1) David Shaw - Only because he is one of the highest paid coaches
2) Jim Harbaugh - Became widely lauded** for beating Ohio state ONCE only to get destroyed in CFP
3) Brian Kelly - Has never won a NY6 bowl and has made a living beating up on sub par teams. Has gotten exposed nearly every time he played a good team.

The “I inherited my dad’s Ferrari and I just haven’t wrecked it yet” club

4) Lincoln Riley - inherited program from Bob Stoops. Had an easy path to playoff most years but has gotten exposed every time except once.
5) Ryan Day - Same.

Really sounds a lot like Jimbo at A&M.

Jimbo did beat North Carolina for the NY6 bowl win but Kelly also beat that same team by two touchdowns when they actually had most of their best players.

I would say that Jimbo has a better win or two (like 2021 Alabama) but he also lost to 4 less talented teams that same year.

Also, Brian Kelly has never ran from Wake Forest.

Eh, he was widely lamented for what he did at Stanford and then going to a super bowl. Him beating Michigan was more in the realm of, “well it’s about time, took you long enough.” I don’t think he’s particularly rated very favorably like he used to be when Michigan first hired him

Sure it was an accident but you left Jimbo Fisher off the list.

Hey Col. Ingus, I'm glad you got (and still have) Jimbo.

And I'm happy with Brian Kelly.

And most non-Aggies on this site would agree w/me...

LOL the man is 35-4 and been to the CFB playoffs in 2 of his 3 years. If he inherited a "ferrari" he has certainly improved it with his recruitment and staff improvements. He fired his entire defensive staff last year except for the legendary DL coach, Larry Johnson and replaced them with incoming DC Jim Knowles, Safety coach Perry Eliano ( who coached cincys lockdown secondary), and CB coach Tim Walton from Jacksonville, whom Jalen Ramsey said was his best coach ever. Meyer never would have done that. If their defensive even improves slightly they will probably win the natty this year with that offense.

Have to think there will be a change there if Stanford sucks again.
