Frank Thomas would be the best coach in Auburn history and it isn’t close.

Auburn’s Frank Thomas, despite being a former baseball player, would probably be a better football coach than most Auburn coaches.

I would think with your history of pedophilia, you'd want to avoid casting stones.

Mike Donahue belongs on the list as well.

No doubt about that. Not a single Auburn coach has ever made the CFP.
Yep, zero. Which also happens to be the same number of times Auburn has beaten Deboer. Zero.

You are obsessed with pedophilia. That can’t be attractive to advertisers.

Aren't 95% of your posts tongue in cheek?

Define “almost 20 years.”
How close to 20 are we talking? Because I know of one that happened 14 years ago that lost 49-0

You would think a national champion SEC coach whose name is on the trophy given to the top college coach of the year would make a top 3 list let alone top 10. Coach Bobby Dodd has multiple SEC championships and won the Natty in 1952.

He has two SEC titles and finished #2 in both the AP and Coaches the year they claim a national title (1952). He was a good coach but it's hard to justify his inclusion in the Top 10 considering the fact that the other coaches on the list won the following number of SEC titles:
Bryant - 14
Saban - 11
Spurrier - 6
Neyland - 6
Vaught - 6
Smart - 4
Dooley - 6
Meyer - 2
Thomas - 4
Dye - 4
You can argue that Meyer only has two SEC titles, but he also won BCS national championships in 2006 and 2008. No one disputes those titles. Dodd's national title claim is dubious at best.

Come on now. The way you look at the past titles and call them dubious is exactly what future fans will say about AP, UPI, and BCS titles. Any title not with the moniker of “playoff” before it will be laughed at.
So go ahead and hold the AP as some bastion of merit when everyone knows the AP was nothing but homer newspapers voting for their regional teams. I prefer to use the Scripps award.
Fans of the future won’t count anything before the playoff era because duh why would you.

Never went undefeated, either, fwiw.

Holy frick some LSU fans are very in.love with Lane..it is very, very sad. I mean he has how many SEC tiltes as a head coach, How many National titles as a Head Coach...not even near the top ten....

Put Miles in there somewhere.
Posted on 5/5/26 at 2:29 am to Gatorbait2008
Les Miles, on-field record (not going with the forfeits because of a dumbass player that didn't impact the games)...
he's at or close to this list, near the bottom. If not in, I'd think around 11 or 12.
In all honesty, I'd put him #1 at LSU (LSU career only), ahead of Saban and others. Longer tenure, 2 title shots, probably the best 2-3 non title seasons, and his down year was still 8-5 with a huge beatdown of Ga Tech in Atlanta for the bowl game.

Your strawman of a post is hardly a rebuttal, but an emotional plea to some future events that are hardly set in stone. None of it changes the facts that Bobby Dodd, while a solid head coach, isn't a Top 10 all-timer in the SEC. He had two SEC titles and claims a national title. So what if he has a trophy named after him? His resume is very similar to that of Philip Fulmer's and he isn't included on this list either.
