Athlon Ranks Every Coach College Football

[charlie42s]

Wow, nobody noticed that Petrino #16 is rated higher than Strong #26.
Am I right to assume that Louisville has a no motorcycle riding clause in Petrino's contract?

So much wrong with this that I can barely formulate a response.

Petrino is a sleaze but the man can coach and I would rank him higher than Strong.

Honestly, I think 16 is low. Not sure how he would recruit at a big school, but scheme wise he is rock solid. I think Strong is under-rated, but it is still early. Great DC and success at Louisville. Win 10 games next year and he flies up the rankings

I didn't look at the full rankings, but I thought the same thing about Pat Fitzgerald. He's ranked as the 4th best head coach in the Big Ten. Did they not see his team collapse last year, and Fitz not being able to pull them out of their tail spin?

It seems like everyone loves James Franklin, I'll pay close attention to Penn State this year(unless it interferes with a Badger game) to see what kind of coach Franklin is, I didn't see much that made me think, "wow, he's great" when he was at Vandy, though.

With the sanctions there's no way you're going to see the full potential no matter what.

Saban is too low.

 

[Brasky]

Pelini @ 43, seems about right.

No. Should have won a CCG and beat a title contender in 2009. Pelini is a top 10 coach.

Fuck Beebe. Fuck the Big 12.

He did take Arky to a BCS game. He's proven he can coach elsewhere. That's yet to be seen with Strong.

He was not a year to year contender though. I don't believe he has ever won a BCS game, didn't he leave before the game was played when he got there at Louisville?

Is this my wife? I said Petrino is low and Strong needs to win at Texas to move and you come back arguing by repeating that.

Did you notice what part I hi-lighted?

 

[Codaxx]

He didnt recruit at a high level there. I dont consider Ark to be a teir 1 program. I do question I f he can pull top 10 classes at a Florida or USC. On purely coaching, I would have him top 5. It is the other aspects of the job that knock him down. That is one reason I hate these lists. Are we talking pure coach or program leader. Thete is a difference

 

[Texas Jefe]

Petrino won the Liberty bowl and Orange bowl, with the latter finished 12-1.


He's obviously a good football coach. He's just a douchebag.

 

[HuskerOC]

Really don't care where Athlon ranks Bo Pelini, the current head coach at Nebraska, but this list is a complete and utter fucking joke.


Nothing more.

 

[Red_Alert]

Bo Pelini is just about right at 43rd.

He's got a Top 10 program regarding facilities, tradition, fan support yet his highest final ranking is only 14th and that was 5 years ago.

2008 - Unranked
2009 - 14th
2010 - 19th and 20th
2011 - 24th
2012 - 23rd and 25th
2013 - 25th and Unranked

If you give a 26 value to "unranked" his average ranking is 22nd. That is sad for a program like Nebraska and is worthy of a 20 point penalty in coaching ability. The clown is just scraping by. Let's see him take Vanderbilt or Iowa St to 9 wins. Then I'll be impressed with Bo Pelini.

You have obviously failed to see that I don't think much of Bo Pelini.

But for him to be ranked behind some of these slaps while winning 9 games a year is truly fucking hilarious. And I hate him as our coach.

Spurrier at #3?

 

[TexasExes98]

Fuck Beebe. Fuck the Big 12.

Fuck Nebraska. When ya'll picked up your skirts and ran to another conference, you also took away one of our guaranteed wins....

 

[MarkOU]

Pelini has yet to win a conference championship. In fact its been 15 years since Nebraska won a conference title. He should be ranked like 100th on the list.

The fact that he is the head coach of Nebraska and one of the least popular People in the state of Nebraska tells you all you need to know about where he should be ranked
