Top 25 College Football Coaches Since 2000

Leach's problem was Cuog couldn't beat Dwag.
And then he'd fuck up one other game along the way just being stubborn.
-
Chip 1.0 was fucking legit. Way more so than Lincoln.
-
Pete was the fucking man at usc. Like @RaceBannon mentioned the speed in which he built that machine was crazy.
-
Kelly is very hard to categorize. One of the best four-year runs you could ever imagine without winning a title (as our brilliant DTD pointed out), but then he came back and was incredibly below average and that has to be factored in, especially since it wasn't like a coming back at 75 thing either. What he did was certainly more impressive than anything Day has done, including winning a national title where he lost at home to a Michigan team UW beat.
-
day also doesn’t win the title last year without chip as OC imho.

The Deathrow DBs were Leach's worst matchup nightmare. Then he also earned a lot of respect from me by seeming to have the mindset that we're gonna win 9+ games every year and not make our season the Apple Cup and go 4-8. Sad loser Coug fans I know admitted towards the end they would have rather had the 4-8 but Apple Cup wins over actually being relevant and going to real bowl games.

I'm willing to overlook much of Chip's struggles at UCLA to recognize the run he had at Oregon, especially in terms of how it changed the sport with the blur. He should be higher than boring ass clowns like Whittingham. If Whitt had been the one to take Utah from the mountain west to 12-0 etc, then sure, but Urbs put them on the map. Good on him for maintaining, but Kelly innovated.
Keep waiting to see Doogs get all proud that Peterman was the highest ranked without a title.

This. I knew a guy whose kid was being recruited by Oregon (and everybody else) and he was in the weeds on everything inside cfb. He was smart, wealthy and influential and "managed" his kids' (yes, plural) D1 careers, so the kind of Dad who had a clue about this and that. Anyway, didn't go to Oregon, but the guy had high respect for Kelly and how he ran the program. The legendary stuff about practices being highly sync'd machines with nary a wasted second or movement and remarkable consistency day to day was, according to his sources, very much the case. I think it's fair to say there was a point there when Kelly was just ahead of everybody else. Just ran into the wrong kind of team in Buck in 2014. I know people laff here when I say this, but as dumb and stupid as Mario appears to be on the sideline, that kind of team Buck had in 2014 with that kind of running back and running game is what Mario really wants to do, he just hasn't been able to pull it off because it turns out to be very difficult to dominate on the O line like that. Bama has been able to do it. Georgia too. Not many others. Easy to want it; hard to do it. He's had some close O lines, but he's never really had the back to go with it. Or something. IDC.

chip wasn’t coach in 2014 vs osu. He’d been gone for 2 years. His 2012 team was his best (and probably the best in Oregon history), but got tripped up by the Stanford team that was built to beat Oregon.

that kind of team Buck had in 2014 with that kind of running back and running game is what Jimmy Lake really wanted to do, he just wasn't able to pull it off because it turns out to be very difficult to dominate on the O line like that.
Agreed Mario = Jimmy.
