If you hold not winning the biased AP against him, then John Vaught. Though the NCAA does recognize him as a national champion.

This seems to be getting a lot of downvotes, don't know why.

It's hard to fathom that neither guy won a title; I honestly thought Schembechler did.

Mike Gundy, Bill Snyder, Art Briles, Shaw, Peterson, Franklin all come to mind nationally

SEC? Pretty much every good coach that comes to mind has won a title. The only one is probably Richt.

Probably won't be popular, and he's certainly not THE best coach to not win, but Petrino pre motorcycle crash was one of the best offensive minds in college football. Every week you knew it was 30 points minimum. Didn't matter if he had a mature QB that could read defenses and call audibles (Mallett) or the polar opposite of that (Wilson). He just didn't give a rat's arse about the other side of the ball.

2002, too.

Not a glitzy team but they would have hung with OSU no problem.

Mike Gundy: I don’t think he’s ever had a top 15 recruiting class but has had more 10 win seasons that UT + A&M + Tech combined since he’s been there. He was a 4th down top away from the playoffs last year. Don’t think there’s a coach that more consistently exceeds their recruiting rankings.

If you are talking 2002 UGA, that was definitely an NC caliber team. Would’ve loved a playoff that year but for one dropped pass UGA was perfect. Loved Terrance Edwards but man he shoulda caught that one in Jax.

Yeah that's what I meant.

Not a dominant team by any measure but nobody really was in 2002.

Nick Saban

Oh my bad...I thought you meant win one clean. Without being a cheating son of a bitch at a filthy program.

STFU, you filthy Bama a-hole. Your coach and program are a disgrace. Both are absolutely filthy.

Bama deserved the death penalty five times over. Nich Saban is the dirtiest cheating bastard to ever stand on a sideline.
