What say you? Good list? Glaring omissions *Steve Spurrier, cough, cough*?

[02Ram54]

With Bobby Petrino back in college, you have to think he belongs on this list ahead of Jim Grobe.

[Log Mountain Boy]

Steve Spurrier IMO is definitly 1 of the top 10 coaches in college football. Les Miles is a little high IMO, even though hes hot right now. Rutger's coach, his name has slipped my mind, probably deserves on there too ahead of Grobe.

[DMZ76]

Are these guys really great coaches ...or do they just happen to be at football factories that attract enormous talent? Who are the coaches doing more with less?

[pigman]

Last I checked Wake wasn't a football factory.

I think a better question would be, why is Jim Grobe even on the list? Because he won a terrible ACC a couple years ago? Granted it was a wonderful season, but come on now.

 

If they were trying to be clever and select an "up and coming" type coach, they should have listed Greg Schiano, if anyone.

I agree...Grobe was a real surprise.

 

Names not mentioned...

 

Spurrier (should be on that list, IMO)

Rich Rodriguez

Schiano (as you said)

Petrino

Jeff Tedford

Jim Leavitt (just as deserving as Grobe, IMO, for what he's done at USF)

 

 

Anyway, I understand Petrino being left off. Had he stayed at U of L, he'd definitely be on there I think. Spurrier is the name I can't believe got left off...

[pigman]

Spurrrier hasn't been overly impressive since coming back to the college ranks. Now if you want to count his run at Florida I would have to agree.

[GO CATS]

Jim Grobe? Are you kidding me?

[GO CATS]

BTW, Nick Saben deserves to be on the list!

[Pancake]

Some say that Greg Schiano will be the next Penn St coach...

[madduxace]

Jim Grobe? Are you kidding me?

Jim Grobe is very good. This guy has won at Wake which is not a football school and he deals with a very tough admission policy. I actually wanted him at Michigan before Rodriguez was available. I also think Rodriguez should have been a top 5 choice on the list. Before he arrived in Morgantown they were the second best football school in the state of West Virginia.

[HITMAN97]

I do not see how Phil Fulmer is left off that list, he only has the highest winning percentage of any active coach.

[Alabama Larry]

Doing a "top ten" is hard. Grobe gets it just because Wake is not a "football factory".

 

Darth Visor gets it as does the orange coach.

 

Coach Saban's trip to the pros delays his chance, but we feel really good about our future. He does have a Title though.

 

Petrino should also be there, and like I said this is hard.

[gametime]

While he does need more time to prove himself, I'd take Brian Kelly over Grobe, Schiano and Leavitt...
