15.

 

My list above. Those other 5 guys don't even belong on the possibles list. As evidenced by these guys;

Fielding Yost

Frank Leahy

Amos Alonzo Stagg

Ara Parseghian

Bob Devaney

Barry Switzer

Eddie Robinson

Pop Warner

Vince Dooley

Lavell Edwards

Frank Broyles

John Robinson

Bob Stoops

Frank Beamer

Dana X. Bible

Walter Camp

John Heisman

 

No way Spurrier, Holtz, Jimmy Johnson or Miles cracks the top 15. Unfortunately Paterno lost all claims to any list.

Tom Osborne vs. Nick Saban

 

1995: Nebraska 50, Michigan State 10

 

1996: Nebraska 55, Michigan State 14

 

 

Saban didn't learn to coach till he could recruit SEC style.

 

This is my problem with putting Saban so high on the list despite his 4 Nattys. Saban fully admitted that he couldn't win at MSU because he couldn't find a way to recruit at the level he wanted, so he jumps ship to a recruiting hotbed LSU. Then because he won at LSU, he figures he can coach anywhere and gets subpar results coaching the Dolphins. So he goes back to college football. Not just anywhere, but a heritage and recruiting rich school to help ensure he'll win.

 

No way he ever would've/could've accomplished at NU what Devaney or Osborne did. He wouldn't have had the patience or recruiting prowess to do so.

 

With all that stated, he IS probably one of the best game day/seasonal managers.

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.
