Who are the college basketball equivalent to these college football coaches?
Posted on 3/22/15 at 12:59 pm

Nick Saban: Angry, joyless, but considered the best team and coach and the business
Urban Meyer: The mercenary, wins everywhere he goes, often with players of questionable character
Les Miles: The flake, is not respected as a good coach but his teams are always in the hunt
Mark Richt: Always has talented teams but they never win it all
Jimbo Fisher: Wins but wins ugly, people don't like his players, people active root for them to lose (like the Rose Bowl)
Kevin Sumlin: Exciting team, fun to watch, can't play defense, always costs them in the end
Gus Malzahn: Up and coming coach whose teams always seems to find a way to win in the most improbable ways possible
Dan Mullen: Wins with a team that historically doesn't win, why the Hell is he still there?
Bobby Petrino: Zero character, probably an a-hole, but teams keep hiring him because he wins
Steve Spurrier: Living legend whose best days are behind him but he's fun to watch
Bob Stoops: Won it all that one time but since them his team is a punch line in the postseason
Feel free to add others.

Barnes is so terrible. Absolutely no reason for UT to underachieve the way they do
Posted on 3/22/15 at 1:09 pm to Bags of Milk
The Izzo Cal and Barnes comps are dead on IMO
Posted on 3/22/15 at 1:10 pm to Baloo
Well I'm going to have to vehemently disagree with bill self to les miles comparison if we are going by the descriptions given in the OP

I'm going more over a guy who is constantly disrespected despite his mammoth success. Self fits that bill.
Posted on 3/22/15 at 1:12 pm to rockchlkjayhku11
I can't really think of an accurate comparison to Self. He's such a likable guy who has a ton of respect as a coach from fans and analysts.
I dunno, maybe I'm underratimg how disrespected Self is. I've always thought he was up there with the very best and most people felt the same way

Self would have been my Miles too. I've heard people call him a flake too.
I'd probably make Huggins my Petrino.

Bill Self. Kansas has had way too many early tourney exits surrounding the 2008 and 2012 runs.

Where have you heard that? I would follow self to South America and drink his punch if he wanted me to
Not sure many LSU fans feel that way about miles

I'll give it a crack.
Nick Saban- Rick Pitino (Great recruiter and game day coach, rebuilt several teams into national powers, much better coach in college than the pros)
Urban Meyer- Billy Donovan
Les Miles- Roy Williams (Great recruiter, average gameday coach, results are inconsistent and have dropped off recently, always seem to have a dominant team every three or four years)
Mark Richt- Rick Barnes (Wins a lot of games but can't get over the hump, just doesn't seem to have the "it" factor)
Jimbo Fisher- Thad Matta
Kevin Sumlin- Dave Rose
Gus Malzahn- Sean Miller
Dan Mullen- Jamie Dixon
Bobby Petrino- Bob Huggins
Steve Spurrier- Hard to think of one right now
Bob Stoops- Bill Self

Man, I don't think of Huggins like Petrino at all. Huggins would lay down and die for his kids. He's an a-hole, but his kids f'n love the man. They are a big us against the world kinda team. Petrino would sell out his players in a second.
Both are assholes, though.
