I'd say Neyland is overrated. Only one national title recognized by a credible, major poll. Spurrier also only has one title and he burnt out everywhere he went.

Sabin owes his life to Denardos recruiting classes and ESPN hyping him through the years !

Yeah, "Denardo" recruited very well at Alabama. "Sabin" is lucky to have followed him everywhere he went.

Don't argue with a retard. I like this place but there are more trolls here than I thought there would be.

Pat Dye was not overrated at all. I think the argument could be made he was underrated. He had a couple of teams that easily could have won national titles if the odds had been in their favor nationally.
I agree with this. Pat Dye is also one of the most respected coaches within coaching circles which says a lot on its own.

He was an incredibly innovative and successful coach who has a lasting legacy in the SEC and nation (despite taking 2 hiatuses from coaching to serve overseas). He's right up there as one of the best defensive coaches of all time

Vaught by far.

Bear could take his and beat yours and then take yours and beat his. Even Saban can't do that and no one with a lick of sense will say Saban is overrated so there we are.
I don't agree with this statement. Bear Bryant was not overrated because he prepared his teams to win like no other. Simply flipping the chess board is not what made him great.

Thanks for exhibiting your vast knowledge of college football history.

Look, I like to shite on Ole Miss as much as anyone, in fact I have an entire tList on the subject, but Vaught is one of the greatest in SEC History.
It's a shame the stadium named after him is so pathetic. You think he'd approve of hanging a co-division championship banner? frick no.

Saban, all the talent in the universe and still loses a game a year

Bear by a long shot. Benefited from unlimited recruiting and scholarships, a time when college football was not as big as it is now for other schools, coached during some very bad times for other SEC schools.
Not saying he wasn't good, just that he wasn't the unbeatable god that many claim him to be and would be mediocre at best if he was coaching today.

Dude should have won an national title at Kentucky.
Ken-freakin'-tucky.
Your argument is invalid.

In his first 7 seasons of coaching at Tennessee, he goes 61-1-5. That means he won 91% of his games the first 7 years.
From 1938-1940, he wins 3 consecutive SEC championships (going 31-2 during that period).
He then resigns from coaching to fight in the army for 5 years (winning The Distinguished Service Medal, The Legion of Merit, being named a member of The Order of The British Empire). He resigns from the army to come back to coaching and wins the SEC in his first year. Within 5 years, he wins 2 consecutive SEC championships along with a National Championship (going 22-2).
He left coaching during the prime of his career, got into a completely different career (on another continent) and excelled...then half a decade later, came back to win a NC. How hard would it be for Saban to be successful if he were to quit coaching today, move to Indonesia for 5 years to build villages, then come back to coaching in 2021 and immediately win a conference championship?
