I know he won a championship but come thr frick on.
born on Third and then given 20 million dollar roster and still needed the expanded playoffs to win.

Obvious ragebait list

I don’t think Ryan day is number one but fat Josh being number two(above two different guys with two nattys) is wayyyy more egregious

I get Sark hasn’t won the big one but 29? Even and Aggie or Sooner wouldn’t put him that low.

Do not often agree with the aggies. However that list is like ESPN lately. Not worth a thing.

Just read the article. He makes a few good points, although I would never put Heupel above Smart.

These two being that high invalidates the list.
They are not in the top 20.

Is the troll here intentionally leaving off DeBoer at 13?

There isn’t an AD in the country that would take Day over Kirby or Sark.
Day was hours away from being fired last year.
Absolute joke of a list.

There is no good point to explain putting Heupel above Kirby, it’s click/rage bate.

This counts as a Tennessee championship btw we have to stop with the 1998 stuff now

The troll is placing Heupel/UT at #2.
