I was really surprised at Joe Paterno's rank. I thought he gave a fair ranking of Brian Kelly.

It's cause Joe Pa isn't coaching anymore. He's just showing up and collecting wins.

I don't really agree with this list because of the high ranking of Beamer among other things. But everyone, like this writer, is entitled to their opinion.

Paterno doesn't even go out on recruiting trips to visit players in their homes.


Mack Brown is not the best coach in the nation. He wins like ten, eleven games a year, but he can basically pick whatever recruits he wants in Texas, where football is everything and the talent is incredibly rich. When the guy was at Tulane in the late eighties, he went 11-23. He then went on to build UNC into a decent program, which was impressive.

Urban Meyer went 8-3 and 9-3 at Bowling Green, then 10-2 and 12-0 at Utah. That's a little better track record. And what he's done at Florida is phenomenal.

Nick Saban went 9-2 in one year with Toledo, eventually got the annually average Michigan State (they start off like 5-0 every year and finish 6-6) to good seasons, turned LSU into a national title team, and then turned a struggling Alabama into a national champion by his third year.

Both are better coaches than Brown.
