SEC football coaching rankings

I’ve an easier time putting Fisher ahead of Orgeron than I do Smart. The amount of talent that man hauls in and subsequently wastes is staggering and not worthy of commendation.

Move Smart below O, Stoops above Harsin. Fisher should stay above O for now. He's had success at 2 schools and has an NC.

Jimbo's record against O is what?

Not sure of the mental gymnastics that one has to perform to rank Kirby ahead of O. O has beaten him head to head twice. O has a NC. Kirby has done less with more than any coach in the country.


I think Jimbo’s ranking is based upon his NC at FSU, his impact on the TAM roster and last year’s performance. He still hasn’t won the west or beaten LSU and Alabama in the same season. For me, he has to at least win the west before you rank him above O. He has made Aggie better and their roster, especially on defense, has tremendously improved.

I hate these types of things. There's so many factors that go into being a head coach. Which factor is weighted more? Championships? Overall wins? Conference wins? Recruiting? In-game strategy? Adaptive schemes? Motivation?

I mean, sometimes a coach with a poor W-L record is actually a very good coach, but may be playing in a killer division with lesser talent. And then injuries come into play, which can skew the win totals.

It's just impossible to blindly rank coaches, unless you provide the different factors and the weighting used.

Ed O is the only one on that list that has beat Nick Saban and did it in T town went 15-0!

We beat 7 ranked teams by an average of 19 pts

Ed O should be #2 on this list due to this remarkable achievement

Kirby Smart #2. This list is a crock of crap.
