I would love to know why some of you rank Kelly so high? Must be all those NCs he won while playing 5 stars against powerhouses like Navy.

I agree with this statement.

Who would you rank above him (besides Kirby and Saban) and why?
I can't speak for the other guy, but myself I have several.

These are in no particular order, just would take them over Kelly.

Heupel and Stoops have done a more with less. A lot less.
Stoops is winning at Kentucky. Enough said.
Heupel won 11 games last year playing in the SEC with a ragtag collection of 3 stars and walk-ons.

Freeze has proven he can win in the SEC. He is a dirtbag, but we're talking about hiring a coach, not a preacher.

Beamer and Pittman may never be NC level coaches, but so far neither is Kelly. However, both will be solid 9-11 win coaches when all is said and done.

Kelly has done less with more than all the coaches I named above.Like the other poster said. He was at ND pulling in the top recruits to play against Navy and Ball State and zero NCs. He got close a couple of times, but so did Mark Richt.

It is a hard thing to get used to. Crazier yet, when you watch every game ? Kentucky does a lot of odd, dumb shite. They've left a ton of wins on the table. Yet, even with that, they're winning some.

This will piss Belle off, but I'll say that Stoops isn't even the most important guy in the coaching room. Vince Marrow is. And Brad White is probably more key than Stoops.

Credit, however, to Stoops - for amassing what I really think is one of the best coaching staffs in the conference. Some men would not do that. Too insecure.

Not really true.
