CBS Sports Throneroom anoints King of Coaches

Guess Top 5 Coaches


Nick Saban: The thing about sitting on the throne is that everybody else wants your spot, which makes it so difficult to keep it. Year after year, coaches and programs are coming. They're trying to be the next Bama. Well, to this point, Saban hasn't lost his spot. He's won five national titles with the Crimson Tide and six overall. The program he's built at Alabama has been so dominant that, when it missed out on the College Football Playoff for the first time in history, you could almost hear a gasp across the entire country. Alabama is the standard to which every other program holds itself, and that's due to the expectations Saban sets forth for his program. Until it falters, fat chance unseating the king. 2019 rank was also # 1

Ed Orgeron: Orgeron climbs 26 spots to No. 4 in our rankings, and gosh, I just can't figure out why that happened! Maybe it’s something to do with winning a national title last year with what might have been the greatest team in college football history? That's just theory, though. In all sincerity, Orgeron is a fantastic story. Nobody thought he'd be a head coach again after his failure at Ole Miss, and many believed LSU blew it when they missed out on Jimbo Fisher and then Tom Herman, instead retaining Orgeron full-time after a stint as interim coach. But Orgeron did something so few people are capable of accomplishing. He not only recognized his past mistakes, but he actively went out of his way to solve them. He looked at his program, saw shortcomings and found ways to improve it. Then he reaped the rewards. 2019 rank: 30 (+26)

King of CBS Thrones
a sarcastic tribute

Nicky sitting high on that CBS $hitter
The Score 44-16 and he felt so bitter
Who guessed Tua would be a quitter
And CBS still name Nick throne sitter

Saban ranked number one after 2018
Given a worst beating SEC ever seen
In 2019 three Tigers ate up his spleen
Nicky cried it’s Unfair and so so Mean

But it’s ok Nicky CBS say you still rule
Your offense run by Sarkisian the Fool
CBS claims you give Coaching School
Pete Golden a cutting edge killing Tool

Don’t cry the college game past you by
Don’t sigh on hows or the reasons why
A Crimson Tide Swan Song looms nigh
Just Quit like Tua and then go Bye Bye

Saban-tooth Tiga you don’t rule the zoo
You’re passed it, now O wears the shoe
Tigers, Dogs, and Gators eating on You
Get the Telegram Fool You are Through

We’ll all watch your Last Hurrah in 2020
You’ll face Revenge Beatings too Plenty
Make em quit payback in Bryant Denny
No mercy for that King about to turn 70
