Kalen Deboer has never lost against Kirby, Sark, Lanning, and Whittingham.

I'm not saying he's a better coach than all of them, but he deserves to be on the list.

Sorry, I mentally blocked out the 2025 SEC Championship Game. Deboer is 2-1 vs Kirby.

Finally used a picture of this guy that didn’t look like he had a gun to his head, he looked scared of the camera.

How would he rank numbers 2 through 6 I’d they coached at Iowa…just as an example? If they were at Iowa no one would put them anywhere close to top 10.

No way Ryan Day is ahead of Kirby. That guy was born on third base and Michigan owns him. Plus he only has one measly natty.
