## Resource

This week on NFC West Mixtape, Rob and I rank the head coaches in the division and it turned into one of the toughest debates we’ve had in a while. We both agree the NFC West has an incredibly tight three-headed race at the top, but that didn’t stop our actual lists from looking VERY different. In this episode, we break down the cases for each coach, debate resume versus projection, and try to sort out one of the hardest ranking exercises in the division right now.
