I'm going to list the coaches who won the last 20 national championships (will be slightly more than 20 titles due to split awards). I want you to point out just which ones you consider as "great" coaches. Now think about how many other coaches will NEVER win a national title, yet some of these jackasses did.
Nick Saban - 5 times
Urban Meyer - 3 times
Pete Carroll - 2 times
Mack Brown - 1 time
Gene Chizik - 1 time
Jimbo Fisher - 1 time
Les Miles - 1 time
Jim Tressel - 1 time
Larry Coker - 1 time
Bob Stoops - 1 time
Bobby Bowden - 1 time
Phillip Fulmer - 1 time
Lloyd Carr - 1 time
Steve Spurrier - 1 time
Tom Osborne - 1 time
Now, I'll list the ones who are currently college football head coaches:
Nick Saban
Urban Meyer
Jimbo Fisher
Bob Stoops
Now, a comment on the stratification of college football:
The last 5 1st time winners of national titles:
Florida : 1996
Florida State: 1993
Colorado : 1990
BYU: 1984
Miami: 1983
It's interesting to note that 3 of the 5 teams are from Florida, a state which rapidly grew during the period. It's also interesting to note that there have been ZERO new national title winners since the BCS/Playoff format has been adopted.
Compare this to 1st time winners in NCAA basketball:
Florida: 2006
Syracuse: 2003
Maryland: 2002
Uconn: 1999
Arizona: 1997
That's 5 new winners in the past 20 years.

I'd say Saban, Meyer, Carroll, Spurrier, osbourne, and bowden in their prime are on another level as coaches go in that group. Fisher and tressel are great coaches but not on those other guys level, or at least not yet but fisher could get there. Stoops is a notch lower but still good. Miles, carr, and mack were better than the rest on the list but were blessed at being at great schools but we're able to be consistent for awhile there so I'd say they're average. The rest on the list won with superior talent on fluke seasons. Now I'm not chasing a natty. That's not where our expectations should be. But to have one 9-11 win season every 4 or 5 seasons with a chance at a new years day bowl, and a couple mediocre seasons in between is what I expect at least and I don't think that's asking too much, and I guarantee you I good coach could do that.
