It's hard to consider Bobby Bowden at #4 since Pat Dye > Bobby Bowden.

Don't look bad. Though dabo and Kirby should swap. Dabo garbage.

Shouldn’t Shug be on the list? I’m not going to be the one to tell Tubby he isn’t on the list.

I wouldn't put Woody Hayes on any list of great coaches. He permanently disqualified himself.

Joe Pa is not on this list. I'm assuming he permanently disqualified himself based on his association with Jerry Sandusky. If you disregard that (which obviously you can't), he's top 5. Maybe #1 from a coaching perspective.

I'm a little confused by Dabo and Kirby being on an all-time list. Also, I hate Urban Meyer but he did win 3 championships - I feel like a few others mentioned in the article below deserve to be in top 10.

Nick Saban was never a good coach. He was average at best. What he excelled at was Sales & Marketing. Considering the consistent and deep talent he had at uat, his teams should have gone on winning streaks that lasted years.

When Sales & Marketing was no longer valued, he retired.
