I will not count the interim coach we had for one season, mainly because I have blocked that whole fiasco out of my mind...but as far as our last 5 legit coaches...
1. Bret Bielema
2. Bobby Petrino
3. Houston Nutt
4. Danny Ford
5. Jack Crowe

Interim coach somewhere? I thought Arnsparger was before Archer.

I will give this a whirl in a few ways.
In order of Xs and Os:
1. Bowden
2. Dye
3. Tubs
4. Malzahn
5. Chizik
In order of overall coaching (recruiting, Xs and Os, gamely prep):
1. Dye
2. Tubs
3. Malzahn
4. Bowden
5. Chizik
Dye is the best of the last 5 and arguably one of the best ever at Auburn.
Bowden was a great field coach but miserable little frick and the players hated him. Facts are facts though, the dude won a lot of games and did a lot of really good things.
Tubs, in my opinion, was more a recipient of a down period of the SEC. Alabama was pretty irrelevant, recruiting wasn't held with such regard, Spurrier left UF pretty early in Tubs' tenure, Tennessee was still good and the rest of the SEC really wasn't amazing. 2004 was a great team and possibly one of the best, not only, in Auburn history but SEC and NCAA history but the let down of 2003 cost them a chance at the championship. For every great game he won, he lost an inexplicable game that was far more heartbreaking.
Malzahn is a young coach that hasn't been around a long time and I think he can get the job done given time, but will the fans give him time? He was been a part of two national championship games in 6 years at Auburn and I don't think that is a coincidence.
Chizik deserves credit for assembling a really good coaching staff and winning a championship but he also shoulders the blame for falling so far so fast. he lost the team completely two years removed from a championship and that loses a lot of respect from me too.

Last 5 for AU:
Pat Dye 1981-1992 99 39 4 0.71127
SEC Champs: '83, '87 co-champs '88, '89
Terry Bowden 1993-1998 47 17 1 0.73077
Won 20 consecutive games, but no hardware due to probation from Pat Dye
Tommy Tuberville 1999-2008 85-40 0 0.68000
SEC-W Champ-'00, SEC Champ-'04
Gene Chizik 2009-2012 33 19 0 0.63462
SEC, National Champs - '10
Gus Malzahn 2013-2015 27 13 0 0.67500
SEC Champs - '13
My Ranking:
1. Tuberville - had a good run, polls kept him from getting a ring
2. Dye - best percentage, most consistent, but left us on probation
3. Malzahn - not sure where else to put him. can move up or down the list this season
4. Chizik - he kept shite from falling apart in the circus of 2010
5. Bowden - if gameday was the only part of coaching, he'd be near the top of the list

I certainly don't feel that way. Dooley was definitely better than Richt IMO.

Interesting topic. What makes you feel this way? Not arguing or saying you're wrong, I just want a UF perspective on it.
Zook was a steady 7/8 win per year guy but that was about it. WM had way lower lows, but did have the 2012 season where you got to #2 and played in a BCS bowl.

I really feel that Richt was a better coach as well, but Walker or no Walker, a long tenured coach with an NC trumps one without.

This is my ranking, though at the end of their careers I think Shula will have been a better coach than Fran.

1. Bret Bielema (this is a stretch to place him over Petrino at this point, but I am a firm believer in our current coach. 39 players drafted, despite being a HC for less than 10 years, and never once cracking the top 20 in recruiting rankings tells me this guy is a damn good at spotting talent and developing it. I think he will prove to be better than Petrino)
2. Bobby Petrino
3. Houston Nutt
4. Danny Ford
5. John L. Smith (interim coach, I know, but he did basically receive a one year job interview and failed miserably. That guy didn't even know which school he was coaching while he was here.)
agreed.... my list exactly
