#1 SOS
Spurrier won 6 SEC titles and the NC at UF, completely changed the game all while doing it the right way. It was the most exciting time in college football and I doubt many of us would be here without him.
And I wonder how many of the other coaches worthy of the list would've taken a job at bottom-feeder South Carolina, much less coached them to three consecutive 11 win seasons.
Sneaky Saban has to come in at #2, although I can respect the argument for #1.
You can't argue with championships, no matter how he achieved them, and and who really knows what goes on behind the scenes? He's undoubtedly the best CEO in college football. For now.
I would put Urban Meyer at #3.
He took a doormat Bowling Green team and scared the hell out of anyone they played.
Then he goes to Utah and builds them into a powerhouse--going undefeated in 2004 with his famous line "We Would Crush Them."
I had been following Meyer since his days at Bowling Green, and I wanted him when Spurrier resigned.
Needless to say, I was excited when he accepted the job at UF, and remember all the grumbling about how his "offence won't work in the SEC."
But I know a champion competitor when I see one.
He's still the best in-game coach that I've ever seen, and on a level playing field, I wouldn't put my money against him.
The rest of the list, perhaps #4 should be Tom Osbourne--he fielded some great teams, although there is the whole "cornroid" thing.
I wasn't around for the rest. I guess the Bear and Booby should be on that list,
But my hate for the noles runs too deep.
