Not even close to Top 10. Everyone all the way back to 19 is a better coach than Miles.

Patterson is top 5, maybe top 3. He does a lot with not much.

Saban is probably the best college football corch of all time tbo.

1. Les
2. Saban
3+ Who cares?

Why Les #1? Both coached here and Les has done better.

#2 reason why Les > Saban? Because for as 'great' as Saban is suppose to be, Les' teams either beat him or take him to the wire almost every time ( OT, last few minutes of the game, etc ). When you have refs in your pocket and paid players and STILL have your hands full, the other coach is better than you are. Fact.

I think both of these are way too high. Theit teams end up being nothing but hype.

Not giving a who ton of thought to it:

1. Saban
2. Meyer. I really hate this guy
3. Gus Malzahn. I have him so high based of the thinking that if Miles left, who would I want to take over (other than Saban)
4. Les. What has a bob stoops or a Spurrier done over the past ten years better than Miles?
5. Jimbo Fisher
*these next two I'm sure are the two I'd get hated on for.
6. Hugh Freeze. Awesome recruiter, built up a program fast, two things I really like in a coach. I think he will have Ole miss in the playoffs soon. That's hard to do at Ole miss.
7. Kevin Sumlin. Hard to even justify this one. And it's based on what I think he can do, and that's win a NC. Plus the recruiting and apparantly the best qb coach in the country.
8. Bill Snyder
9. Kirk Ferentz. I don't think anybody has done more with less than him. He has more 3 star recruits in the nfl than anybody. I think. Which is a stat I like.
10. Gary Patterson
11. Bob stoops. Ugh. I don't even want to place him this high. He is like the anti-kirk Ferentz. He does less with more than anybody in the country.
12. Gundy. Chicken talked me in to this one. He has an underrated track record at a school that is hard to have a good track record.
13. The ol ball coach.
14. Dantono. Most overpaid coach in cfb IMO. David shaw is over paid for sure, but I think he turns Texas around.
15. Dan Mullen

Have at it

Shouldn't post info as dumb as this. If stupid was a crime, that author would be in prison for a long time. Spurrier should be around 20 and Malzahn around 3 or 4. A #3 needs to win his conference in the past decade or so. What has spurrier done at South Carolina?

List isnt terrible.

Curious to see if any schools get desperate enough to take on Petrino and his baggage.

Bob Stoops at 4,is puzzling to me. 10 years ago I would have agreed, but not now. The same thing goes for Frank Beamer.

Dabo Swinney deserves a seat at the table. He's beaten Meyer, Spurrier, Miles, Richt, Beamer, Petrino and waiting on Stoops in the bowl. He did more in 4 years than Tommy Bowden.....never did. The talent in the NFL now is the only reason I watch the league.
