As much as I loved Deron Cherry as a player and certainly believe that he should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, my vote goes to Emmitt Thomas.
Not only was Emmitt Thomas a 5 time Pro Bowler, 2 time first team All Pro, 2 time second team All Pro, 3 time Super Bowl Champ (Chiefs as a player, twice as the DB coach of the Redskins) and to this day, leads the Chiefs in Interceptions with 58, he's a Pro Football Hall of Famer as a player.
Also, without his ties to the Chiefs organization, he may not have joined as a DB coach in 2010, where he's not only coached up one of the best secondaries in all of the NFL the previous seven seasons, he's also helped Eric Berry to become a better player each year (who also looks to have a Hall of Fame trajectory).
Emmitt Thomas and by a wide margin.
