Posnanski ranks NFL coaches by playing career

Our own Jim Caldwell comes in at #13 (which tells you a lot about how few head coaches were successful players)

13. Jim Caldwell (Indianapolis): He was a four-year starter as a defensive back at Iowa, which is not quite as impressive as it sounds. Iowa was struggling quite a bit then. The Hawkeyes went 0-11 in one of those seasons. But teammates say he was a good player.
