He probably thinks that Mack Brown calls a great game as a play by play announcer too! What an idiot!

Re: FB Update: Les Miles ranked as a better coach than Dabo Swinney


Jun 9, 2017, 10:04 AM

Ha!!!!!!!! My lasting memory of Less Miles will always be him calling three straight passing plays to try to run out the clock against Clemson in the 2012 bowl game. Two were incomplete and gave the Tigers just enough time to race down the field (while LSU defensive guys were dropping like flies) and have Chandler Catanzarro kick the last second winning field goal. When it comes to Miles, more is less. :)

If memory serves me correctly, Dabo has not played five of them. Of the five he has played against, he has beaten them ALL in their last head to head matchup.

Jun 9, 2017, 10:36 AM

I actually don't have much of a problem with the list, maybe aside from Gary Patterson, who I think gets a lot of love which isn't necessarily deserved. Chris Petersen is way too high as well, in my opinion.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I kind of disagree on Chris Peterson. He doesn't have the


Jun 9, 2017, 12:59 PM

hardware yet, but he's a helluva coach. He's solidly in my top 5 active head coaches. I really think Dabo has earned the #3 spot behind Saban and Meyer, but Peterson might be #4. I'd rather have him than Jimbo Fisher despite the lack of a natty.

Gary Patterson has lost a little bit of his shine. I agree he's a little overrated. He does deserve a good bit of credit for his stretch at TCU that landed them a spot in the Big XII, but he's had several turd seasons recently.

Jun 9, 2017, 2:12 PM

I guess my problem with Petersen is where he coached as well. Boise St is a big fish in a small pond, and they would play one good team a season before settling down to beat up on Montana Tech Community College for the remainder. I believe he's a very good coach, and he's going to keep Washington as a national contender for the long term, but with most of his resume being at Boise--a team that was just as good before he was coach--hurts him a lot. I don't mind him in the Top 10, but I think #10 should be the ceiling for him.

Re: Nice Click-Bait Title


Jun 9, 2017, 2:39 PM [ in reply to Nice Click-Bait Title ]

I'm with you on Patterson and Peterson. I am also curious of the Era he mentions. Because if you can go back to Mack Brown and Tressel, then tbh, leaving Spurrier off the list is dumb. I would say Spurrier was a better coach than any of those 4, and probably Stoops as well. SC tarnished his legacy, but come on, the dude literally called game plans better than just about anyone.

Jun 9, 2017, 2:45 PM [ in reply to Mack Brown - OVERRATED! ]

The last years of Mack Brown, were so bad that it wiped away the memory of some of the great seasons he had. Despite top recruiting classes, tons of money and fan support, he just couldnt get it done. Texas was the laughing stock for a time. I really think that most of his wins were due to the talent of his team, alone. no way he should be on this list. If Mack is on there then a case could be made for Spurrier.

Another one on the list is Tressel. Talk about a short resume.....

Re: Mack Brown - OVERRATED! Agreed!


Jun 9, 2017, 2:49 PM

Mack was Big Game Bob before Bob became a head coach. They always wilted in big games. Tressel? Only at Ohiyo St. Could the most boring football teams ever be considered good coaching. Yeah, win 9-10 games against a then seriously depleted big 11. Not impressed with him either.

First off, Tressel really lost to Miami, but due to coke-bottled glass wearing official making the worst championship-deciding call EVER, he won a NC.
Petersen has done NOTHING. Might as well include some coaches from North Dakota St or Mount Union...
Dabo did lose to Patterson in his first season and that was TCU's greatest recent team ever. We only list by 4 too.
Jimbo's unethical.

I agree with your summarization. Dabo doesn't get the same respect, but it's pretty amusing to me that whenever he plays one of the "greats" we seem to do very, very well. Them? Not so much. In fact, lately, his teams have curb stomped these "great coaches" lauded so highly, and I also agree, albeit with a very heavy heart, that spurlid was a great coach and accomplished much. Anybody who can take that bunch of losers in cola and win some games is doing something right. Now, he did catch us at a kind of rebuilding time, and he did get to coach in the secheat least region, but he won games - something never done there (and maybe never repeated). That said, he comes across as a smarmy jerk. I'm glad he was their's. He fit in very well there. That is all.

Obviously Dabo deserves to be on this list. High on this list. He hasn't been around as long as some so maybe about number 5. I don't understand Fisher being ahead of him. Also, no matter how his career ended, Spurrier has to be on this list. He won at Duke. He was dominant at Florida. And for a brief period he even made the Coots relevant.

I hear all this junk on here about how no one respects Clemson....I don't ever encounter that and I have good friends all over the country that belong to many different bases. Sometimes I wonder if the ATTITUDE of the people on here complaining about this resultes in the negative outlook of those they encounter? There aren't many bases that show zero respect for other programs that this base. Not all, but a large group of our base is guilty of this. Acting like other teams are straight garbage because they haven't been as good as Clemson over the past two years is such a pea brained approach.
