It'll probably be noticed that I've got Meyer dropped to #6 in contrast with what others have mentioned, but I feel he's often succeeded not purely because of his coaching skills, but based on the success of certain players, at least in the most recent success at Florida. I can't say for sure whether he'd have lasted as long as he did at Florida if he hadn't had Tebow (the same could be said for other coaches and star players, I'm sure). Granted, he was damned good at Utah, and seems to be on track with Tressel's guys at Ohio State, but I certainly see Saban, Stoops, Peterson, Miles and Tressel ahead of him. I'd also like to make an honorable mention of James Franklin, not for what he has done yet, but for what he is doing and is going to do, whether or not he stays at Vandy for the long haul. He's going to be one of the next big names, I'm predicting. He's already getting the name out there recruiting-wise, and now it's time for further on-field recognition.

This is the correct list

uhhh they went to the cotton bowl and OU twice when he was there. I'm not sure how Gundy isn't higher on all these lists? He is in the top 3 i believe in Wins in the last 5 years.

Sorry losing 5 games or more just doesnt sound good to me. Gundy still has much to prove but if they couldve gotten to that NC a few years ago I could see him in a top 15-20 situation.

Gary Patterson - TCU

Where TCU was and is now is AMAZING.

Gundy lost five games last year, as in the most recent year we have to make note of. I believe Gundy is a good coach, and will be even better. Just not yet.

Also, on my list I meant to have Spurrier #9 and Petrino #10.

why are you including coaches that are not in college football anymore? if we are going to include past college college coaches then everyone can blow up their top 10 list completely.

These are coaches that, hypothetically, I could easily see coming back to college football in a short time. That said, and seeing that most people use the Dynasty feature of NCAA, I can certainly see this mattering. This could effect the realism of their game.

I even used an entire paragraph to explain myself the first time. **My mistake, it was a sentence by itself.

Once again BCS era.... If they did anything that you thought made them great in the BCS era for top 10 what's wrong with saying Chip Kelly?
