Based on wins he's a bit farther down, but by winning percentage it's

Bellichick 163-61 .728
Carroll 27-21 .562
Berry 48-39 .551
Meyer 18-15 .545
Fairbanks 46-39 .541
Holovak 52-46-9 .528
Parcells 32-32 .500
Erhardt 21-28 .428
Saban 7-12 .368
Mazur 9-21 .300
MacPherson 8-24 .250
Rush 5-16 .238
Bengston 1-4 .200
Rust 1-15 .062

To be fair to Parcells he inherited a truly awful team.

Miscelaneous semi related stuff

Mike Holovak was part of a sporting goods store that was on the corner of the turn into the back parking lot of my High school. Pretty neat place that carried pro level stuff for all four major sports.

Tom Yewcic who played for the Patriots and one game for the Tigers had a son who was in my class in school. And also a fantastic athlete.

And Joe Bellino had a coffee/donut shop about a mile away from school Just over the Arlington/Lexington town line.
