys have NO defense and they have not looked great in any game they played this season. The Cowboys are just all media hype. There are at least 5 teams better than them in the NFL. The Cowboys ALWAYS get all the calls and they still barely win games or in this case lose them. Vote
Herm Edwards	18% Team: Kansas City Chiefs Record: 1-4 Votes: 498 Bye week for Chiefs! Vote
Marvin Lewis	12% Team: Cincinnati Bengals Record: 0-6 Votes: 609 Jets 26, Bengals 14 NorthcuttFantasy: This is just nuts: the Bengals compete vs. everyone but cannot finish it off. I am not one to make excuses, but I swear if Palmer was healthy we would be at least 3-3. YankeesJets2375: What are the Bengals saving their timeouts for? Vote
Brad Childress	8% Team: Minnesota Vikings Record: 3-3 Votes: 3,403 Vikings 12, Lions 10 GPayton830: A loss because of terrible calls...enjoy your undeserved win Vikings fans, your team is worse than the 0-6 one with no defense. KCMac929: Another special teams meltdown could get Childress canned. Vote
