What a shitty, shitty ranking.
Clearly Les should be behind Muschamp.

Saban is going to be a consensus #1. Considering his career body of work I understand putting Spurrier #2 so I won't argue that even though he's not really been exceptional at South Carolina overall.
But ranking Miles #7? They drop Miles to #7?
behind guys who have never won a NC (#s 3 thru 6)?
behind guys who never won the SEC (#s 4 thru 6)?
behind guys who never won their own division (#s 4 thru 6)?
This seems near impossible to defend. Miles has excelled in the hardest division in college football for eight years now... no matter what you think of his habit for malapropisms and eccentricity there's no justifying that level of disrespect with his results.

FWIW if I ranked them I'd probably do something like:
1. Nick Saban
2. Steve Spurrier
3. Les Miles
4. Mark Richt
5. Kevin Sumlin
6. Bret Bielema
7. Will Muschamp
8. James Franklin
9. Gary Pinkel
10. Hugh Freeze
11. Dan Mullen
12. Butch Jones
13. Gus Malzahn
14. Mark Stoops
I'm squishy on Spurrier vs Miles but for his career going back to Florida I gave Spurrier the nod.
Richt I put at #4 because he's had a number of exceptional seasons at UGA.
I'm not real sold there's a big difference between #s 5 thru 7 either... seeing as Muschamp went into College Station and beat Sumlin last year I could understand a gator fan thinking he should be ranked #5.
I could also understand people not respecting Bielema as the #6 coach but he did have a lot of success at Wisconsin so I made a guess that he's going to be solid at Arkansas. I'm guessing many will think Pinkel is too high at #9 but last year was far and away his worst season so I don't want to be reactionary when overall he's proved more than guys ranked #8 and #s 10 thru 14 (as a head coach).

It seems like wehave more coaches rankings come out these days than college football polls, it's getting kinda old

There are a ton of great coaches in the SEC... and I'm not necessarily saying muschamp is better than 4 thru 14, but what he did last year was arguably "coach of the year" worthy.
We had just... nothing on offense and a couple great players on defense... and he turned us around from an atrocious 7-win-team into a national championship game contender. We were (IMO) clearly much worse than Georgia, Alabama, and probably at least another 15 teams in the country. And yet our blind resume was very arguably better than Alabama's and Georgia's going into the SECCG. (Though Bama's was definitely better after beating UGA.)
