College Coaching Rivalries

[RoboticDreams]

I was thinking about some of the best college coaching rivalries of all time. I remember the rivalry between Carroll and Harbaugh back when they were still in college. Obviously that isn't remotely close to some of the bitter coaching rivalries of the past. I remember Switzer and Osbourne being a pretty big rivalry. What are the most formidable rivalries you can think of?

Bear vs. Shug
Hayes vs. Schembeckler (I think)

 

[RoboticDreams]

I was kinda young but wasn't Jimmy Johnson vs Bowden, Spurrier and even Switzer a rivalry?

 

[Wild Turkey]

I think the biggest right now is Miles vs Saban a lot of pressure in that one.

 

[OregonDucks]

Chip Kelly vs anyone

Carroll vs Harbaugh NCAA then carried into the NFL.

For historical purposes....

Switzer vs Darrell Royal got real personal real fast.

Joe Paterno vs Jackie Sherrill was another nasty one.

 

[RobToxin]

For current rivalries, there is some bad blood already between Steve Spurrier and Dabo Swinney.

I know this was more of a race than a rivalry, but Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno

 

[EVille3]

Bowden vs Spurrier was huge

 

[GreenNickle]

Woody vs Bo

 

[theSabanator20]

Currently, it would be


Saban/Miles
Sweeney/Spurrier
Hoke/Meyer&Dantonio
Stoops/Gundy

Back in the day when USC was the kings out west, Carroll and Bellotti DID NOT like each other

[RobToxin]

How could we forget Nick Aliotti vs Mike Leach? First time in history the coach of the team that lost the game was accused of running up the score.

For current rivalries, there is some bad blood already between Steve Spurrier and Dabo Swinney.

For current rivalries, there is some bad blood already between Steve Spurrier and Dabo Swinney.

That's because Dabo can't win shit against the ole' ball coach.
