May 23, 200818 yr Per Rivals 10. Mack Brown (Texas) 9. Tommy Tuberville (Auburn) 8. Jim Grobe (Wake Forest) 7. Frank Beamer (Virginia Tech) 6. Mark Richt (Georgia) 5. Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) 4. Les Miles (LSU) 3. Urban Meyer (Florida) 2. Jim Tressel (Ohio State) 1. Pete Carroll (Southern California) What say you? Good list? Glaring omissions *Steve Spurrier, cough, cough*?
May 23, 200818 yr With Bobby Petrino back in college, you have to think he belongs on this list ahead of Jim Grobe.
May 23, 200818 yr 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.
May 23, 200818 yr 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?
May 23, 200818 yr With Bobby Petrino back in college, you have to think he belongs on this list ahead of Jim Grobe. 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.
May 23, 200818 yr Author 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. :thumb: 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...
May 23, 200818 yr 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.
May 25, 200818 yr 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.
May 25, 200818 yr I do not see how Phil Fulmer is left off that list, he only has the highest winning percentage of any active coach.
May 25, 200818 yr 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.
May 25, 200818 yr While he does need more time to prove himself, I'd take Brian Kelly over Grobe, Schiano and Leavitt...
