CBS Head Coaching Rankings

. I mean for heaven’s sake Mullen was on there...

Mullen deserves to be on that list.

but I cannot comprehend why Jimbo is so high at 6 and Ed O can’t even make the list. Seems insane.

Depends of what the people who created the list value. Mullen and Jimbo are both fantastic X's and O's coaches, who have also proven they can run a program. They have Coaches multiple top 10 teams.Coach O did it with LSU, but failed at Ole Miss. Coach O also can't coach one side of the ball like many of the other top coaches can.

I also don't think winning a championship automatically makes you one of the best coaches. There are over 100 programs, but realistically only a select few have the resources to win a Championship. LSU is one of those schools.

And FWIW, we haven't exactly had a dominant DL since Coach O has been here, and that is supposed to be his specialty.

I think his ranking is fair

quote:

---

He "won" a national championship

---

Why are you putting won in quotes? That is suggesting that he didn't really win a national championship.

He put "won" in quotation marks because in the original post the poster wrote "one" instead of "won."

Both of them have.

Fair enough statement.


Which has done it in the SEC?


My point is I don't understand why Jimbo gets so much praise and O gets little.

I think O has some things to work on but you (not you personally, the networks is what I meant) have to give credit when it's due. And maybe they have. I don't know.

I just don't give a lot of credit to the experts who want clicks and viewership.

That was all I was trying to convey.

grammar and spelling must be hard.. and I am drunk

if burrow gets O credit then crab legs made goody Jimbo.

Jimbo interviewed his assistants

Mullen does not belong on that list. This is a coach who has won 1 SEC East Title and nothing else. He got embarrassed by OU in Biblical proportion and I do not want to hear a damn thing about Florida not having all of their starters for that Bowl Game because MANY of you are O haters and don’t give him any credit for having 35 players gone from the 2019 National Championship Team. O lost 41% of the Roster from 2019 to 2020, lost his starting QB in the 3rd game of the year, and still beat Dan Mullen in Gainesville with True Freshman QB in his 1st ever start.

Regarding Jimbo, look at the disaster he left Florida State in and give him credit for inheriting what Bobby Bowden built and left him. Then look at how Jimbo left it.

Regarding the “Lightning In A Bottle” crap, well it is a Head Coaches job to build a staff, recruit his players, and win games. Orgeron has done all of these requirements. A15-0 National Championship Team which will rank as one of the all time great teams was recruited and so was the staff that made it happen. Without Orgeron NONE of it would have happened. So any of you O haters can STTDB!

Did you see our defense last year? He obviously can't coach either side of the ball and our performance is entirely dependent on coordinators. It can work if you have Brady and Aranda

---

I love how you seem to miss the obvious. Orgeron lost 35 players, both coordinators, his starting QB in just the 3rd game, and had key players opt out after the season had already started. So in your line of thinking all that was needed was a few “Xs and Os” and magic would happen.

What LSU went thru in that fake year of college football was a MAJOR REBUILD” on the team and the staff. Yet people like you give more emphasis to the Covid rebuild year than you do to the 2019 National Championship. The truth is you and people like you simply do not like Orgeron for whatever your reasons are but your argument is either naive or based on dislike of Orgeron because you ignore reality.

Was Gene Chizick a top 10 coach? (38-38)

Les Miles was not a top 10 coach. His teams won in spite of his pathetic offensive strategies and antiquated coaching style. Great recruiting classes will be a constant at LSU (post Nick Saban) because of facilities, support, and other vital resources. Les Miles was not top 10 at OSU and certainly was not at Kansas.

Orgeron does not have a good record overall as a head coach. He may be a Gene Chizick or he may prove to be a good coach. If you base his standing on one season, then he has too many single seasons that would land him in the bottom half of the rankings. He now has a coaching staff that he assembled and the recruiting classes are totally his. Being ranked in the top 10 is about stability, consistency, and product maintainability. He will soon have the opportunity to show his worth. A repeat of last season and he may not be considered top 10 within his own conference.
