At what point does the "he turned around a program" theme get lifted?
At what point does the "he turned around a program" theme get lifted?Until another coach succeeds at that program or said coach begins to tank badly

3. Swinney: 56-12 the past 5 years :surprised:
4. Patterson: 9 11-win seasons; I also think it took a couple of years for him to adjust his program to the rigors of a P5 conference. :emawkid:
5. Dantonio: 3 big 10 and 5 11-win seasons in past 6 years :gocho:
6. Harbaugh: Small sample size, but he really resurrected Stanford before leaving for the NFL. :dunno:
7. Briles: What's his best win? Serious question. KSU in 2012 :frown:
8. Jimbo: Admittedly, he probably should be higher than this but last season seemed like smoke and mirrors to me. :Ugh:
9. David Shaw: September 2 will not be fun. :frown:
10. Stoops: He does less with more a lot of the time, but he does have more. :blindfold:
Pinkel and Beamer retired ChingsI know, I forgot to remove them let me do that now!

How in the world is Gene Chizik a DC at North Carolina? :sdeek:I would be more amazed if he was an HC for a P5 team.

David Shaw is probably the most underrated. 3 Rose Bowls and a Fiesta in 5 seasons at Stanford is pretty crazy.It's amazing how much so. He's won the Pac 12 3 times!

Race? Or being the Pac 12? Both? If he had a similar run in the SEC I think he would get a lot more publicity. I can't think of a comparable white coach though.Dantonio is similar

I can't think of a comparable white coach though.I mean a lot people want Harbaugh in the top 10 for not even winning the Pac 12 once. At the same school. With Shaw as his offense coordinator.
Actually, no. he has three conference titles in several more seasons.Race? Or being the Pac 12? Both? If he had a similar run in the SEC I think he would get a lot more publicity. I can't think of a comparable white coach though.Dantonio is similar
And he think he gets a lot more pub because of his skin tone and not his being in the Big 10?Race? Or being the Pac 12? Both? If he had a similar run in the SEC I think he would get a lot more publicity. I can't think of a comparable white coach though.Dantoni is similar

50% of the first four posts had harbaughand at the expense of leaving our Shaw
Had spurrier not hung it up mid season would he be on this list?I would think so.

I can be swayed by that I think. His Florida accomplishments were a school and decades ago.Had spurrier not hung it up mid season would he be on this list?I would think so.
Not a chance. He won the SEC East one time in 10+ seasons at South Carolina.
I think his Florida accomplishments put him in the discussion of top 10 all time, but he has only been an above average head coach for much of the past decade.thoughts on bear bryant?
Oh. On here? Pfffft. I could have told you we had idiots posting on here. Fwiw I see Harbaugh as a famous name that's rise is due mostly to that and not much else. What has he done? Nothing thar a crap ton of other coaches haven't done.
Harbaugh competed against Carroll and Kelly whereas Shaw competes against Helfrich and [insert USC coach here]. Given the title of the thread, I also think you can give Harbaugh credit for 3 NFC title games and a super bowl appearance. I give Harbaugh credit for building Stanford and, although they weren't full builds, instantly turning San Fran and Michigan into very competitive teams. I probably underrated Shaw a bit but I would still take Harbaugh.

I don't think a lot of coaches can turn things around like he did at Stanford, San Francisco, and Michigan. People view Harbaugh as a great coach for the same reason Snyder is viewed as a great coach, they turned program(s) or team(s) around, and sustained success.

Did he get fired from San Francisco? And winning with other people's players isn't that impressive. I sure as he don't see oscar Webber on any top ten coaches lists.

Shaw was 1-1 against Kelly
I need to update this list. Obviously, Dabo needs to move up a tier and with Stoop and Miles out of the game (for now) others can move into their spots.

