Team pac12 trying to rival team sec?
Not so sure on that. SEC spends more money, but not sure coaching talent is much better. Even Saban says his greatest influence was PAC coaxh, Don James
Money isn't a factor. Neither is Don James who obviously isn't a HC now(RIP). All conferences have had their legendary coaches if you want to go that route.
How did this go from a list about coaches going from college to the pros and where they came from to the above?My list of the best in no particular order and what school they coach at next year.
Chris Peterson Washington
Urban Meyer Ohio St
Bob Stoops Oklahoma
Nick Saban Alabama
Brian Kelly Notre Dame
Mark Richt Georgia
Gary Patterson TCU
Steve Spurrier South Carolina
Les Miles LSU
Bronco Mendenhall BYU
Paul Johnson Georgia Tech
Mike Gundy Oklahoma St
Frank Beamer Virginia Tech
Bill Snyder Kansas St
Kyle Whittingham Utah
Most of the Pac 12 talent is new to the game. Not saying that is a bad thing, it just means they haven't done it long enough to see if their success will be sustained.
The PAC12 network broadcast deals have shoved soo much $$$ in each schools coffers already and every year goin forward, even schools like WSU and Oregon St. can throw money at their coaching staffs and facilities they never dreamed possible just two years ago.
The PAC now has the best overall group of coaching staffs of any conf for sure. But not to diss the SEC, big12, and 10 either. They got some great coached teams as well.
But as overall power, the PAC is #1 right now in coaching talent. This conf used to be top heavy, but it's now a dog fight with everyone for recruits and conf play. Total arms race.

He was talking about spending more money on the players, not on the coaches.![]()
-I'm too lazy ... someone run a two column list so we can compare. Snap to it, pronto!
Not at all. Auburn and Bama spend more on football than anyone in the country. As a whole the SEC spends more on football than any other conference. That was not a cheating dig.
