I hate ESPN's constant quest to see how things stack up "all time".

Wow! Can't believe they put Miles in the same class as the other 14.

Someone forgot to include Frank Leahy and John McKay on this list. I would put them in over Les Miles and, yes, even Steve Spurrier.

I like to vote in these and put totally ridiculous shite just to throw off the poll. For instance, Miles is first in my poll and bear is last.

It is so obvious that Bammers are voting in that poll. Bryant has so many more first place votes, which means they still think Bryant > Saban. I disagree though.

I really do think that Saban is the greatest college football coach of all time. Bryant cheated like crazy, and was able to take advantage of the lack of scholarship rules. Saban is winning in the best conference in the country without too much trouble.

You do know that every single coach who was around back then played by the same rules Bryant did, don't you?

I have no respect for Switzer. That guy's legacy has been completely tainted.

It's hard to take that poll seriously when it has Les Miles as one of the choices in the poll but not Barry Switzer.
