I feel its a fair list

Looks pretty accurate to me.
Don’t sleep on Bucky McMillan at A&M. Really good X’s and O’s coach and a great motivator that should have the Aggies as serious contenders in the next few years.

Chris Beard was only a Matt McMahon away from having the worst team in the SEC, but yeah, sure.

Chris Beard took Ole Miss to their second sweet 16 in school history in two years. He is at the worst basketball school in the conference. When he leaves and gets another big time job, he will go back to winning at the high clip he was before Ole Miss

Bucky hasn't proved anything yet. He made the tournament, and the round of 32. It is his first year. It will get better. Byington at eight is criminal considering that he is up for some great coaching positions.

Nates Oats is second? At what? Covering up crime?

The only person who you could put ahead of Oats is Barnes

Agreed..He had a ton to fix though. But as long as a higher profile job does not snatch him up Texas A&M will be a very good team soon.

Beard way too high

A&M recently redid Bucky's contract. I will be harder for another program to take him as long as we give him the NIL

He took Texas Tech to the finals and was national runner-up.
If you take Texas Tech to the finals and Ole Miss to the sweet 16 you are a pretty good coach.

So if you're going by recent results, missing the tournament 2 of the last 3 years seems like it should result in a lower ranking than this
Seemed like Beard was graded more on the "all-time" curve
Also Mike White seems a little high, made the tourney last 2 years but hasnt won a tournament game between UGA and UF the last 5 years

He said this was a "Current" ranking not "all time"
If we're digging back to 8-9 years ago thats not exactly "current"

Gates too high.

Well then is it based on currently or factoring in all time? You're kind of stepping on your dick here with the parameters that you set in the OP.
For that here's a downvote. GFYS

He also had us rolling prior to the incident that got him fired. Like him or not he is a good coach with real skins on the wall. Making a Natty game is huge and a big run and took Ole miss to a sweet 16, this year was terrible but he gets the benefit of the doubt for sure.
