quote:
11. Les Miles (63-17 at LSU, 91-38 overall). Miles makes obvious mistakes and he comes across as a little bit odd. He also makes bold moves that often work and instills confidence in his players. He's a lockdown recruiter with a national title to his credit and a stellar record in one of the best conferences in the country.
quote:
8. Bobby Petrino (24-15 at Arkansas, 65-24 overall). Petrino has burned some bridges (Louisville and with the Falcons in the NFL) and he's not the most personable or affable coach — though to be fair, there are few Mack Brown-types in the profession — but when it comes to putting together topflight offenses, he might be the best in the business.
quote:
6. Steve Spurrier (45-33 at South Carolina, 187-73-2 overall). The Ball Coach put together one of the greatest runs in SEC history during the 1990s with Florida, a string of dominance only surpassed by Alabama great Bear Bryant. Since returning from the NFL and taking over at South Carolina, it might be tempting to deem his second act as mediocre, but this is a program that has never won the SEC. Now the Gamecocks are favored to get to the SEC championship for a second straight season.
quote:
1. Nick Saban (44-11 at Alabama, 135-53-1 overall). He's a tireless recruiter. He's put together talented and innovative staffs, despite being as demanding as any boss in the business. He's won two national championships (one with LSU and another with Alabama) and now that he's gotten that NFL itch out of his system, there's no reason why the 59-year-old can't rack up at least a couple more before he calls it quits.

That's damn joke. Miles deserves to be top 5

THIS is where I left my Jergens...

I would rather have Miles or Petrino over Spurrier.

Surely this can't be a reputable selection without the mention of Mark Richt.

Miles should be higher. Paterno is a great all time coach, but he should not be on that list for present head coaches.

4. Pat Fitzgerald (35-29 at Northwestern).
Great list.

those same writers will be blasting Miles at some point this season for doing stupid shite. They sure do have a short memory.
