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.

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

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
