As far as Florida Pell is where he should be as he is the one that put Florida on the national map. McElwain shouldn't be anywhere near the top 5 as the SEC East was really easy those years.


Cheatin' Charley Pell put Clemson and Florida on probation because of his cheating ways. The NCAA started their investigation of Florida days after the Gators hired him. He should not be on any list as a good coach.

How good would any of those have been if wealth had been the driving factor all along?

Texas would probably still have Tom Herman in today's environment.

The big money Ags didn't listen to him. *Insert Dennis "Dumbass" Franchione*

BMAs are some of the dumbest of dumbfricks to walk this God's Earth, and certainly in Texas. Having money doesn't equate to having brains, that's for sure. Which is also why so many coaches in living memory have robbed the BMAs blind:
Dennis Franchi-phony!,
Kevin Sumlin,
and worst of all-- Jimblow Fisher;

Billy Kennedy, mbb:-- only 2 out of 7 years with the Big Dance and took a program that was handed to him with 6 out of 6 previous years in the Big Dance, a brought it many notches down;

Rob Childress, baseball:-- went to post-season every year, but only made it past the Regionals half of the years, and when he did make it to Supers, got beat by his eventual replacement, Schloss... who should have been money whipped years earlier.

Joni Taylor, wbb: took a nationally prominent program that admittedly Gary Blair was allowed to run for a few years too long, and completely ran it aground the past 3 seasons, and yet has a job that pays her $1.5 million, making her 7th highest paid women's bb coach in the country. She has gone 2-14, 6-10, 3-13 in the SEC. I bet I can probably achieve those numbers and I won't ask for $1.5 million.

love JoMo - he was perfect for Carolina -

Holtz probably next after HBC -

Carlen incredibly under-rated and had it not been for the politics and behavior of the then sitting school Prez - Jim would likely won enough we may have missed the window for JoMo -

Can think much better uses for that money.

What he was nailed for was nothing compared to what went on in the SEC the years after that.

I typed out the name. I could've copied and pasted but it gave a long paragraph of why each was ranked where they were and would've made the thing embarrassingly long to include all of that. I typed the name wrong. Really weird that this is bothering you so much.

Ok, so you say you are putting out an AI list and now you say it was your mistake. What exactly was the mistake, that you made copying an AI list.

This should be good.

Do you mean the list you just typed out is a farce? I'd agree.

If Saban had gone to the NFL and never come back, I don't even think anyone would argue Saban. Nick only won in double digits 40 percent of the time while he was there.

To not have Ed on the list is just being pissed about his last two seasons. He was good before the title. Unfortunately, he made it to the mountain top and didn't have the will to keep trying to stay there.

McClendon is Shug Jordan with no national title.

Arnsperger coached three seasons at LSU. Never won ten games in a season. Never won a bowl game. Won one conference title.

It doesn't bother me. I also ask Chat GPT and it gave me a different list than yours, but did misspell Charley Pell, hence my criticism.

List the 5 best football coaches of all time at the university of florida


ChatGPT said:
Here are the top 5 football coaches of all time at the University of Florida, ranked based on on-field success, impact on the program, and legacy:

1. Steve Spurrier (1990–2001)
Record: 122–27–1

National Championships: 1 (1996)

SEC Championships: 6

Why he's #1: Spurrier revolutionized Florida football, brought the “Fun ’n’ Gun” offense, and turned UF into a national powerhouse. He also won the school’s first-ever national title. As a Heisman-winning former UF QB, his legacy is unmatched.

2. Urban Meyer (2005–2010)
Record: 65–15

National Championships: 2 (2006, 2008)

SEC Championships: 2

Why he's #2: Meyer brought a second golden era with two national titles in three years, helped develop Tim Tebow, and dominated the SEC at a time it was the toughest conference in college football.

3. Ray Graves (1960–1969)
Record: 70–31–4

Bowl Appearances: 5

Why he's #3: Graves modernized the program and brought national attention to UF for the first time. He coached Heisman runner-up Steve Spurrier and laid the groundwork for future success.

4. Bob Woodruff (1950–1959)
Record: 53–42–6

Why he's #4: While not as decorated, Woodruff helped stabilize and elevate the Gators during the 1950s, making them a respectable force in the SEC during a foundational era.

5. Doug Dickey (1970–1978)
Record: 58–43–2

Why he's #5: Though his tenure had ups and downs, Dickey led UF to multiple bowl games and recruited top talent that would influence the program for years.

Honorable Mentions:
Dan Mullen (2018–2021): Strong offensive mind; started strong but fizzled out.

Charlie Pell (1979–1984): Improved recruiting and facilities, but his tenure ended in scandal.

Let me know if you’d like a version focused more on recent coaches or purely based on win percentages.

Yeah, you can ask it the same question an hour later and the rankings will be changed a bit.

But I put this out there just for a fun discussion. I think most understood that.

Only thing I specified is focus only on what they did at the school. For instance, Meyer shouldn't get any extra points for winning a title at OSU.

I agree re: Brooks. He also instilled a toughness, physical and mental, that still characterizes the program, if not quite to the same degree. Though Stoops has maintained it pretty well. Everyone should respect and appreciate how they play, though I doubt anyone can win big that way. UK plays football like a man.

IMO, Brooks is vastly under-appreciated. He kind of got Oregon going before the Nike money kicked in.

Considering one of them had arguably the greatest season in college football history, makes perfect sense to me.

Spurrier on top for two SEC schools is insane.


One could argue that Saban should be #1 at two different schools as well, considering that Miles owed quite a bit of his success to what Saban left in place.
