Not bashing Kelly, but 6 seems high for what he's accomplished.

Who would you put higher than him?
Looking at the options I don’t see a clear cut answer. I think 6 is right on for Kelly.

Heupel beat #1, #3, and #6 in year 2 with a so-so roster. You can't ask for more than that.

1/1 in SEC West Championships is alright.
Natty appearance, multiple CFP appearances and 6 straight 10-win seasons is okay, too.
BK should be at #4 with Ryan Day and Jim Harbaugh behind him.

How is Jimbo Fisher in the top 50?
Posted on 5/25/23 at 3:31 pm to TailbackU
Lea is better than 64 but he coaches Vandy.

Because this is the year Jimbo and Bobby coaching together at Texas A&M and should shine on their way to a top 15 at the end of this season.

He got a raise after losing 5 of his last 6 games so he must be REALLY good

Sorry but you're #2 per the article. Besides #2 just feels right for UGA.

Lincoln Riley at least.

The guy who said Kirby can't be considered a great coach solely because of losing to Butch Jones in year 1.

What makes Lincoln better?

Definitely need to see more out of Heupal before I put him in the top ten. Another 9+ win season and he’s a lock.
