Well Ohio State(tressel Meyer), FSU(dumbo Bowden), LSU(Saban miles), Wisconsin(biliema his successor), oregon(kelly helfrich), penn state (O'brien franklin), ok state(miles Grundy), auburn(Chizik malzahn), Texas (Mack strong) just off the top of my head
Which duo is supposed to be impressive? I can find two, Oregon and LSU. And before Saban and Miles, LSU ran through guys like Curly Hallman and Gerry Dinardo. Penn State, Ok State, Texas are terrible examples as none of them know what they have with their current coaches, in fact, all three are very much wait-and-see. Ohio State plays in the Big 10 where you and gatoravatara could win 10 games. FSU totally botched the Bowden/Jimbob thing and as we know, the ACC and Urban's esophagus greatly assisted Jimbo and FSU. You're calling Chizik a sustained success?
You can find two decent examples in the last decade and if you extend it to Foley's entire tenure, 20+ years, you're left with NOBODY!
The hoops some of you jump through to minimize and criticize Foley is one of life's great mysteries to me.
