1. Schlossnagle
2. Fisher

5. …


Oh, wait…

1. Dye
2. Bruce
3. Shug
4. Butch Thompson
5. Tuberville

Tough one. In my lifetime…

1.John H. Vaught (6 SEC titles. NC trophies as well. True winner)
2. Senator Tuberville (people forget how bad the NCAA screwed us)
3. Freeze (didnt win one SEC game the year before he arrived)
4. Kiffin (he had the easiest schedules of all of them and won. Blew games he shouldn’t have but still fun to watch. He is the first coach allowed to pay players. Took great advantage of it with a great eye for talent. Might be autistic)
5. Billy Brewer (so much losing before he arrived. Proved it could be done)

I know a lot of people would question Tuberville but I was there. He had 50 scholarship players and still won. He played with walkons and true freshmen and still competed and won. After 4 years left lots of talent for Cutcliffe. If he had stayed we would’ve won the west. Orgeron turned our talent around in a short time but just wasn’t ready to be a head coach. He was left no talent by Cutcliffe.

Babe McCarthy(1959 & 1962 would have possibly won National Championships had then been allowed to play…both teams finished 24-1 (13-1 SEC) and #3 in the final poll.
Allyn McKeen (65-19 record-1939 to 1948 with the SEC championship in 1941)
Ron Polk (Father of SEC Baseball)
Richard Williams (built State’s basketball program from the ground up in the late 80’s - 90’s culminating in the 1996 Final Four).
Jackie Sherrill (1991-2000) last three years not so much as every thing went south.

I was born in '83, so I'm not going to rank guys I wasn't alive for at Kentucky, like Bear Bryant.

1. Mark Stoops
2. Rich Brooks
3. Hal Mumme
4. Guy Morriss
5. Jerry Claiborne

Only Bill Curry, Joker Phillips, and Will Stein remain as options.

Joker was a disaster. Enough said. Worst UK coach I've seen.

Curry, also a disaster, but my formative years of going to UK football games were his era. I have an autographed Bill Curry glamour shot in a box somewhere at my parents house from going to his summer football camp at UK as a kid.

So I went with Claiborne at 5 because my first UK games as a youngin were when he was coach. My first football memory in my head we were playing either Vanderbilt or LSU here, I just remember the team was yellow, would've been late 80s.

Will Stein obviously hasnt coached a game yet, but based on his recruiting so far, he is going to be on the list real fricking fast.

4. Sampson
5. Kindler(Have to put her here since she's probably about to win her 9th gymnastics natty)

Bud Wilkinson has GOT to be on any OU list...if not at the top.

And Billy Tubbs has got to be in over Kelvin Sampson. He was way more popular with the fan base than Kelvin.

Gym?... as big a deal as it is for OU and as good as they are... your average T-shirt OU fan probably doesn't even know who the women's gym coach is...

1. Kirby Smart
2. Vince Dooley
3. Wally Butts (before my time, but revered amongst the faithful old timers)
4. Mark Richt
5. Erk Russell, with an asterik. Was never a head coach, he was Vince's DC during the championship run back in the day. Ended up at Georgia Southern. Many wanted him back after Vince stepped down. He was a goodun.

1. Nick Saban - 6 national championships @ Bama
2. Bear Bryant - 6 national championships (but I only remember his last couple of years coaching at Bama).
3. Gene Stallings - 1 national (I was a student)
4. Nate Oats - 5 sweet 16s, 2 elite 8s and a final 4 in 7 years (so far) as Bama’s coach. .
5. Wimp Sanderson - 6 sweet 16/

Honorable mention - Jim Wells (baseball); Sarah Patterson (gymnastics)
