It's ESPN. I'll just assume that Bo Schembechler is about 50 spots too high and ahead of about 30 people who actually won championships.

I would put Saban over Bear at this point bc of scholarship reductions.

Dabo has obviously done an amazing job but #31 ever, over coaches like Bob Neyland, is a bit of a stretch

Les all the way at 140 is a little low also.

Frick Urban Meyer but there's no way there's 45 coaches that should be ahead of him. Probably aren't 15.

It is a joke to have Urban behind at least 25 of the 45 he's behind. I'm no Urban Meyer fan overall, but he has a top 7 winning percentage and won 3 national titles in 17 years of head coaching. To have him behind Bo and Stoops is laughable IMO

Edit: sounds like everyone has their pitchforks out and rightfully so

Urban Meyer is criminally low. Putting him behind Frank Beamer...i mean come on. Has to be a ploy to get him out of retirement or something right?

Yeah, it's ridiculous to put Urban below Dabo, Tressel, and Carroll. Urban has pretty much the same resume as Barry Switzer who they have at #13. He's a top 15 all-time coach.

Probably punishing for daring to try to compete with ESPN's flagship college football show.
