List Coaches that have won NC's that are still alive but retired from Football/In order of Greatness

Ah yes, you are referring to the U$C days.

Does that change the fact that they dominated the conference for 7 years? Let's not pretend that Oregon was not shelling out stupid amounts of cash for "scouting reports".

Um, well when you are buying players houses and cars it does help bring in better recruits which can enhance a team.

And Oregon's not paying $25,000 for Texas "recruiting services"?

This was such an enormous problem the NCAA deemed it fair for Oregon to lose 1 scholarship over 3 years. Terrifying consequences.

Meanwhile USC is still using their sanctions excuse as to why they are not good.

So what's Oregon's excuse then.

So you are okay with cheating to win, as long as it's small cheating or only if it's Oregon cheating?

 

[tnapucco]

Well Barry was caught cheating so...

Where's Brasky with the Ref meme?

Because this is a team foul. Nutswinging on conference mates before they joined the conference.

Or I just make fun of everyone...

These need to be switched.
Barry was 12-5 vs Tom
11 Conference Championships vs 7
3 NC's vs Zero in that time frame.
And Switzer had 2 undefeated seasons. 1973 and 1974

Oops! I stand corrected: one unbeaten, untied team & one unbeaten, once-tied team. Still only 2.5 Natties since the Sooners didn't sweep the polls one of those years.

Seriously???

Yes. Seriously. We were asked to post retired (but still living) coaches who had won a national championship. Nobody said it was limited to FBS coaches.

I had forgotten about Jimmy Johnson & Phil Fulmer. Johnson was very dominant his last few years at Miami, but his .sub-.700 overall winning percentage drops him into the "very good, but not great" ratings for me. I would rate Fulmer up there with Spurrier.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Vince Dooley not even worthy of making the list?

 

[Chewbaccer]

Bobby Ross with 1/2 title

 

[BamaDude]

I had Vince Dooley on the list.

 

[BamaDude]

He was #8 on my list. And I would insert Phil Fulmer at #12, which would bump the previous #12 & those below him down one notch each.

And it's too early to list Les Miles since we don't know if he is finished coaching yet.

Dude
We were on probation that year and couldn't be ranked in the Coaches Poll.
If we had, it would have been #1.

Barry Switzer
Tom Osborne
Jimmy Johnson
Bobby Bowden
Steve Spurrier
LaVell Edwards
Lou Holtz
John Robinson
Vince Dooley
Phil Fulmer
Bill McCartney
Gene Stallings
Mack Brown
Jim Tressell
Danny Ford
Howard Schnellenberger
Les Miles
Larry Coker
Loyd Carr 1/2

Ok Scratch that Johnny Majors was head coach at Pitt when they won it so never mind. My mind is off today.
