The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms with Frank Reich on a contract making him their new head coach, and he arrives in the NFC South with the best winning percentage of all of his competition. Reich’s run with the Indianapolis Colts ended with a 3-5-1 record before his midseason dismissal, but he’s gone 40-33-1 in five years as a head coach, and his win percentage (.547) is higher than every other coach in the division.
There’s an argument that he’s already the best head coach in the NFC South. Here’s how Reich stacks up against New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen and the other coaches around the division:
1
Frank Reich, Carolina Panthers (.547)
Record: 40-33-1
2
Arthur Smith, Atlanta Falcons (.412)
Record: 14-20
3
Todd Bowles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (.405)
Record: 34-50
4
Dennis Allen, New Orleans Saints (.283)
