190-48 overall record at Oklahoma.
1 national championship
10 Big 12 championships
4 BCS National Championship Game appearances
1 College Football Playoff appearance
7 Top 5 finishes
10 Top 10 finishes

Those are some pretty damn good stats. But there are many who believe he's on par with Mark Richt as a head coach, with the competition (or lack thereof) he faces being the reason for his success more so than his quality coaching. What say you guys? Is he at least a candidate for the list of Top 10 greatest coaches?

He should have at least one more title. The 2003 and 2008 teams were both the best in the country who played terrible in the title games.

He's second best at his own school. I'd put him in the top 10-15 of all time

It will soon be 17 years since his only national title. With a team that was made up of mostly John Blake's players.

He's good but he clearly doesn't have the magic he once had

The same ranking Bill Self has in college basketball.

Top 15. Conference championships are impressive but watered down because of the big 12 being weak. Where he gains respect is in top 10 and top 5 finishes and Championship game appearances.

He has more Big 12 titles than home losses. That's damn impressive regardless.

He's a notch about Les Miles.
