Is there a coach or a player who is "unarguably" the GOAT at his job?

I am talking about a guy that even his most bitter rival has to admit is the GOAT.

My guess is John Wooden in roundball.

You're not wrong but you can at least make an argument for Dale Sr.

JFF obviously falls into this category

"Unarguably", no.

Someone is always going to argue their GOAT is better than your GOAT. It's inevitable.

Tiger Woods is probably the answer. Jack is the only one close, but Tiger has already passed him with years to play.

Not really.

He has 14 majors to Jack's 18, and only one more overall win. Tiger doesn't pass Jack until he wins 19 majors. He's 38 so he definitely has time to do it.

I can't imagine how anyone could argue against Coach Wooden, if you use the word "college" in the question.

Agreed.

And in that vein, I think we will be talking about Jimmie Johnson as a potential GOAT by the time he's through.

It's debatable depending on the field. Times change so you really have to look at achievement within the context of that time period.
