Comparing pre-WW2 coaches to current ones should be banned

They should be about equal IMO. Richt owns the head to head 3-2, and one of those two was decided by one of the most ridiculous personal fouls ever (on AJ Green)


By that logic Hugh Freeze and Nick Saban are neck and neck

So Bama has had #1 (Bryant), #2 (Saban), #56 (Wade), #67 (Thomas), and #123 (Stallings). Nice.

Bill Snyder Way to low, #55?

Guy took over the worst CFB program is history of the game, and had them Quarters away from National title games(damn big12 title game)

Has rosters of 2 star kids on 2 deep, and still wins. He also was able to use juco kids to fill spots he needed.

Seriously, what he did at KST is remarkable, and very few on that list could or would even try it and succeed.

What a joke. Urban is, at worst, top 10. You can easily argue top 5.

Les Miles went to two national championships and won 1 of them and his second basically changed the landscape of football and led to the CFP.

Their careers are pretty equal but Les obviously has the ring. Les Miles should be ahead of Mark

Less has his ring bc everyone else lost in the most unprecedented fashion ever in 2007. I don't think there's been an MNC with two losses since the polls started waiting until after bowls to crown one. Richt's 13-1 2002 season with an SEC title and Sugar Bowl win is better than Les' 2007 season in everything except for lucky circumstances. You could say Les was unlucky due to circumstances in 2011, but literally no one else has had the luck he had in 2007.

You can’t put someone like Richt higher than Les as someone previously stated.


Les had one national championship with 2 losses with an insane roster he inherited. He should be recognized for coming close to holding serve in a lot of respects, but he took the reins of an immensely talented roster for a program with massive inherent advantages. For the first half of his LSU tenure, the SEC West languished under truly awful coaching until Saban (and for a spell, Petrino) got there. Les was a decent football coach, without any noticeably extraordinary core competencies, that walked into an incredibly fortunate situation with a big checkbook and didn’t frick it up too badly most of the time. If you look at their respective careers at LSU and UGA, Miles has an appreciably superior resume, but let’s not carried away and also recognize that Richt didn’t take over a program from the greatest coach that has ever lived in a time in which his division was down.

Beamer was a great coach but having him ahead of Urban and a few others who had done was more is absurd

Big 10 legacy coaches are so overrated it's ridiculous.

Les miles being 140th is a slap in the fricking face. fricking Paul Johnson is ranked 102. What fricking woman made this list

Another ESPN 150 List.

Another MSB shitshow where nobody realizes that it’s just the Top 150, and they aren’t in order.

37. Pete Carroll


A winning record of 97–19 (83.6%)

Is not behind Tressel. Whom he routinely whipped.

Or John Robinson for that matter.

USC was never better than under Carroll, even under McKay.

Seven consecutive Associated Press Top-4 finishes

Six BCS bowl victories

Seven consecutive BCS bowl appearances

A national-record 33 consecutive weeks as the Associated Press's No. 1-ranked team

An NCAA record of 63 straight 20-point games

Three Heisman Trophy winners: Carson Palmer in 2002, Matt Leinart in 2004, and Reggie Bush in 2005.

34-game winning streak (2003–04)

And he's not behind Stoops whom he whipped and OU never ever ever recovered from that Orange Bowl beatdown.
