Top 15 all-time college football coaches results!

Re: Top football college coaches of all time -- your vote

Agree on Tressel. And just think, Army didn't want to hire the guy a few years ago. OSU got him out of Youngstown State - because he knew Ohio. Some of you OSU fanboys - what was the reaction at the time?

Also, I put Red Blaik high on my list, though I don't expect him to get many votes elsewhere. But two straight national titles at Army? Obviously there were mitigating factors because it was during WWII when other schools were losing their kids, but the guy put together a dynasty. Gave Notre Dame two of its worst losses of all time in back-to-back years.

 

Re: Top football college coaches of all time -- your vote

At the time of Tressel's hiring I seem to think that most people in Ohio who follow The Ohio State University like his hire. I remember liking it at the time and thinking finally Ohio State is getting a coach who can get it done in big games.

Allow me to make a clarification, simce someone brought it up.
The only qualification is they be a head coach at a college. It doesnt matter if Division I II or III.
So yes, someone like John Gagliardi and Eddie Robinson would be included
