Only way you can make a list of greatest coaches in CFB History and not Bear and/or Saban at #1. Well done.

I did pay attention, that's why I sent my congratulations of finding a list of Greatest CFB Coaches that have both Bear and Saban disqualified.

move Tressell to 4th.

Tressel won multiple championships at the D I-AA level plus won more conf companionships than John robinson
Mack Brown wouldn't be considered if not for one lucky season with VY
Holtz tainted himself at South Carolina

It might have disqualified Saban and Bear, but your list is missing one Alabama coach. Gene Stallings 63-15 at Alabama including 5 bowl wins and 1 undefeated National Championship season and two 1 loss seasons. Plus, he gave me my first job in college, which was almost as important. He'll turn 82 in March and is still very much alive.

Stallings is in the John Robinson, Lou Holtz realm.

Yes we know..stop reminding us. thank you

It's pretty annoying that you listed Carr as 1/2 but didn't listed Osborne as 2.5. But I'm sure that was on purpose.
