Heupel > BK but other than that a solid rankings for sure


Yea I think if you asked me to hire one of them today I'm taking Heupel.

#2-8 all have pros and cons based on how long they've coached, where they've coached relative to program success historically, what they inherited, etc.

Brian Kelly also killed a kid sir, not sure if that factors into your rankings

Unless you are Bertman, you are going to make a lot of enemies being somewhere 20+ years. We as fans are dumb. let Lane stay another 4 or 5 years and not make a playoff, they'll be dumb asses saying 10 win seasons are not enough etc.

Bianco is probably outside his element in this era, last few years, portal and nil just don't seem to mesh well, at least not yet. But he's kept Ole Miss baseball in the top 20-15 for two decades.

LSU, Alabama, Texas and Tennessee are running away with it. The rest are not even close.

Why does that matter? Stupid fans want the sometimes great coach fired all the time.

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.

Good take and if you rank them as who's doing the more with less as in terms of athletic budgets, school size, etc., it's definitely Ole Miss. Tennessee is just doing what they should be doing.

Barnes also built Texas. That program was in seriously bad shape when he took it over.

He’s done a lot at two schools that aren’t known for basketball really. Not sure who get Texas or Tennessee much closer than him. It’s not a long list.

May not be close but I'll go with LSU 2

Kelly: Winningest active coach, 10 win seasons

McMan:

JJ: Best in the game rn
as much crap as tRant gives Kelly id want McMahon to get fired 10x over before Kelly. I haven’t watched a college basketball game in over a year. Just have zero interest with a program as bad as McMahons sunk ours. If we still had Wade our 3 coaches could go up against anyone
