And why? I'll go first:

1) Coach Bryant - No explanation necessary.
2) Coach Wallace Wade - 3 NC's, and put Southern football on the map.
3) Coach Saban - What he has done with the progam in the last two seasons is incredible. But Bebes Stallings is a close 4th.

Saban
McClendon
Dietzel

Edit: This isn't in any particular order and McClendon is "Cholly Mac" for the uninitiated.

1) Bobby Bowden
2) Mickey Andrews
3) Mark Richt

Hopefully we'll soon be able to add another HC to that list.

Shug - longest tenure, MNC, most wins
Dye - dominant run in 80's
Tubbs - good run in 2000's, undefeated season

1) Richt
2) Wally Butts?
3) Van Gorder or Dooley I guess.

This is a pretty tough question.

1) Paul Dietzel - put LSU football on the map, innovated use of multiple teams, delivered MNC and Heisman

2) Nick Saban - put LSU football back on the map, delivered two conference championships and MNC, erected Louisiana fence

3) Charles McClendon - winningest coach in LSU football history

Honorable mention: Les Miles for the 07 MNC. Sucking balls the last two years prevents him from cracking the top three.

NEYLAND (even Bear Bryant admired him).
Fulmer (he got us a National championship).
Majors (brought back the program from the abyss)
Dooley (will bring us back to the top...

Doc Fenton put Southern football on the map, a-hole. And Heisman put GT on the map after that.

(In no order)

Lou Holtz
Barry Switzer
Jimmy Johnson
Frank Broyles
Ken Hatfield
Bobby Petrino

Take your pick

Throw in Danny Ford if you want since he has a NC and was thrown in the fires of trying to move Arkansas from the SWC to SEC.
