One of the longer-tenured coaches in the NFL, the 2022 season might have been Carroll’s most impressive. Allen is in his prime so don’t expect a dropoff anytime soon with or without Stefon Diggs.

Led by Pro Bowler Josh Allen, the Bills have had a top-five offense in each of the last three campaigns. While it took three seasons for the stars to align in Buffalo, the last three for Buffalo and McDermott have been highly successful. Our third Sean in a row, Sean McDermott didn’t have an immediate offensive pedigree to speak of when he was hired by the Bills.


He added another top-10 finish since then and, more importantly, a Super Bowl ring which should solidify his place at the top. He burst on the scene to lead the Rams to the top of the NFL in scoring his first year as a head coach then followed that up by placing second in his sophomore year. No recency bias here as Sean McVay is still considered one of the best offensive minds in the game, despite the disaster that was the 2022 season. So his upcoming pairing with quarterback Russell Wilson will be the ultimate test of whether it was Payton or Brees that was responsible for the Saints’ success. He did have Drew Brees for 14 of those 15 seasons and in the one he didn’t, Payton’s Saints team finished 19th in scoring and just 28th in yardage. His Saints teams were a top-five scoring offense an incredible nine times in 15 seasons. Sean Payton had a prolific career when it came to fantasy points in New Orleans. Between his performance and longevity, Reid is an easy choice. In 14 seasons there, his teams finished in the top 10 of scoring in more than half his time there (eight seasons). Additionally, there’s Reid’s whole other career in Philadelphia. Not only is there the record-setting career of Patrick Mahomes II but keep in mind that Kansas City finished in the top 10 of scoring in two of Reid’s four pre-Mahomes seasons in Kansas City. Reid would probably be at the top of this list just for his tenure in Kansas City.

While it’s easy to measure the best coaches (Super Bowl wins, appearances) and the worst (Nathanial Hackett, hello), the coaches most conducive to scoring points and, in turn, fantasy success can be a little trickier.
