I'll keep it in this thread, but don't you think, with just a little bit better coaching, we win games vs. Balt., KC and Cinci? Or at least 2 out of 3 of them?

No... YOU are trying to over simplify things. YOU were the one that added that Reid had beaten Tomlin head-to-head last week... as if that "one" win was somehow significant. YOU didn't say anything else; the post that YOU made (the one in contention) merely focused on that one win.
Okay, Reid beat Tomlin in one game. So what?
If you're trying to imply that that one win is significant, then see Norv Turner beating Jimmy Johnson twice in the same season.
If you're agreeing that is was merely "one" win, then we're in agreement.
One game can indeed be significant when determining playoff seeding.
One game does not have much significance when comparing head coaches.

I loved him at Univ. of San Diego and at Stanford. Loved him.
But... he wasn't as whiny back then. And, I wasn't a player under him.
Reading through this thread - I think that we all sometimes overestimate the impact of coaching.
Coaching isn't going to have Scooby Do make those kicks.
Coaching didn't hurt the star QBs knee.
Coaching didn't shred ligaments in the RB that your entire offense runs through.
I mean at least 2 losses this season have very little to do with coaching.
I didn't elaborate, but head-to-head is _A_ factor in determining who the better coach is, which should be considered with OTHER data in totality. I honestly think Reid is a better coach than Shades of Cool.

I thought coaching botched the Ravens' game. We had that. The last play that they failed to convert on 4th down was a dumb call.
The only reason this thread has any relevance or a hint of truth to it, is that coaching around the league currently sucks. I don't propose Tomlin is any good. Just the rest of the pack is equally or more worthless. I mean back in the day when you had Noll and Knox, Shula, and Landry, and Madden, and Bum Phillips etc... Before them you had giants like Paul Brown, George Allen, Weeb Eubank, and of course the greatest of them all Lombardi.
But now it's pretty much the cheatah in Bahstan and everyone else. No one distinguishes themselves anymore. Just a bunch of robotic clowns who trot out an endless stream of cliches. .
The only thing that makes Tomlin tolerable is everyone else sucks as bad or worse.
