Considering many Oklahoma fans here have not been happy with Stoops there might not be as much uproar as there should be.

Harbs won a couple of conference titles when he was HC @ San Diego St. but he hasn't won another one since .. not counting his time with the Niners (NFL).

It really is amazing people get paid to make lists like this, or better yet smoke out then make a list....

They usually make for good debate ... and this list will change for sure at the end of this season .. but ya I don't agree by a long shot on some of the rankings on that list.

I was expecting Dantonio to be much lower on the list after last year where a lot of the problems could be pointed to coaching errors.

Yeah but he really has a good run at MSU.....

Last year sucked for him but he's been solid ... other than last season that is. Curious to see if MSU bounces back.

I was expecting him to be higher ... one bad season can happen to anyone.

1 Saban and 2 Meyer were easy calls

Just scrolled to the bottom to make sure Saban was number 1, list ain't bad at all....

Stoops has only won 10 conference championships and 1 Natty, so clearly they got this one right.

I'm not getting that one ... Harbs ahead of Stoops. No disrespect to Harbs ... he's a good coach but ya that one has me puzzled.

So fuckin' what? Did Stoops ever win anything on the FCS level? Jimmy Jam did. Did Stoops play in the NFL? Jimmy duh Great did. Did Stoops coach in the NFL? Jimmy Boy did. Why can't people understand the asshole in ann arbor's total awesomeness? It just doesn't matter he hasn't won anything really on the FBS level because far too many people have judged his incomplete CFB coaching resume on what they think he might do. Not what he's actually done so far.

And hell if we're gonna play the guessing game I'm gonna go out on a limb & say the Cleveland Browns will win the S.B. in 5 years.

Yep. Undefeated against Kansas.

 

[AlaskaGuy]

The PAC North has three HC's in the top 25 and one PAC South HC made the top 25 so that's all good.

PAC North > PAC South

Kirk Ferentz at number 20? Wow.

I guess they lead with "The very face of boring, monotonous success."

I'll give 10:1 odds that they just extended his contract because of this list.

That Michigan win really upped his street cred.
