Worst Job
Mack Brown, with an assist from Will Muschamp.

There is not a more talented team just sucking it up in the entire country.

Also horrible jobs given the talent they have:

Mark Richt at UGA
Urban Meyer at UF
Nick Saban at Alabama.

Randy Shannon is embarassing at this point. Will they ever get back at the U with him?

Butch Davis has sucked even with bought players.

Turner Gil can try to blame whatever he wants on a bare cupboard. He had the talent to beat GT and yet lost to some teams that are not talented at all. He also did not have his team competing. They had their doors blown off over and over and over.

Good jobs this year?

I would argue that the coaching staff at Boise deserves to be on. They beat Virginia Tech in such a demoralizing way that it cost the Hokies two losses. They did trip up but they are overperforming their talent.

TCU coaches have done a great job.

Tubberville has been very solid at Texas A&M.

Spurrier has coached a great season.

Derek Dooley has also done an excellent job.

Mark Dantonio has done a great job at Michigan State this season.

Jimbo Fisher has done a very good job at FSU. Really funny how wrong some posters on here were about him. Eddie Gran and Stoops have both also done very well.

Oregon's coaching staff.

Stanford's coaching staff.

Most puzzling job of the year?

Les Miles. Tons of talent. Horrible coaching, yet somehow wins lots and lots of games.

What say you? Who was best this year and who was worst?

People can say what they want about a potential 7-6 freshman coaching record in the Sec. But in my mind Coach Dooley is at least a top 5 to 10 Coach of the year.....

Given the circumstances, Davis hasn't really sucked. And despite this year, I'm confident that firing Tuberville for Chizik will turn out to be a terrible move.

Worst would have to be Mack Brown with Jeff Tedford as honorable mention.

Best would be the Oregon staff after the on and off the field issues they had last year.

Worst - Mack Brown in a cakewalk

Best - Still not sure yet; Lot of good candidates this year. Mark Dantonio, Mike Sherman, Jim Harbaugh, Mike Gundy, Chip Kelly, Les Miles, Bret Bielema, Steve Spurrier, Chris Ault.

At first I questioned the Nick Saban comment, but given the talent he has, anything less than 10 wins should be a dissapointment, especially considering how down the SEC was this year.

Still, other than LSU, is there a team in the west that has even come close to recruiting better than they have? And losing to USC? Saban underperformed this year.

The SEC gave Bama about the most difficult conference schedule imaginable. The Carolina Panthers couldn't have run the table the way Bama's schedule was set up this season.

Jimbo Fisher lost to apparent nimrod Butch Davis' UNC team at home with a far more talented team. Oops.

The best imo is the Oklahoma State coaching staff (particularly offensive coaches), I was watching gameday today and had no idea what they have done compared to last year.

The worst besides Texas to me is Miami or Clemson they both had expectations and talent coming into this year and have failed pretty badly

The best job has to probably be Oregon as much as I hate to say it.

Of course the Panthers couldn't have run that table. Have you seen them this year? Historically inept.

And didn't Georgia Tech lose 4 ACC games this year? Not sure beating them means you have elite talent.

Best:
Gene Chizik - The man was booed before he got off the plane @ Auburn, and he's one game away from playing for a national title. Time will tell if it's legit or not.

Worst:
Mack Brown and Urban Meyer (tie) - At least Texas had a signature win against Nebraska. UF's biggest win this season was South Florida. Expect both of these guys to clean house and bring in some seasoned assistant coaches next season.

As much as I don't like Meyer, Mack Brown's job was far and away the worst. They played for the NC last season, and this season they are pathetic with a loaded roster.

Chizik and Kelly should get the nod this year, with a slight edge to Kelly.

Mack Brown. You don't lose 7 games with that talent in the Big 12. Meyer had a bad year, but not as bad.
