Ironically, our worst of the 3 is the only one with a National Championship…

What part of Earley starting the season #1 and not even making a regional makes you think A&M could even be considered?

This just confirms that there are some stout coaches in the league.

It is not his first rodeo, so we have a history.

Yep, I think Georgia has a good lineup. Clearly the #1 football coach, White is at least middle of the pack, and Johnson looks like a great hire to me for the baseball program, even though it pains me to say it.

Look a little closer. There are some good coaches in there. Vandy even looks pretty good.

Playoff in Football
Back to back elite 8 in basketball
Natty and perennial CWS in baseball.

Some schools have individual coaches equal or better but collectively?

Went through and did a 1-16 ranking in each sport (not easy) and came out with this

1. Tennessee (41 pts)
2. Ole Miss (36)
2. Texas (36)
4. Alabama (32)
5. Florida (29)
5. Georgia (29)
5. LSU (29)
5. Vanderbilt (29)
9. Arkansas (26)
10. Mississippi State (22)
11. Kentucky (21)
11. Missouri (21)
13. Auburn (15)
13. Texas A&M (15)
15. Oklahoma (14)
16. South Carolina (13)


Not really sure what you do with Pearl considering he's never coached a game before. He'll likely be better than last, but as of now, not sure where you put him otherwise.

Honestly, some version of Tennessee / Arkansas with Ole Miss third.

Sark #2? Gates above Cal? Sully at #6?

You ain't kidding about not easy.


Also thank you for that. You can do some stat figuring with quickness!

Tried to mesh overall achievement with who would you pick right now, but yea some of that stuff is hard.

I mean #2 football coach - who is it? I think you could pick like 4 or 5 guys and make a legit argument.

Basketball #1-7 or so is what do you favor more - longevity, consistency, recency, hitting the ceiling. I think Golden, Oats, Barnes and Beard are clearly the Top 4, but after that you could easily convince me of any other order of Gates, Cal, Pope (I may overrate Gates but minus his tournament flops hes done pretty amazing stuff there for what he inherited).

And baseball is just absurd. Half the coaches have won a national title and been to like 4+ CWS. I love Rob Vaughn and there is zero argument to place him anywhere about #13.

Who the frick knows

I edited my response, because it wasn't thankful enough. I started out this thread trying to do what you did and got frustrated and just listed them in alphabetical order because I took the chickenshit way out.

It's not the best trio in the league, but you'd be dumb to not buy stock in these 3.

Also, Vandy is sneaking good across the board. Lea and Corbin are known commodities at this point, and what Byington did in 1 year deserves a lot of recognition.

I'm probably taking Tennessee. Ole Miss is solid as well.

Tenner probably tops, but Barnes is basically Brian Kelly without the national title game appearance.


He’s made the elite 8 twice in a row and has routinely had a Top 10 basketball program the past ~decade.

Brian Kelly has never won a conference title or a postseason game of any consequence.
