Sorry, but they would have continued to only win 6 or 7 games had Dobbs not been there being an unreal athlete making up for a poor OL and decision making of how to utilize talent. His defense was avg at best and no one could stay healthy. Shocking that Pruitt takes over and most everyone was ok?Frankly, and I know I'll get flamed for this, I would not include Kiffhole or Jones in that group. With Kiffhole, it's hard to gauge on his one year here. I never liked him, and still don't, but I don't think we have enough evidence to convict him to this list. As for Butch, he inherited a terrible mess from Dools. He got 2 successive 9 win seasons before flaming out in his 5th year. In my view, he started to move the needle upwards from where he started.
We (UT) had three coaches make the top twenty, namely Kiffin, Dooley, and Jones. Is anyone surprised?

And we get a big assist on Walt Harris. He was a long time OC under Majors at UT. Prolly where he learned to punt on 3rd down....
YEAH! I couldn't help but notice WALT. I remember him well at UT. Actually he was a Pretty good OC.And we get a big assist on Walt Harris. He was a long time OC under Majors at UT. Prolly where he learned to punt on 3rd down....
Agreed.How in the world is Kiffin on that list. Like him or not, the guy is an outstanding football coach, period. He did some really good things his 1 year here, he “failed” at USC going 28-15 in 3.5 years there, was one of the best if not the very best OC in the country while at Bama, and he had an historic first year at lowly FAU last season. I don’t care what you think of him personally, but he doesn’t belong on any list at any time for any reason with Butch Jones and Derek Dooley.
I don't think anything shows the overrated-ness of Notre Dame better than Gerry Faust's tenure.I bet Gerry FAUST @ ND was Top of the list! He was frigging hilarious.
