They have their own leagues for a reason. Get those female "sports" coaches off your list.

Adolph Rupp
Tom Landry
Chuck Noll

Joe Gibbs. Never really gets much mention, but he won three titles with three different QB's. Skins haven't done squat since he left. In his first 12 seasons the Skins had 10 winning records, 1 .500 record, and 1 losing(7-9) record. He had a 16-5 playoff record. He also did this when the Niners, Bears, and Giants were stacked. Since he left after 92 the Skins have made the playoffs 5 times in those 25 years. 2 of those times was when Gibbs came back from 05-07. He had a winning record 2 of those three seasons. Very underrated great coach.

Did he have the best player ever or did he have a player he pushed to the greatness of best ever?

Yeah, I have no idea how Bobby Cox made the list but Joe Torre didn't.

I'll take Torre over Cox all day.
Bobby Cox had a very good eye for talent and was very
good at managing people not so much when it came to managing games.

Since we are talking managers, I would have to include JJ Dillion, Paul Ellering, Skandar Akbar, Jim Cornette, and Bobby Heenan.

Nope,saw him win a NL west title with the same Braves teamthat Bobby Cox got to 5th place the year before.He also had a worse winning % in 1990 than the fired Mgr (Russ
Nixon)
As for the Cardinals and Mets,it doesn't matter how good a baseball strategist you are if you don't have talent to compete.

He wasn't good with the Mets, break even manager with the Cards, but his first year with the Braves (he replaced Bobby Cox) he won the division and won Manager of Year.

Pop Warner?
Predating Bear Bryant, Eddie Robinson, and Joe Paterno, he once had the most wins of any coach in college football history.
4 National Titles at Pittsburgh and Stanford and multiple innovations.
To take advantage of the Indians' versatility Warner drew up a new offense ... "the Carlisle formation," but later it would be known as the single wing. It was predicated on one small move: Warner shifted a halfback out wide, to outflank the opposing tackle, forming something that looked like a wing. It opened up a world of possibilities. The Indians could line up as if to punt – and then throw. No one would know whether they were going to run, pass or kick. For added measure Warner taught his quarterbacks to sprint out a few yards to their left or their right, buying more time to throw.
After he retired, he joined the staff at San Jose State as an advisor, Warner was immediately put in charge of the offense. According to Powers, "DeGroot had been using a single back offense but Pop immediately changed to the double wing, much to the doubts of San Jose players. However, the formation began to click and San Jose not only enjoyed an undefeated season but was the highest scoring team in the nation." That year the San Jose State Spartans played against College of the Pacific, coached by Amos Alonzo Stagg. It was the first time the two coaches had met since 1907, when Warner was coaching Carlisle and defeated Stagg's University of Chicago 18–4. Warner and DeGroot's San Jose State defeated Stagg's Pacific Tigers, 39–0
Andrew Kerr, who was an assistant to Warner at Pittsburgh and Stanford, said he considered Warner "the greatest creative genius in American football." Morris Bishop, a Cornell professor of history, wrote that Warner "caused more rule changes than all the other coaches combined."
Warner invented the single and double wing formations, the three-point stance, and the modern body block technique.
He introduced several plays, such as the trap run, the bootleg, the naked reverse, and the screen pass. He was among the first to use the huddle, to number plays, and to teach the spiral pass and spiral punt.
He improved shoulder and thigh pads;and was the first to utilize adjustable fiber, rather than cotton.
He also had his own helmet color-coding: red for backs and white for ends

Scotty Bowman is the greatest professional head coach in any sport.
Google him if you don’t know who he is.
Words like ‘genius’ and ‘legend’ don’t even begin to describe his coaching ability.
For amateur sports, I’d go with Wooden or The Bear for the best-ever.
