Espn Poll Greatest head coach ever

[irieboy8]

Tom got my vote!!

Holtz is another guy that did little at most stops, but got a Natty at the one school that he was able to inheret quality players. Didn't win much at Ark, Minn, S Carolina, and then bitched that he couldn't recruit players he wanted at ND after winning Natty with the fomer coaches players. That and because he's got great one-liners has kept him employed at ESPN.

Lou never took over a team with a winning record nor failed to take them to a bowl in his second year. And that was before there was a godaddy.com hosting 6-6 teams.

Do you think Lou belongs on this list? Serious question.

Not at all...

In the past few responses, there have been way better candidates than Holtz...

Saban has 4 national titles, too leave him out of anyones top 5 is ridiculous, and could be classified as "hatin"....

 

[Count 'Bility]

I don't like Snyder not being on there.

Boom. When I voted, I knew there was a name listed but couldnt recall who it was. Thank You.

where is devaney? and how do people forget how many top 5 teams osborne fielded? he won 3 in 4 years, but dominated the 90's and had some great teams in the 80's. also, that list is just a crazy hodge podge. there is a lot more to it then wins and championships (although not many on there have multiple championships). bowden built fsu, johnson inherited miami. how is johnson even on there? and then bud? when where his championships? when the shared the 'national' championship with 4 other teams. hogwash, i say!

Coaches like Devaney, Snyder, Bowden and Utah Meyer took over losing programs and changed the culture completely. Guys like Osborne, Saban, Switzer and Florida/OSU Meyer inherited football powerhouses already up and running. Longevity and numbers count for something, but taking the same raw materials another coach failed with and immediately turning them into a winner is always more impressive to me.

Difference is, Bo needs to start posting a better record with his own recruits.

Yeah I do because the article is just a popularity contest which explains how Bo Shemblecker got on the list. Because they didn't give us any criteria, we're free to make up our own. I'll just multiply everyone's win total by their grad rate before adding in their total number of good jokes.

Do you think Switzer and Stoops should have been on that list before Holtz?

Switzer yes, Stoops maybe

I don't know much about Oklahoma in those days, I heard that it was pretty corrupt.

Stoops is famous for a 2 point win for the national title and then losing every bcs bowl afterward.
