Re-order these as you see fit.
If there are others put them on the list in the appropriate order.

No Big Game Bob on your list?

Just like Urban Meyer.
Needs to be updated.

Very serious. He had a Cotton Bowl team at SMU, was very good at North Texas and turned Iowa from being a a perennial loser (19 consecutive non-winning seasons) to a B1G power by breaking up the B1G 2 and Little 8. Plus, his coaching tree is amazing and includes Bill Snyder, Bob Stoops and Barry Alvarez. All 3 of which need to be on the list too!

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

Not true it's subjective.

 

[IrishBlooded]

No Stoops?

 

[78Cyclones]

And where the hell is Ty Willingham? I saw his 1996 Stanford team CRUSH Nick Saban's Michigan State team 38-0 in the Sun Bowl! / sarcasm

 

[outofyourmind]

Mack Brown
Les Miles

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.

You're an idiot. The house and car were from agents to get Bush to leave USC not go to USC. Oregon pays players to go to that god forsaken campus.

 

[poewelch84]

Th e only issue with the list when you started it was no At a Parseghian of course he is no longer with us but a major flaw to your list.

 

[iowajerms]

Add Hayden Fry!

No NCs.

 

[rmilia1]

Hayden Fry was a better coach than pretty much anyone I've seen mentioned on the first 3 pages and his coaching tree alone is reason to have him top 3-5 for impacy on CFB

If Coach Fry makes the list can former Mount Union coach Larry Kehres also be added?

-11 national titles
-54 game winning streak ('96-'99)
-55 game winning streak ('00-'03)
-.929 winning % (best all time)
-hall of famer
-23 conference crowns
-21 unbeaten regular seasons
332-24-3 record

D III coaches count right?
