If Finebaum mailed this in any more, he could change his name to Reilly Albom.

Thanks for the morning laugh.

But, but, but ... the blog says: "The following is a careful analysis based on importance, impact and influence of the men who followed Bryant."

Oh, it's Gene Chizik. Hands down. Why is this even a discussion?

 

[TigerVols]

Pat Summitt.

Oh, wait.

 

[2underpar]

No Bill Curry?

 

[Pancamo]

Where is Zooker?

 

[JackReacher]

No Terry Bowden? WTF?

I know it is 'Bama country and all, but remind again what Bear Bryant did besides let Gump return kickoffs?
Seems like Gene Stallings did more and in fewer years.

Well dang. I came in here all ready to start something, but there's no way I'm topping that.

Regardless, though. Spurrier at USC has fully Starshipped his Jefferson Airplane days at Florida. S. Orr is an 0-2 start (which he'll have this year) away from getting that much closer to hitting the links for good.

Saban ahead of Meyer is lafftastic.

I'm not Satan lover, and I find it hard to disagree. But LSU was dreadful when Satan took over. What he managed there is easy to overlook, but he deserves credit for it.

If total college coaching histories (and not just SEC resumes) were taken into account, I'd probably put Meyer ahead of Satan Saban, doing a Mine That Bird along the rail and closing fast on Steve Superior.

Spurrier's at USC now? What happened to Pete Carroll?

Saban, other than the national championship season, was very good but not great at LSU.
2000 was an up-and-down rebuilding season.
In 2001, he went 10-3 and won the SEC -- after about a hundred things broke exactly right to enable them to win the West. There were a half-dozen games in November that had to go a certain way for LSU to have a shot, and they all did.
In 2002, the team tanked after Matt Mauck got hurt against Florida (finished 3-2 with two ugly losses and two miracle finishes that evened out).
2003 was the good times.
2004 was good but got screwed up by a total offensive no-show against Auburn.
Saban's LSU teams were always in the hunt, yet also had brainfarts at certain times -- especially on defense, which he's supposedly the guru at. See the 2002 Arkansas game and the infamous Capital One Bowl in 2004.
I haven't seen those kinds of screw-ups from Meyer's teams. I'd put Meyer over Saban any day of the week.

Is that supposed to impress us?

I'm not even a fan, and it impresses me.
