national title contenders?

I don't mean to irritate any fan base, but I think Jimbo Fisher is a possibility. Riley, at OU, is capable. Kirby Smart will probably get over the hump and produce pretty consistent contenders.

I don't pay much attention anymore to college football other than the SEC. Who are some other coaches that might be close to elite status?

Kirby is already over the hump as far as I'm concerned. Georgia was good enough to win it all last year and they were obviously good enough to win it all in 2017.

In terms of who is consistently going to have their team in the conversation late in the year, I think you named all the proven ones.

Saban
Dabo
Meyer
Riley
Smart
Fisher

Maybe add Chris Petersen

Beyond that group are those who may be capable but haven’t done it yet or haven’t done it consistently:

Mullen
Herman
Franklin
Harbaugh
Shaw
Kelly
Malzahn
Cristobal

If Peterson went to a better school he certainly could.

Smart brings in enough talent so he should be able to eventually but has to work out some kinks.

Mullen has to get more better at recruiting but can game plan with the best of them.

Fisher can recruit he may be a force once he has the train rolling in Aggie land.

Ed O has LSU about where Les had them. I think if Saban retired LSU would instantly become title contenders. Their issue has always been beating Saban in the West.

Riley and OU are right there on the brink...get some defense and they will be on that list

Herman as well at Texas may be inching closer to elite status. Had a great second year. See how he does year three.


But really...It's Dabo, Saban, Meyer, and the rest for now. Others have a lot to prove before they are in their realm.

I'll add in chip Kelly. I think a few others could compete at the right programs like Petersen, Patterson, leach
