List Coaches that have won NC's that are still alive but retired from Football/In order of Greatness

[The Crimson King]

Pat Dye..

Oh wait, we got screwed

 

[The Crimson King]

If I had to take one off that list I would take Spurrier

 

[BamaDude]

Lavell Edwards just passed away, so I guess he comes off the list now. Condolences to the Edwards family & his BYU family, as well.

 

[UNA Lion]

Time for you guys to put them in the order you think they should be.
Also, any more names?

I think Jimmy Johnson is a bit high.
Maybe Spurrier and Edwards too.
Mack Brown probably too low.

Barry Switzer
Tom Osborne
Jimmy Johnson
Bobby Bowden
Steve Spurrier
LaVell Edwards
Lou Holtz
John Robinson
Vince Dooley
Phil Fulmer
Bill McCartney
Gene Stallings
Mack Brown
Jim Tressell
Danny Ford
Howard Schnellenberger
Les Miles
Larry Coker
Loyd Carr 1/2

Bobby Wallace just retired, and he won three consecutive national championships for UNA, from 1993 to 1995.

... if we're counting Division II.

Jim Tressell

THAT GUY is ahead of Lou fuckin Holtz...

 

[Buck-I-Bob]

what is Bama's O doing

 

[WABLTY]

Frank Kush should be on the list (and high on it considering when he was done at ASU he was younger and had more wins than Paterno), but an undefeated ASU team got screwed out of #1 in favor of an Oklahoma team that lost at home to fucking Kansas by 3 TD's.

That's just how good that Oklahoma team was.

How is Gene Stallings below Bill McFuckinCartney and Phil Snitchy McSnitcherson Fulmer? He has a winning record head to head against both of them. The same number of national titles(only if you give Bill a full one) Conference championships in two different conferences. Plus he's just an all around better human being.

[Across The Field]

Not sure about it being up to date, but the order is still atrocious.

kidding. He was good

When Stallings was at A&M, he won a SWC Championship and beat Alabama and Coach Bryant in the Cotton Bowl. It was Kenny Stabler's last game at Alabama to boot.

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

Switzer was 0 - 1 and Osborne 0 - 2 vs former Washington coach Don James.
