HooverOutlaw Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Are 1.Bear Bryant 2. Nick Saban The next 6-8 coaches combined don't have the titles these 2 have. So even big 10 and Notre Dame fans should understand Alabama is best ever. Michigan 1/2 title since 48 Notre Dame 1 title since 1977. Penn State no titles since 1986. Ohio State best program from Yankee land. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would say John Wooden and Bob Ladouceur are 2 best coaches I've witnessed in my lifetime, but neither are college football coaches Bear and Saban are certainly easy nominees based on accomplishments, but I think both had some advantages that the guy at (ie) William & Mary didn't have Just to be a bit different, I'll go with a couple of guys who maybe did more with less than some other notables: Tom Osborne, Nebraska --> Nebraska has to import almost all of it's talent, and without even a border state to feast on, or for all of Osborn's career even a conference affiliation in a power state. Won 3 MNCs in 4 years from '94-'97 after missing out on one by boldly going for 2 v Miami in '83. Don James, Washington --> College coach of both Nick Saben and Gary Pinkel, James took Washington to Rose Bowls in 1/3 of his 18 seasons at UW, after 4 seasons at Kent St. Won an MNC in '91. Admittedly, James is a bit of a homer pick. If the criteria was expanded beyond my lifetime, I would have looked real hard at Knute Rockne and Bud Wilkinson (stopped coaching the year before I was born and IMHO built the foundation for Switzer and Stoops 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool thing is I have both their playbooks from their respective National Championship teams and they are almost identical in philosophy, rules, side notes, etc... Its crazy how good coaches think alike but in different ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowden had great consistency and turned a run of the mill program into a power. If Pete Carroll would have stayed at USC, he'd probably be on this list too. For me, who has been following college football since 1978 (as a 9 year old), I would have to go, for a top 10: 1. Bryant 2. Saban 3. Bowden 4. Paterno 5. Osborne 6. Switzer 7. Urban Meyer 8. Carroll 9. Spurrier 10. Jimmy Johnson Honorable Mention: Lou Holtz Vince Dooley Pat Dye Bo Schembecler (Woody retired in 1978? Don't remember his teams, too young) Phil Fulmer Frank Beamer Don James Fred Akers Howard Schnellenberger Mack Brown Johnny Majors Barry Alvarez Don Nehlan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
181pl Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Forgot Bob Stoopes. He deserves to be in the Honorable Mention. He lost his ability to win the "biggest" game but OU is still damn consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
