Where does this sentiment come from? The guy is a winner. Where do y'all see bust?


He had two years of P5 experience and four in division one. So what has he won exactly?

In 2018 Kirby Smart had only been a HC for 2 years and hadn’t won a national championship yet. I would have bet that he was a top 5 coach at that point. Having less experience doesn’t automatically make you a worse coach.

Yeah, DeBoer being in the top 10 is a stretch. He has little major college track record and his WA team was a bunch of veterans. He moved at a good time...let's see how WA does this season losing a bunch of starters. BTW, I see a ranking of SEC coaches only by another source. DeBoer was like #4.

Swinney at #2 on Feldman's list is also a joke. Maybe years ago, but Swinney's recruiting has dropped off dramatically including not utilizing the portal at all. Clemson has holes and most teams use the portal to try to plug them...not Swinney.

Leipold, Norvell, and even Whittingham I simply don't see their teams enough to judge. FSU coach Norvell had an amazing year playing in clearly a tier 2 P5 conference. Whittingham seems to have significant injuries every year and still wins at Utah.

Maybe the biggest joke is Ryan Day. Hmmm, 3 losses to Michigan in a row...up there with Alabama and Georgia in recruiting year after year (kudos for that). But exactly how does he do every year playing about 2 tough teams the entire regular season. Oh yeah...overrated on Feldman's list for sure at #5.
