In no particular order.
1. Charlie Strong.
2. Dabo Swinney.
3. Jimbo Fisher.
4. Paul Johnson.
5. Frank Beamer.
6. Bob Stoops.
7. Gary Patterson.
8. Mack Brown.
9. Mark Dantonio.
10. Bo Pelinni.
11. Urban Meyer.
12. Bill Blankenship.
13. Bronco Mendenhall.
14. Larry Coker.
15. Brian Kelly.
16. Matt Campbell.
17. Chris Petersen.
18. Tim DeRuyter.
19. Mark Helfrich.
20. David Shaw.
21. Nick Saban.
22. Gus Malzahn.
23. Mark Richt.
24. Les Miles.
25. Hugh Freeze.
26. Kevin Sumlin.
27. Steve Spurrier.
So, that's 21% of coaches with a conference WP of 70% or greater.
Unbeknownst to Doogs but knownst to everyone else: UW is and always should strive to be, by virtue of its tradition, location, and finances, a top 20 CFB program.
Pray tell Doogs, which of these coaches took longer than five years to be established as The Guy? Some of those inherited greatness, (i.e. Coker) maintained greatness (i.e. Shaw), and some took over middling or downtrodden programs (i.e. Malzahn). In your doogest heart of hearts, can you honestly ever see Sarkisian reaching those kinds of levels? If 59 games isn't enough, what is? Are we a football school, or are we the Seattle Mariners?
