As much as I dislike Alabama and Saban, Saban is hands down the best coach in College, hands down. As for the OP's list, noway Gundy is a top 15 coach. JoePa is an A no questions ask. If you have questions, then you need to follow a different sport. As for the prestige for the coaches, I would say theharbinater has the best looking idea from what I've seen.

With that being said, I just don't see Paterno currently being the best coach in America, or even close to it. His assistants are highly rated, because they do all of the work.

i dont disagree. that's why i put weight on the last 3 years. i've been thinking about putting more weight on it, but haven't had time to mess with it lately.

My thoughts were drifting to how a coaches prestige increases how a team progresses. The better a coach is, the better his recruits will progress. If their prestige is built into the sim (Idk if that is the case or not) then this would be another reason to take the current quality of the coach into account. I was more focused on progression though. Players increase at Penn State because of the Coordinators, not because of Joe anymore, even though he will go down as a legend.

In the game, Coach Prestige has nothing to do with how players progress, only as the grade for that pitch in recruiting.

Ok, I must have misunderstood. Do coordinators then affect the progress of their units? In that case, based on recruiting prowess, my top 10 would look something like:

1.) Mack Brown
2.) Nick Saban
3.) Jimbo Fisher
4.) Joe Paterno
5.) Les Miles
6.) Mark Richt
7.) Bob Stoops
8.) Gene Chizik
9.) Dabo Sweney
10.) Butch Davis

I guess we won't know that until the game comes out. I would anticipate that adding coordinators doesn't do much more than giving another "pitch" to use in recruiting for how good your coordinators are and adding some pipelines. I figure that the reason EA is adding alma maters to coaches is so that those states that their alma maters are in would be easier to recruit in for those coaches.

that's not true it's been said that your coach prestige rating does provide a boost during player training. this quote is straight from the CC blog on the game site

Coach Prestige rating impacts several areas of the game including Recruiting, Player Progression, and the quality of the teams that could potentially be interested during the Carousel Stage
