I think the pecking order is pretty clear at the top.

Saban
Orgeron

Where it gets cloudy is after that. I mean, Fisher has won a NC, but has done little since. Malzahn has coached for a NC, but averages almost 5 losses a year since. Mullen has done a good job at MState and Florida, but has never won his own division. Kirby has coached for a NC and won his division 3 straight years,
and has been the most consistent of everyone outside of Saban and Orgeron.

Personally? I have a TON of respect for Orgeron. He saw a deficiency in his team and went out and fixed it.
That's why I give a clear #1 to Saban and a #2 spot to Orgeron.

#3-#5 gets cloudy. I put Kirby at #3 because he has been very consistent to date, and is winning and seems to be building. It is silly to compare Kirby Smart to any coach other than the ones that are currently coaching. An argument can be made for Fisher to be #3 because he has won a NC. I am not sure an argument can be made for Mullen....YET. Malzahn? No. He has got to be more consistent.

I agree with all of this.

To me, Fisher winning a national championship at Florida State isnt that huge of a deal because he doesnt seem to be doing that great of a job at his current school.

We dont rank Miles as a top 10 CFB coach just because he won a championship at LSU.

Absolutely. At one time he seemed to be the up and coming coach. The hot young coach. but it is looking more like he just caught lightening in the bottle, now.

As I said....the more impressive thing for me is Orgeron making a change. he saw a weakness, and he moved to correct it quickly and got paid for it. (Or will get paid for it) Coaches are notoriously egotistical people, as a whole. tehy have to have supreme confidence in their ability to coach and make great decisions. yet, Orgeron put his ego aside to find a solution to his offensive problems and then stepped out of the way of his coaches so they could do their job.

I think when Kirby Smart gets more experience under his belt he will be an excellent coach. We'll see. he made some moves to correct our offensive woes this off season, so it will be interesting to see what happens....if we get the chance.

I think we are basically on the same page. I just think you are letting some Georgia fans get you upset.
