As much as it pains me, Flip Kirby and Day. Dump Kiffin for Dabo.

You're not a top 10 coach if you've never made and/or won a playoff game.

Exactly. And he left off an actual multi-National Championship winner for that particular coach.

TBH, lots of talking heads had Clem's Son, LSU, Texas, and PSU high up there. Him having Florida at #9 is pretty funny tho.

No one is more reactionary than Josh Pate. I would trust a tic tac toe playing chicken more than Josh Pate.

I don’t think anyone did a worse job than him. Four of his too five failed to make the playoffs. Two of his top five fired their coach. He has figured out being correct is not what matters, being talked about is what matters.

Turning Ole Miss into a consistent winner is pretty much the equivalent of winning 3 natties


I’m half kidding too. If that weren’t the case then how come it took decades to have this kind of sustained success?

I would take Kiffin out and replace him with Ole Forester Pete.

Pete playoff wins - 2 Kiffin - 0

That isn't what was said. It was said that a coach on that list should have MADE a playoff which Kiffin most certainly did.

Is this list based on resume or who you believe is the best right now?

I'd take Kiffin any day over Dabo these days.
