Most overrated and underrated coach

[Gator Fever]

How can a coach that went 3-34 against final AP top 25 teams be underrated?

Franklin shouldn't be where he is at either.

He didn't get blown out of ALL of them.

Foley demanded Ron Zook, three times. They were best buds.

But SOS admittedly hired Hoke twice.

I thought it was under Stoops recommendation Spurrier hire Hoke the Joke. I do remember Spurrier going after Bud Foster at V-Tech.

i try to block that shyt out.

When SOS hires Hoke, it is always the end, at both UF and USCe.

The Mumme types are definitely guys who think that they don't need defense. They don't even tackle in practice. I wouldnt touch one of those guys. The Mumme tree are all very questionable people too. Drinking and drugs. No thanks.

I think Norvell had some gambling rumors going on about him.

 

[GatorJB]

I get that Norvell may have had a red flag and that teams may have had good reasons to pass on him, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he's a really good coach. I know Memphis is sure glad to have him in spite of those red flags, and I suspect in a year or two more P-5 schools won't care either.

Lane Kiffin may be an insufferable a-hole, but strictly in terms of his coaching abilities, after his performance at FAU last year it's a little hard to argue that he is overrated as a coach. He came in and led the same team that had gone 3-9 the year before his arrival to an 11-3 record, winning the Conference Championship and a 50-3 victory in the first Bowl Game they'd been invited to in nine years.

We just watched a fairly in depth interview with Kiffy.
As much as I wanted to point out to my wife how much of a doosh he is, he goes and gets all humble and funny on me.
Dammit to heck Lane!
Even brought up a lot of regrets on how he behaved and some of the inside scoop on Saban and Carroll.
And he told how he was only a ‘side kick’ offensive coordinator with Sarkisian during the Al Davis interview, when Davis surprised him with the HC offer. He then says - “I was no where near ready for that job”

I really tried very hard to dislike him but...
We both came away thinking he’s learned (or learning) his lessons. Dammit.

Family: Wife – Fayedra

You just have to know with a name like Fayedra, she’s got that “I need to speak with your manager” type of hairdo.

Either that or her namesake was a one time nemesis of Godzilla.

From the list in the OP, overrated is Taggart and underrated is Peterson.

We shoulda hired Franklin before he left the field after beating our ass in the Swamp.

There's no logical reason to not hire Norvell other than he's green. Had Memphis won the AAC, that objection would have been cast aside. Someone will take the plunge eventually.

Lane is doing a nice job at FAU and is popular in South Florida. Might have found his level and niche. He should stay put for awhile.

Fitz at Northwestern is underrated. He consistently has a winning record and has to deal with insane academic standards. Ive wondered how he would do at another school.

That's the problem with some of the offensive thinkers. They think they can win with offense alone. Spurrier found out firsthand how critical it was to get the right DC.

And it's the opposite with defensive guys. They play too tight to get over the hump. I guarantee that if we hired a coach that lights up the scoreboard, recruiting would be easier. Even on the defensive side because it's fun to watch.

I'm gonna say most overrated is Fisher. I'm gonna say Peterson is the most underrated. He'd have championships if he would've taken a better job.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Kiffin is definitely underrated. After all, if there was no kiffin, there would be no kiffin's krimson korner.

But much like Brohm, he chose that job.

Are you really a great coach if you choose a stupid school?

I was disappointed that he took the Washington job myself but I think he's stayed in that area for family reasons. If that's true, I'll go to bat for him. But Brohm jumped at the first chance at a p5 job. I think he was even trying to get the Baylor job. He really screwed himself.
