2, 4, 6, 8
Win before we graduate!

Sorry, I was reliving Pell's first year.

 

[The Shady Grove Gator]

Winners, win...Mullen needs to keep it up.

 

[Turk182]

I have a hard time picking a top 5.

1 Spurrier - no doubt
2. Meyer - close but should have stayed longer
3. Graves - set the table
4. Hall - could have been great
4. Mullen? - too soon to know

Dickey and Muschamp had almost the same winning percentage; 57.3% to 57.1%.

I'm not sure why, but this thread made me think about the time when Muschamp started bringing in an extra offensive lineman for some run plays and bragged about it in the media like he was some genius and was unstoppable.. The whole situation reminded me of the 7 Minute Abs guy from There's Something about Mary.

Wow - Galen had a better win % than I thought.
Galen was a good dude.

A shame about Pell. He had a good thing going until that asswipe coordinated the hit job on us.

Hate to say it but Urby’s record is impressive.

But as usual - HBC baby!
Brought us out of the darkness and made us a perennial contender. Love that guy.

Fckking Butters should be given credit for the other losses

 

[Circle City Gator]

I always thought Hall did a good job with what he had.
