You funny!

Well he completely turned around Temple football and made them relevant again which was a great job on his part. And it was obviously impressive enough to land him the Miami job. And he has done an awesome job at changing Miami for the better all the while consistently pulling in top 20 recruiting classes (currently have a top 5 ranked class going right now). I wouldn't put him above many of the coaches listed in these top 10 list, but I think he's very good and possibly worthy of a top 25 slot among coaches.

If were talking about the last ten years.....Chris Peterson of Boise State has to be Top 10

1. Nick Saban - a bit obvious, I have to admit?
2. Urban Meyer
3. Bill Snyder
4. Bob Stoops
5. Art Briles - Yes, I'm biased, but he did turn a nearly dead Baylor football program (about 20 years of not making a bowl game), got a Heisman trophy winner, proved to be competitive w/out said Heisman winner, and looks like he's actually progressing as a coach.

A few thoughts on some coaches. Not top 10, but just feel like mentioning these guys.

Mangino did an incredible job as far as on field results go at Kansas. They were horrible before him and horrible after him, but a contender in the Big12 when he was there.

Pat Fitzgerald. I think the world of this guy as a coach. Still needs to keep building the program, but has Northwestern headed in the correct direction.

What Bill O'Brien did in the situation he was given was impressive. Once he gets over the sanctions it will be interesting what he is able to do.

Really like what Art Briles has done to make Baylor relevant. Will be interesting to see if he keeps them there as the RGIII years get further and further away.
