    Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo mocks Tony Romo's praise for Ravens' John Harbaugh

    Safe to say Chris "Mad Dog" Russo doesn't rank Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh too highly among all-time coaches.

    On ESPN's "First Take," the famed radio personality and sports analyst ruthlessly mocked CBS's Tony Romo for calling Harbaugh a top-10 coach this past weekend.

    "Harbaugh must have took him out for dinner on Friday night," Russo said.

    Russo proceeded to rattle off a list of accomplished NFL coaches, as the rest of the "First Take" guests laughed. Russo then questioned Romo's understanding of football history.

    "At Northern Illinois, did [Romo] read a football book?!" Russo said

    Russo continued: "I mean how in the hell can you go on TV and ruin my Sunday afternoon! ... I could not believe it!

    Russo's theatrics aside, he is likely right that Harbaugh does not fall into the top 10 coaches of all-time.

    However, that doesn't negate Harbaugh's impressive resumé. He is on Year 17 with the Ravens — far more than most coaches ever see with one team. Harbaugh is fourth among active coaches in wins and 19th all-time. And, of course, Harbaugh has a Super Bowl, which vaunts coaches into an elite tier.

    Harbaugh probably doesn't have a strong argument to the top 10 now. But if the Ravens win the AFC this year and make the Super Bowl, as they hope to do, Harbaugh may start climbing the rankings pretty quickly.

    I guess Rizzo thinks Belichek was a good coach. He was. a losing coach in Cleveland and New England until he was forced to play Brady when Bledsoe got hurt. Brady was in the bench. He was a. losing coach to Brady started
