Rich Brooks before Stoops. He had to repair the mess left by Mumme and Morris. Joker just tore it down quickly.

I don't understand your rationale. If you can't include Gundy because of Jimmy having them at average level, who can you include whose coached at a program with any kind success before them. Oklahoma state for the majority of their time has been auto wins for people. Even with Les they were just average. Gundy has took them to consistent Big XII title contenders. Something previously thought impossible.

Don't get me wrong, while I didn't like the Brooks hire at first, he did inherit a mess. I think though that the Stoops hire will have a longer term impact on UK's fortunes.

I do not consider oSu a title contender annually.
They're still second fiddle to OU. NU leaving helped,
Just my opinion.

Was Washington good before Don James?

Big XII title contender. 1st or 2nd three of the past four years (3rd being their worst finish), and lost two conference deciding games in the bedlum game. And it is not like Nebraska was lighting the world on fire in their final years in the conference or even prior.

I think the firing of Solich was the most consequential firings in college football. We saw the trend move towards the spread afterwords. I think Urban running option out the spread also shifted the landscape of college football.

Didn't think Mumme was a bad coach. Actually he is one of the great innovators of college football. He was just dirty.

Mumme was in way over his head moving from Div. II to the SEC and it showed.

Calm down, Grandpa. Christ.
Holtz came in and cleaned up Gerry Foust's mess.
Oklahoma was a mess for a decade until Stoops showed up.
Tennessee hadn't been national championship relevant for a loooonnnng time until Fulmer.
Maybe if you paid attention instead of acting like a know it all prick you would have known what this thread was about.

It kinda seems like what Bo is doing now, Solich was fired for.

Hayden Fry - Iowa
Pre-Fry Iowa had Kansas like run for nearly 20 years. With Hayden Fry Iowa was one of the best programs in the Big Ten in the 80s

National Championship in 1960 and a couple of Rose Bowl wins under Jim Owens. The program was in about a 10 year rut before James took over in the 1975 season though. James definitely took Washington to the next level though and made them consistently great.

Majors turned Tennessee around, not Fulmer.

Maybe Urban at Utah. He started them up and they turned the momentum they gained into two BCS bowl wins and a major conference invite.
While there is no arguing your post in terms of elevating Utah, Ron McBride's 12 yr tenure just prior had started Utah's rebuild, won two conference crowns, and won some bowl games vs heavyweights. If the LSU job ever came open in next five years, I would hope Kyle Whittingham would make the top 5 to 7 considerations.
My nominee that hasn't been listed yet, Don James at U Dub, in 17 yrs at helm, 153–57–2 Overall & 98–37–2 in PAC, with six 1st place finishes, and one natty title. His Wash teams played with a physical nature and nastiness belying his Massillon roots, FSU, Mich, and Kent tenures. His teams exploited often more talented yet finesse Pac-10 teams with brute determination.
