Urban is kind of Overrated. When he was in the SEC he coached in the East and dominated when it was down for 6 years. He had multiple losses to Auburn and Bama including a beat down from Mike Shula.

He never went undefeated against the West. 2009 he did win all 3 gamed against the West,but was blown out against Alabama in the SECG.

He was only 3-3 vs Les miles and LSU. He had losses to Ole Miss and Missippi St. Every team in the West except Arkansas beat his Florida teams. He had more losses to the SEC West schools than SEC East schools despite playing way less games against the West.

For reference Saban has went 8 years without losing to an SEC East team. Urban lost to a team from the West all 6 years he was in the SEC and lost multiple games to the West a few times.

He dominated FSU while Bobby Bowden was old and senile. When Jimbo took over at FSU and Bama won the championship the job got too hard and he ran.

That will always be a black mark against him, plus the shape he left UF in is also a black mark.

Urban is a great coach, but not the 2nd best and that makes him Overrated. He is top 5 though.

Dabo's 31-0 beat down and ability to make the playoffs consistently puts him over Urban for now.
