re: Name a coach from a team other than your own that you always had tremendous respect for

Nick Saban. Honestly, do have a lot of respect for him.

Thought his Vegas moneyline crap for playoff resume was stupid crap. Not so much before they chose the teams, but bringing it up again in the summer after the season was over was just ridiculous.

But other than that, thought he was a good ambassador for the game and is the GOAT.

Bob Stoops. Outside of his problems with "SEC bias", thought he ran a really good program and seems to be a good person from a good family.
