Why not?
Neyland
173–31–12
4 NCs, 5 SEC titles
Spurrier
226–85–2
1 NC, 1 ACC title, 6 SEC titles
Subjectively, I think you could argue that the era in which Spurrier coached was much tougher than the era in which Neyland coached. You also have two consider that Spurrier took to bad/mediocre programs (Duke, USC) and turned them in to consistent winners in his time there. Also, it's not like UF was a yearly powerhouse when he arrived
Really, I'd only put Spurrier below Bryant and Saban

yup, neyland coached in a much easier era when a handful of schools monopolized talent and exposure.
i also rank saban ahead of bryant. can you imagine saban coaching in an era where he could have an even bigger talent advantage?
i don't think we would look at bryant the same way if he could only have 85 on scholarship.
