Franklin is solid but needs to win something other than the Fiesta Bowl to be 3rd.
Orgeron is a one year wonder until he isn't
The list basically proves what we? have been saying. There are two great coaches. There are a handful of good coaches that can win and the vast majority suck and will be fired
I'll assent that this is the basis for LIPO on Donovan vis a vis Jimmy; most coaches really suck and getting one who isn't a windowlicker puts you way ahead of the curve, and sometimes coaches that previously sucked pull their head out of their ass to transcend to not sucking.
Big 12 or not, Lincoln Riley should be higher. He’s dominated his conference and made the playoff his first three years. Franklin hasn’t made it once.
Ed O won a natty and popped off, but 4 is probably too high. I don’t see a repeat coming with Pelini and Linehan as the coordinators. As others noted, 9 is way too high for Whittingham. 15 would be too high as well. 20 is about right.
Last year was a bad year for Socha. But it was the first in all his years. Hoping it was an anomaly.
He hasn't tweeted since last July. Wasnt he constantly tweeting out videos from the UW weight room a couple years ago?
i think twitter is a real pain for us older guys. i fucking hate it and my office asks us to do it but i refuse to even open an account. fucking hate having to tweet my job.

Agree on Riley. He is also only 36 years old so he has 20-30 years on these guys.
I could see arguments higher or lower for Orgeron. But in the Swinney/Saban era so few other coaches have nattys you have to give huge weight to that one title.

Guess this goes here? Epic name.

Looking forward to Aaron Fuller being appointed US ambassador to Trashcanistan under the AOC adminstration.
It's a process. It takes a minute... & of course, it's hard.
Since 2000 UW has had 52 drafted players, 10 in the 1st.
Since BFL took over, 24 drafted players, including 6 in the 1st. Plus a bonus 8 2nd round guys.
Essentially the same success putting guys in the NFL in 5 years as the previous 15 had done.
