The Athletic anonymously interviewed 20 players this week at the Pro Bowl and asked them which NFL head coach they'd most like to play for (among other questions).
Only three head coaches received multiple votes.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin got the most votes with four. Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel was second with three votes. Green Bay Packers head coach and former Titans offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur was third with two votes.
Vrabel can be abrasive at times with the media, but it's clear he's a popular coach among players.
The other coaches receiving votes were Bill Belichick, John Harbaugh, Sean Payton, and Andy Reid.
And one more coach received a vote.
Jeff Fisher, the former Titans/Los Angeles Rams coach.
Fisher is currently the head coach of the USFL's Michigan Panthers.
The votes were anonymous, so we don't know for sure who voted for Fisher. But my guess would be Titans offensive lineman Rodger Saffold, who played for Fisher with the Rams.
Saffold once publicly defended Fisher, so it makes some sense.
