As much as I hate to admit it, with a body of work going on 10 seasons, I don’t see how anyway he can put Kirby anything other than number one. He has been by far the most consistent championship level coach.

Interesting article. Was surprised to see Gary Pinkel so high on the list as well. Especially ahead of Urban and Harbaugh.


1. Nick Saban 17 10.7 30.9 18.8
2. Chris Petersen 14 12.8 17.3 14.6
3. Kirby Smart 9 6.0 27.0 14.4
4. Gary Pinkel 11 12.5 16.3 14.0
5. Urban Meyer 13 4.8 26.4 13.4
6. Jim Harbaugh 13 8.5 19.1 12.7
7. Bob Stoops 12 5.3 22.5 12.2
8. James Franklin 14 7.3 18.1 11.6
9. Les Miles 14 6.6 18.6 11.4
10. Dabo Swinney 16 6.0 19.0 11.2
11. Art Briles 11 12.8 8.1 10.9
12. Bobby Petrino 12 9.5 13.0 10.9
13. Steve Spurrier 11 8.2 14.4 10.7
14. Dan Mullen 13 7.2 15.9 10.7
15. Gary Patterson 17 8.6 13.6 10.6
16. Mark Richt 14 4.4 19.7 10.5
17. Lane Kiffin 13 7.2 13.0 9.5
18. Brian Kelly 20 6.0 14.4 9.3
19. Jimbo Fisher 14 2.4 19.3 9.2
20. Mack Brown 15 4.5 15.4 8.9

There is no good point to explain putting Heupel above Kirby


So you didn't read the article. He is clear about his methods. Even so, I would still put Smart above Hypel. But the methodology makes the entire list make more sense.

If you're not gonna read it, why even comment?

Everybody on the list, you butthurt bitch.

Brian Kelly has NEVER WON ANYTHING! 15 years at the premier blue blood, and never won a NC or even a major bowl game.

Came to a mid-tier SEC team that was actually loaded with NFL talent including a Heisman QB. What has he won? NOTHING!

Heupel out-coached him in Dead Valley so bad, he didn't know whether to shite, go blind, or run for the exits with the fans. Brian Kelly is a joke, and so are you.

frick you and your alter comments. I'm not an alter, but you are an idiot.

So, you would put 20+ guys who also have never won anything ahead of guys with better records and careers. Well, that makes complete sense, JimSweet.

Maybe Kelly will actually win the opener this year. I seriously doubt it.

This must be why you keep getting banned, MrMajestyk/Amarillo By Morning/Cool McCool/ etc.

No one has time to deal with you so they just ban you.
