Coaches

Which coach has had the biggest impact on modern sports?

[quillyx]

Gotta go with Phil Jackson, tbh. He made the triangle offense work across two separate dynasties and managed some of the biggest egos in NBA history.

[tyxora]

Phil Jackson is a solid pick, but I'd throw Pep Guardiola in the ring—dude literally changed how football is played at every level.

ngl sir alex built an absolute machine at united fr 😂

For me it’s gotta be John Wooden. The way he blended life lessons with the game laid the blueprint for player development that coaches across all sports still borrow from.

Phil Jackson managing those Lakers egos was unreal, but honestly I think Belichick's system-building changed how every NFL front office operates now

Gotta back the Pep shout, tbh – the high press and positional play he drilled into Barcelona became the default for basically every top club now.

[Fasa2]

Johans philosophy stands high for me

[wickra]

gotta be pep for me, the way everyone from sunday league to the prem tries to play out from the back now is basically his legacy

[Cedarix]

Pep’s influence is crazy, even teams that don’t have the players for it still try to copy that style.

[kovalyn]

Pep basically rewired how the whole sport thinks tbh, you see his fingerprints on everything from kids academies to World Cup winners now.

[Bizzyjnr]

ok

[cedaran19]

Pep's the obvious one, but Phil Jackson's triangle offense and his whole zen master approach with egos changed basketball forever too

[homoxen]

Pep's footprint is undeniable, but I'd toss Nick Saban into the ring too — his process-over-outcome mentality basically became the blueprint for every major program trying to build a dynasty.

[sophyn]

Phil Jackson handling guys like Rodman and Jordan is still wild to think about, that's a whole different kind of coaching genius

[wickzyl6]

Phil Jackson's zen stuff is underrated fr, managing those Bulls personalities was probably harder than any X's and O's

[dacingsalmon]

ngl wooden influence is everywhere even outside basketball fr
