So which one is the greatest? Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer and Pete Carroll have all coached college national champions and Super Bowl champions. Nick Saban has coached college national champions and was an absolute joke as an NFL coach - one of the worst to ever put on headphones.

Surely that eats on Saban that he is fourth at best. Does he give the Gumps one more season and then give it another try in the NFL?

As a CFB fan I'd say Saban.

If I was a Rantard I'd say anyone but Saban.

"I think we just won the national championship!"

Looks like Carroll did something Saban could not and never could.

Didn't Barry basically take over what Jimmy had built? I would say JJ gets a nod right now. Carroll is still coaching so let's see what happens.

eta: I misread the OP maybe. I didn't see Saban's name...If it is college ball I give it to Saban, Switzer, JJ and Carroll in that order.

Add in pro JJ, Carroll, Switzer, Saban

Quit dick riding former Arky coaches and their success in the NFL.

Your pathetic dreams of Saban leaving are matched only by your ignorance. Congrats.

Sorry, but I don't see Pete Carrol holding the BCS trophy in January of 2004. So what BCS national championship did he win in the BCS era?

So all three of the only coaches to ever win a natty in college and win the super bowl either coached or played at Arkansas.

If you'll excuse me, I have some T-shirts to print mother frickers

absolute joke and one of the worst? Compare the 04 Dolphins and the 05 Dolphins records. He didn't light the NFL on fire but one of the worst is crazy.

The greatest? Jimmy Johnson bar none IMO. Those Cowboy teams in 92 and 93 were fricking incredible.

Carroll is right behind him.

BIG GAP



Switzer

Saban

If we're just comparing college careers then Saban is obviously not last. However, given the full resume including NFL success, then Saban easily falls short.
