TSN ranking of 66 BCS coaches

Jim Grobe reminds me of something my father always said when he made a case for the dominance of David Robinson.

"Look, he damn near took Navy to the Final Four."

And Wake Forest in the Orange Bowl, after the team just about fell apart early because of injuries, was more shocking than that.

 

And Schiano's just one spot ahead of Al Groh? Never knew maintaining mediocrity at Virginia/doing a C- job at Wake and building Rutgers into something were so similar.

 

As far as play caller, Steve Spurrier(by far) tops the list for me.

 

I can go with that.

 

Yet another embarrassing day for the alma mater -- ranked one spot behind a guy who has never coached a game.

 

Weird list. How can Houston Nutt be in the top 20, given what happened in the last year? It's a disaster waiting to happen down there.

The list has a lot of weird inconsistencies and it's hard to say it's taking into account. Bobby Johnson doesn't even have a winning season at Vandy...what makes him more successful or
"better" than Phil Fulmer? And I'm no Fulmer fan, either. And, Jesus...Les Miles - who did a nice job at Oklahoma State and has successfully transitioned at LSU - is 41st, and also behind Johnson? Urban Meyer is behind Dennis Erickson?

And Weis at 42...oh, come on.

 

Well Dennis Erickson has two national titles with Miami and a BCS Bowl victory with Oregon State while Weis' signature victory in college football was a 3-point road win over a 7-6 Michigan team.

 

If you're gonna give guys like Butch Davis and Nick Saban credit for what they've done at previous stops, don't you have to extend the same credit to Spurrier? Seems a little low to me at No. 8, especially given the success he's had at South Carolina.

 

Spurrier with an ACC title with Duke, National title and five SEC titles at Florida probably deserves Top 5 although a pessimist will say he should've had at least three national titles at Florida.