Good points.I understand but its not the same as it was in hell even the late 2000's look at frost for example, he took a team that was winless just a couple of years ago and is undefeated and headed to florida now. he will get 2-3 years and if he isn't successful he will be fired. there really isn't a lot of longevity in coaching with all these young guys. that why id love a hire like stoops/kelly/venables guys like that will put together a good staff and when they move on or actually retire hopefully you can promote from within (could be posted in this thread or the terrible ksu coaches thread but the point still stands)
I thought about dropping Fisher the next tier because of this season, but he still has an impressive run. Its hard to know if this is just an isolated season or not.
I was a bit cautious including coaches that haven't been there more than 3 or 4 years, ie. Fleck, Smart, Campbell.
I can see including Chryst (Wiscy coach) at least in the consider category.

I can't tell if you are trolling here....are you suggesting KSU can hire Stoops and/or Kelly...guys who will "put together a good staff" for when they move on? I'm no sure why you would rule out hiring Saban or Meyer. They would be at the top of my list if i were in your shoes. Seems like you are settling for a Stoops or Kelly.
I think my earlier posts about expectations were pretty spot on. You are going to be soooo disappointed with whoever we hire.

You can set your expectations as high as you want....that's your choice and you are the one that looks/sounds ridiculous. You're probably the first person to bitch that we don't have a slew of 5 star recruits every class. I love laughing at the tards on the phog thinking they could/can hire Harbaugh but the reality is we have the same types of fans....every fan base does I guess.

Actually, Bill is a slightly less successfiul Frank Beamer.

Switch their jobs.
My biggest Bill critique is how lazy he's ALWAYS been with recruiting. I don't think recruiting here is an impossibility but you have to be willing to work at it. He's always thought his program culture could overcome getting outworked in recruiting. Beamer didn't have to do much to get Vick, that made getting Tyrod Taylor easier. Beamer built that program off of kids from eastern Virginia.
The idea that K-State couldn’t get Stoops or Kelly because we’re K-State is absurd. We are a Power 5 team with a lot of good qualities. Stoops would most likely say no but it’s not because of us, he just simply seems like he’s happy not coaching again. And I’m sure Kelly might say no too, but only because he could get offered a job a tier above us. If he wants to coach again and we were the only ones offering he would 100% come here. Every AD makes a list and works from the top down. You put names like Stoops and Kelly on there. Dont compare what kslim said to offering Saban or Meyer. Take a rough ridin' lap WB

I’m not saying he did but he should
Didn't he hire Craig Bohl? Not saying it's exactly predictive, but it does provide SOME insight
i'm so jealous of Nebraska fans right now. impossible to not like Scott Frost, and they'll have him for a long time, and he'll get them back to national relevance imo.
I would bet against it, but you never know. Nub has a large number of programs just in their conference they need to pass.i'm so jealous of Nebraska fans right now. impossible to not like Scott Frost, and they'll have him for a long time, and he'll get them back to national relevance imo.
As much as it pains me to say it... I really like Frost and he will win Nubbs another Natty... after watching that UCF game the other day I cannot hate him...

OK back on topic. Here is a pool to start with:
Coaches with multiple nat'l titles:
Nick Saban (at least 5)
Urban Meyer (3)
Coaches with 1 nat'l title:
Dabo Swinney
Jimbo Fisher
Coaches who have played for the title/been in the playoffs:
Kirby Smart
Gus Malzhan
Brian Kelly
Lincoln Riley
Chip Kelly (welcome back!)
Chris Petersen
Coaches with multiple conference titles (3+):
David Shaw
Mark Dantonio
At least 1 conference title and multiple 10+ win seasons (4+):
Mark Richt
Gary Paterson
LHC Bill Snyder
Kirk Ferentz
Mike Gundy
Rising Stars (quick turnaround + conference champ within first five years of coaching):
James Franklin
Scott Frost*
Other possible candidates (coached who are well regarded but never won anything of relevance)
Jim Harbaugh
Paul Chryst
Kyle Whittingham
Mike Leach
I am probably missing someone obvious, but this is a pretty good pool. If I had to rank today I would have the following order:
*impressive turnaround, but not at P5 school...
1. Nick Saban
2. Urban Meyer
3. Dabo Swinney
4. Chip Kelly
5. David Shaw
6. Jimbo Fisher
7. Mark Dantonio
8. Chris Petersen
9. James Franklin
10. Mark Richt
Too soon for me tell on Smart and Lincoln.
