January 11, 201610 yr My List: 1a. Nick Saban 1b. Urban Meyer 3. David Shaw 4. Dabo Sweeney 5. Jim Harbaugh
January 11, 201610 yr Saban, Meyer, Harbaugh, Briles are my top 4 in order. 5 to me is a toss-up. Lots of coaches could fit there: Jimbo, Shaw, Patterson, Dantonio (would probably be my #5 today), Miles, Bob Stoops, Brian Kelly, Dabo. Today I think I'd put at 5. Dantonio, 6. Brian Kelly, and the rest tied at 7 (I feel they are all really similar).
January 11, 201610 yr As far as actually producing wins the last 10 years or so. Saban Meyer Miles Patterson Stoops As far as who I like going forward to join the list Briles Swinney Fischer Kelly Helfrich
January 11, 201610 yr Miles has a championship, but he can't develop QBs or an offense. I've never been high on him. 1. Meyer 2. Saban 3. Harbaugh 4. Dantonio 5. Kelly (Yeah, I said it. Look at the depth that is in South Bend now)
January 11, 201610 yr Lets be honest, Les Miles hates offense, and hates qb's, and wishes he could be coaching in another era. He also has an Natty and is 112-32 at LSU.
January 11, 201610 yr Author Obviously Meyer and Saban are 1 and 2 on every list. But I really like David Shaw. He wins in a really difficult conference, and he has an added difficulty in the fact that he has to recruit players that are academically able to get into Stanford. He is a great football coach. He is an Xs and Os kind of guy who consistently beats teams with more highly touted talent than his. I know he had Luck for a year and now McCaffrey, but overall their talent level isn't the same as Oregon or USC most years, but yet they have been consistently beating those 2 teams year in and year out.

January 11, 201610 yr Lets be honest, Les Miles hates offense, and hates qb's, and wishes he could be coaching in another era. He also has an Natty and is 112-32 at LSU. He was an OC before becoming a HC.
January 12, 201610 yr Nick Saban Urban Meyer Jim Harbaugh David Shaw Bill Snyder Lots of great coaches out there, including: Bob Stoops Gary Patterson Chris Petersen Brian Kelly Jimbo Fisher Les Miles Mark Dantonio Art Briles Larry Fedora Charlie Strong Bobby Petrino Ken Niumatalolo Paul Johnson Troy Calhoun and who am I forgetting...
January 12, 201610 yr He was an OC before becoming a HC. He is an old OL coach and his 3 offenses scored 80th-73rd-35th in points per game.
January 12, 201610 yr I'm so biased against Harbaugh. His 'I'm better than you and there's nothing you can do about it' attitude makes me hate him to the core. Yes. I said HATE. I mean it. I know it's not rational but still hate that guy.
