quote:

1. Nick Saban
2. Steve Spurrier
3. Mark Richt
4. Kevin Sumlin
5. James Franklin
6. Dan Mullen
7. Les Miles
8. Bret Bielema
9. Hugh Freeze
10. Will Muschamp
11. Butch Jones
12. Gary Pinkel
13. Gus Malzahn
14. Mark Stoops



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.

In addition, in re Sumlin, Franklin, and Mullen, you forgot to mention that that group owns precisely 0 wins over Miles.
