Normally I'd wait for the end of the NCG for this thread, but I don't think any outcome will have an impact the top 2.
My list:
1. Nick Saban- He's the GOAT
2. Dabo Swinney- Has a natty, going into his third NCG, all at a non blue blood
3. Jimbo Fisher- Say what you will, but he has a natty, and he hasn't been out of the game for an extended period
4. Kirby Smart- Great recruiter, has Georgia playing to their potential, hasn't been able to top Saban, but not many have.
5. Lincoln Riley- Great offensive mind. Two season, two playoff appearances, two Heisman winners
6. Chris Petersen- Great all around coach. Has Washington more relevant than they've ever been in my lifetime.
7. Les Miles- He's gotta a big job ahead of him, but I think he can get Kansas to relevancy. Has a natty, would be higher if he hadn't been away for a few years.
8. Mack Brown- Same as Les, a lot of work to do, but would be higher if not for the years he's been off the job.
9. James Franklin- Gets some well deserved criticism, but has done a fine job bringing Penn State back from where they were after the worst scandal in sports history. Great recruiter. Urban's gone, he has an opening.
10. Dan Mullen- He built Mississippi State into a respectable program, and that's saying something, and improved Florida's win mark by 6 games over last season, and that's with a brain dead QB.
HM: Mike Leach, Brian Kelly, David Shaw, Mark Stoops(9 wins at Kentucky is impressive), Dino Babers, Jim Harbaugh, Tom Herman, Mark Dantonio, Ryan Day(fully expect him to be safely on this list after next season, but can't include him when he hasn't been a HC before save a few games for Urban's suspension), Pat Fitzgerald, Doug Patterson
