re: Who's the 3rd best active coach in college football?

He's won a playoff game and recruits at an elite level.

That program has had 20 years of momentum. The only hiccup they've had in that time was when Fickell had to interim before he was ready to be a HC. That kind of momentum is unmatched. He's a great offensive mind, but the defense has gotten worse every year he's been coaching and Michigan broke the glass ceiling last year. If he gets clipped before the Michigan game this year and they lose again it could get progressively uglier.
