I have no real argument with that list, though Sherrill's "You can't prove it" will always and forever screw up my opinion. It's just hard for me to pick him #1 given the sanctions that resulted. On the other hand, I went to a lot of Cotton Bowls during his tenure, and it is hard to overlook that.
Bible only if you want to go back that far, but I'm not sure you can compare a coach in 1939 to today.
Emory Bellard was my favorite, but I'm biased because he was there when I was and because of his personality. I ran into him several times and he always stopped me to ask how I was doing, like we were lifelong acquaintances. That made a very big impression on me.
Honorable mention at the least: RC. Good coach, gentleman, never had any NCAA problems. In the "favorite" list he'd be right behind Bellard.
For me the "greatest" will soon be Kevin Damn Sumlin if it isn't already, and it isn't really close.

finestfirst79, I was a small kid when Ballard was there. My dad was at A&M after getting out of the army/Vietnam. My younger brother and I were sitting on the second row on the track when Ags beat UT 20-10. Was a crushing blow to lose to Arkansas later.
I am a Ballard fan also. Sherril was the coach when I was at A&M and I was at the Cotton Bowl vs Auburn and Notre Dame. Awesome teams and awesome times. Ags ruled the SWC under Sherril.
Sherrill is my personal favorite.
After suffering through so much offensive incompetence under RC I have a hard time saying he is one of our greatest coaches. Good guy... I agree.
Kevin Sumlin may turn out to be our greatest. He is certainly off to a great start.
