I did note that Neyland had 2 "tours of duty" with UT.
I agree that the choice between the 2 is debatable. I chose Spurrier because he had 1 more SECC in fewer years at UF, requiring a championship game victory. As well he had a 7% higher winning %. He also changed the culture of the SEC with his type of offensive football. Also, the job he did at USC was, on balance, impressive. Neyland was a truly great coach, but his teams did not perform well on the national stage as the 2-5 record in major bowl games indicates.

He also took a leave of absence at the peak of his career to fight in WW2. You cannot put Neyland behind Spurrier and be taken seriously.
