Les Miles accidentally making the list twice is the most Les Miles thing that could have Les Miled.

Replace one of the Les Miles or Sherrill with Mark Richt.

He’s 8th all time in wins in conference and 16th in percentage.

10. Paul Dietzel

I truly loved that man. He's smiling down on us from above.

One of the greatest human beings to ever walk the face of the earth. One of the most ethical, moral, honest men in this country's history ... bar none.

I think Les Miles and Pat Dye should replace Vaught and Dietzel.

Any coach who could take an Ole Miss and win 6 SEC titles and a national title is top 3 easy.

The NCAA recognizes us as the national champion of 1960.

The NCAA isn’t the authority to give out football nattys.

No, they are irrelevant. The AP, Coaches, BCS, and now CFP are how we determine who wins nattys. Ole Miss has never won a natty. And it’s not that impressive to win SEC Championships before integration.
