Hleb.Alex Posted 4 hours ago #1 Posted 4 hours ago Which coach has had the biggest impact on modern sports?
quillyx Posted 3 hours ago #2 Posted 3 hours ago 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 Posted 3 hours ago #3 Posted 3 hours ago 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.
geekygo Posted 2 hours ago #4 Posted 2 hours ago ngl sir alex built an absolute machine at united fr 😂
nyxwyn52 Posted 2 hours ago #5 Posted 2 hours ago 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.
Vorlyn Posted 1 hour ago #6 Posted 1 hour ago Phil Jackson managing those Lakers egos was unreal, but honestly I think Belichick's system-building changed how every NFL front office operates now
morthver Posted 1 hour ago #8 Posted 1 hour ago 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.
wickra Posted 57 minutes ago #10 Posted 57 minutes ago 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 Posted 50 minutes ago #11 Posted 50 minutes ago Pep’s influence is crazy, even teams that don’t have the players for it still try to copy that style.
kovalyn Posted 48 minutes ago #12 Posted 48 minutes ago Pep basically rewired how the whole sport thinks tbh, you see his fingerprints on everything from kids academies to World Cup winners now.
cedaran19 Posted 9 minutes ago #14 Posted 9 minutes ago Pep's the obvious one, but Phil Jackson's triangle offense and his whole zen master approach with egos changed basketball forever too
homoxen Posted 4 minutes ago #15 Posted 4 minutes ago 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.
