WOW. Just wow. According to this there are perhaps two worthy college coaches in the country. For the record, Saban has 1 NC, Meyer has two (and for the record, inherited good talent), Miles has one, Stoops has 1 and 3 other NC appearances and Brown has 1. These men have coached the teams that have been the elite programs for the last 8-10 years.
My guess is that you would rate Bear Bryant as average because he only won SEC Championships in 13 of his 25 seasons.
Okay, one last question...sorry...
If Miles is such a great and respected talent in the coaching ranks, why is he never mentioned (aside from Michigan) for other coaching positions in college or the NFL?

Well, for the record, other than Saban, none of these guys are ever mentioned for other jobs often, with the exception of N.D. (Meyer's self confessed dream job). Let's take a look:
Brown --- not connected to other jobs. Quite clear that he is going to retire at UT, having already named a successor.
Miles --- connected briefly to the UW job last year. It made no sense and was likely false. Other than UM, there are very few colleges that can afford him. They'd have to pony up almost $4 mil.
Carroll --- never connected to another college job, past as NFL coach gets him mentioned there and has gotten him interviews in the past.
Saban --- debacles at LSU-Miami and Miami-Ala have him connected with every job, even H.S. jobs. Seriously, no true connections to college jobs since he took the UA job. He is mentioned in connection with ND but that is probably because of his past and what ND can pay and not yet reflective of his interest.
Meyer --- Connected with N.D., his self-confessed dream job, no mentions for NFL or other college jobs. Probably never will be mentioned for the NFL after the Spurrier mess in Washington.
Stoops --- for some reason he is mentioned for other jobs the most --- Dallas Cowboys a few years back, N.D. and a few others --- may have something to do with the small media market in Norman. Otherwise, with his salary and success it makes no sense.
Other coaches of note with no recent mentions for other jobs
Joe Paterno --- no mentions in 20+ years
Bobby Bowden --- no mentions in 20+ years
Jim Tressel --- none I can remember since OU
Bill Belichek --- maybe that call last week cost him new jobs
Does that mean that these men (at least, in their prime, as to Bowden) couldn't coach?
