Top 5 coach in football? Nah, probably not. But he deserves a shite ton of respect for what he does.
He is 75-73 as a head coach in his career. He was ran out of town at Ole Miss after he refused to fire his assistants and never got past being a middle tier program after so many seasons at Ole Miss. He was nothing more than underwhelming even after having Eli Manning a future Super Bowl winning QB. Mark Richt's resume takes an utter shite on this dudes resume and Richt isn't even in this guys Top 14. Blasphemy. It literally took him 6 years to post a winning season at Duke and that is after years of winning 3 or 4 games max and he could never win in the SEC. I don't understand the adoration with this guy. He makes solid QB's but has proven that he has issues building defenses. I wouldn't put him on any high tier coaching list because he has proven nothing as a head coach outside of not being able to put away Texas A&M after building a HUGE lead.

after winning 10 games. Dumbest move they've ever made.

it's ole miss for shite's sake. They ARE a middle tier program and that's all they'll ever be.

If you're gonna go that route, people should give richt more shite simply because we had a #1 pick at QB and never won the east

Yeah I agree richt should be on there. I also agree that silly, trivial lists like this don't matter as it's just one dude's opinion. I haven't even seen the list or clicked the link...I was simply saying Cutcliffe is a very good coach.
quote:

lol...that's actually quite an accomplishment.
In the last 50 years of duke football (not including cut), they had only won more than 6 games in a season 3 times, 2 were spurrier. Last year cut won more games in a season than ANY OTHER SEASON in duke history. At duke! It would be akin to someone taking south carolina to the final 4 in basketball.

his track record against us speaks for itself, that's all I need to know (or care about).
UT OC from 93-98
ole miss head coach til 04 (nothing noteworthy)
UT OC 06-07
We beat UT 4 out of richt's first 5 times. A few of them we were easily in control throughout. Cut comes back for 2 years and flat out, absolutely embarasses our defense back to back years. Year after he left we held them to 14 points.

longevity is not appreciated like it use to be
Longevity, in and of itself, isn't really anything to celebrate. It shows nothing on its face: is someone staying on because they are successful; or because they are simply well-connected; or because they aren't really that good, but there's no better option to replace them; or because they are the most affordable; or because higher-ups fear change; etc., etc., etc.
You can make a decent argument that Richt's longevity is because of his success - he's had a lot of winning seasons, and the program is generating a lot of money.
But, you can make an equally decent argument that his longevity is because of some other reason like connections or fear of change - for all of his "success," he's never won a title during the same span when his peers have racked up a bunch of them; there have been lagging problems with discipline, execution, and conditioning throughout his tenure; plus, his teams always seem to be in the process of rebuilding without ever actually getting there.

yes...

what kind of connections? Like he has dirt on someone so that's why he's still here? That's laughable.
quote:
or fear of change
That's a very valid reason, IMO. For every Nick Saban out there, there's about 10 derek dooley or ron zooks
quote:

We obviously all want a title. That doesn't have anything to do with his longevity. And his peerS aren't racking up a bunch, Nick Saban has racked up a bunch.
quote:

That's stupid
quote:
execution
liiiikee....not scoring a TD on every play? Every cfb team ever struggles with execution..in every game. I'd say our numbers will show we've executed pretty darn well since he's been here. Defense? That's another story, and I believe 95% of dawg fans are happy that our most recent 'lack of execution' problem is no longer here.
quote:
and conditioning
also silly.
quote:

Every team except bama under saban and UF under meyer has had to "rebuild" do some extent. And hell even UF in 07 lost 4 games. Unless your roster is filled to the brim with 4 and 5 stars like bama's is now..there will be growing pains. Hell look at LSU last year.

Yea, Richt should be somewhere in that list but not sure he deserves top 10. There's likely a prevalent opinion that Mark has done less with more. I don't necessarily agree with it but I think that's the perception. My problem with that perception is I think it's based on the talent we have recruited and not the talent on the field; there is a significant difference between the two.

Steve Spurrier won at Duke
And he's one of the best coaches in the country right now. I fail to see this as an arguing point.

Duke right now is merely an eye brow raiser not something to hang your coaching credentials upon
It absolutely is. Getting 9 wins at Duke is an incredible accomplishment.

The Dantonio hate in this thread makes me sad. I'd murder a family of innocents for him. And Narduzzi.
Posted on 6/24/14 at 3:39 pm to Damn Good Dawg
I don't hate him, I just don't think he should be ranked as high as he is.
Posted on 6/24/14 at 3:45 pm to gatorhata9
He became one of my favorites when he beat ND on the fake FG. I just really like him and if he goes to USCe after Spurrier I am going to drink myself to death.

No he does not. IMO he should have been fired already. A top 10 coach rarely deserves to be fired.

Dantonio and Cutcliffe
Dantonio deserves 100% to be on that list. He took over a flaky program that always collapsed under the immortal John Lol Smith and has built it into a powerhouse. At the end of last season, they may have been the second best team in America, despite being the second program in a weak HS football state. He will never beat Michigan and OSU in recruiting wars because they're Michigan and OSU, but his teams kick their asses on the field. He's been mentioned as a possible successor to Spurrier at USCe, and as a UGA fan, I want no part of playing a Dantonio team every season. MSU will always have a nasty, mean, physical defense as long as he's around, and they'll always have a chance to win the Big 10.

14. Riley, (NO) 88-73 record and could get fired this year. 6. Briles, 78-60, all offense and not a damn bit of defense, and 4. Shaw, good coach but took over a steam engine that Harbaugh built and has not prove enough by himself. I really hate the guy but to have the Old Ballsack behind David Cutclife is crazy. The Ballsack built two progams into powerhouses.

did you watch our last bowlgame?
he is mid SEC at best and maybe soon to be passed by the UT HC

We lost the bowl game because the players didn't feel like playing in it. They had NC dreams when the season started, and without the injuries they had a shot of being there. They didn't give a shite about playing the cornhuskers, and we still almost beat them with half arse effort. Richt's major fault is loyalty, he gives his coaches a chance to prove themselves instead of giving them the boot. Imagine if your boss dropped your arse for having a bad season. He sounds like an awesome boss, just sucks that we haven't won the big one. He learns more every year and he's starting to take the bull by the horns and do what is necessary to win. I bet we play for the SEC again soon.
