Yup. Kirk Ferentz, Lloyd Carr, Frank Beamer, Bill Callahan, and a bunch of others are way overrated. I still don't see the big deal with Mike Leach.

 

[VolinArizona]

Frank Beamer is a really good coach, but 6 is way too high.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Ferentz and Beamer are both way to high

 

[kptvol]

Frank Beamer is a really good coach, but 6 is way too high.

Yeah, I wouldn't put a guy in the top 10 with that few conference championships.

 

[kptvol]

Bobby Johnson is too high, as well.

 

[WA_Vol]

Mark Richt 23???? Behind Houston Nutt at 20????

I think Lloyd Carr, Mike Belotti, and Houston Nutt are ranked too high. Other than that, I didn't see much wrong with the list.

 

[kptvol]

I'm amazed Charlie Weis is so low.

 

[kptvol]

I think Lloyd Carr, Mike Belotti, and Houston Nutt are ranked too high. Other than that, I didn't see much wrong with the list.

Which is pretty much the reason no one listens to your opinion.

 

[VolinArizona]

Which shows how clueless you are. I can point out no less than 100 different mistakes on this list.

 

[XtennesseeX]

I'm amazed Charlie Weis is so low.

Yea I know.
I think Notre Dame is often overrated.

But Weis has turned around ND pretty fast.

 

[XtennesseeX]

Urban Meyer, even though he won the National Title with alot of Zooks players, I think he should be in the Top 10, maybe even Top 5.

He is nothing but a winner.

 

[kptvol]

An Urban Meyer team would wipe the field with a Kirk Ferentz team any day of the week.

 

[VolinArizona]

I'm waiting for TVA to question 100 different mistakes in the list.

As a preview, there are 8 or 9 coaches ahead of Mark Richt who shouldn't be, and 19 ahead of CPF who shouldn't be.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

There's no reason for Meyer not to be in the top 5.

 

[VolinArizona]

There's no reason for Meyer not to be in the top 5.

I can name plenty of reasons:

Bob Stoops
Pete Carroll
Steve Spurrier
Joe Paterno
Bobby Bowden

and possibly
Dennis Erickson
Butch Davis

 

[TennesseeFan07]

You seriously would put Bobby Bowden in front of Meyer.

 

[VolinArizona]

You seriously would put Bobby Bowden in front of Meyer.

Coaches are measured by accomplishments, and Bowden and Paterno have done enough over their careers that their recent struggles won't move them out of the top tier, especially to a 2-year hot mover. Call me in 5 seasons for a more accurate Urban Meyer ranking.

agreed...:thumbsup:

 

[XtennesseeX]

Urban Meyer in his first head coaching Job took a 2-9 Bowling Green team and made them a 9-3.


Then he took over a 5-6 Utah team and made them 10-2, and won the conference Championship in his first year.

The next season he went undefeated and won the Conference Championship while also winning a BCS Bowl finishing in the Top 5.

Then he took over a 7-5 Florida team, and in 2 years he has won a SEC Championship, a National Championship, and 2 Straight top recruiting classes.

He has done nothing but win.

 

[XtennesseeX]

Repost.

 

[kptvol]

Meyer's accomplishments are so monumental, they must be stated twice.

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

How Roof, Robinson, Brewster and Chizak even made the list is beyond me, half can't win 3 games a year and the other half have not even coached 1 down as a Major college coach yet.....ridiculous

 

[XtennesseeX]

Lol.
It screwed up on me.
