You asked why Elko is ranked above Heupel, I told you.
People who rank head coaches don't care about your weird qualifiers. Elko has been better at A&M than Heupel has been at Tennessee.

He literally hasnt dumbass. They both went 11-2 in Year 2 and neither has a playoff win. The difference is Heupel has more than a 2 year body of work and has had a better HC career so far.
If anything he has done worse if you compare their first 2 years in the SEC. Heupel finished ranked 6 and Elko finished 8

In 4 years as a P4 coach, Deboer has 2 playoff appearances. He has more playoff appearances and playoff wins than all but three SEC programs - Georgia (5), Oklahoma (5) and Texas (2).
If you consider just his two seasons at Alabama he has as many or more CFP appearances than 12 of 16 SEC football programs.
There are some aggressively stupid people here who wishcast entirely too much.
I think it's great that Alabama fans are satisfied with their BK. I'd have hated to see Alabama hire Cignetti or Willingham.
LSU hasn't been able to take advantage yet but a softer, less physical Bama is great for the rest of us.

It's clear you aren't able to grasp this concept.

As you base every argument you have ever made on winning percentage until it doesnt support your argument. You are a joke

Let's take a gander at the Sporting News rankings:

11. Mike Elko, Texas A&M
16. Josh Heupel, Tennessee
Oh noooo, they have Elko listed above Heupel too....

Let’s be real about Josh Heupel…
Is he better than Derek Dooley and Jeremy Pruitt? Sure.
But he’s not an elite coach. He’s 7-15 against ranked opponents (using final AP rankings). That’s not terrible but also not great. Most Big 6 schools eventually fire coaches who fail to hit 35% win% against ranked opponents.
The problem for Tennessee is that his numbers are getting worse. Since the 2023 season, Tennessee is just 2-9 against ranked opponents. That’s typically a fireable offense when you consider that’s been over the last three seasons. Amazing that he seems to still be far away from the hot seat with that type of record in big games.
Since 2023, Tennessee is 2-9 against Top 25 teams. They are 0-9 against Top 15 teams. And they have 3 losses against teams finishing unranked. This is not a record that warrants a rating in the top half of the league.

Interesting that the guy in 9th place made the playoffs last year ahead of 7 others.
well be real. He didnt make the playoffs. He coached in the playoffs but Kiffin was HC for all the wins that got them there.
I dont disagree he should be higher but I think you're overselling golding a bit

Sidewalk Queer claims that Elko is higher on the list because his winning percentage at A&M is higher than Heupel's at Tennessee, and that despite every other metric, that's all that matters. Yet Clark Lea has a lower winning percentage than both Venables and Beamer, and is higher ranked. There is no reason Elko should be ranked higher than Heupel. Once again, Sidewalk Queer makes it obvious what a fuucking idiot she is.

That playoff appearance bought him some time.
Probably also helps that Tennessee was so bad for so long.

Oh look, CBS Sports also has Elko ranked higher.

No Tennessee fan thinks he is an elite coach. However, his metrics are better than more than half the coaches in the league. Sarks and Kiffin's numbers when you break them down like that are not impressive either. By his career and numbers, he is a top 5 coach in the league. He is not going to get fired unless he has a losing season this next year, which he has never had in 8 years of being a D1 HC, or he goes 7-5 for the next two straight years, which also seems unlikely given that he has done that 1 time ever. As long as he is stays a top 6 coach in the league at minimum, he will stay the coach. I don't understand the hate he gets from fans of teams who haven't had a coach with a better winning percentage than him since Terry Bowden

ahead of Sumrall and probably Beamer
I would definitely have him ahead of Beamer. As for Sumrall, the man has won a conference title multiple times as a head coach. Honestly, Sumrall should be much higher on this list.

Since Heupel arrived at Tennessee, only 3 SEC programs have won more games than he has. He also did that taking over a program with 17 level 1 NCAA violations and 3 wins the prior year. Every SEC program besides Bama, UGA, Texas, and Ole Miss would rather have had our last 5 years than theirs
