CBS Sports ranked every college football coach in the Power Five conferences from 1-65

"Who is the best coach in the Power Five conferences? Well, unless you've been living under a rock for the last 20 years, odds are you know who checked in at No. 1. But what about the rest?"

JimBob too fucking high at #4.

Whoa whoa whoa! Where the fuck is Crystal Ball on that list?
-
Jimbo Fischer at #4???
-
Shaw should still be ahead of Petermen but suck it @AuburnFan and your second division head coach. Second best in his own state
-
Helton probably a 26, right?
-
54, which puts him tenth in the PAC, one spot ahead of @Babushka and two ahead of...huskyhooligan said:Whoa whoa whoa! Where the fuck is Crystal Ball on that list?

Jimbo won a ship. People can (justly or unjustly) debate the merits of that particular accomplishment for him, but he won a ship.

He also chose TAMU over FSU which makes his judgement suspect, but I agree he’s above Pete.Gladstone said:Jimbo won a ship. People can (justly or unjustly) debate the merits of that particular accomplishment for him, but he won a ship.

Holy fuck that's a stupid list. I started typing out the fuck ups and then realized I'm too lazy and said Holy fuck that's a stupid list, instead.

Ok but what would it look like if a real sports service ranked all the coaches 1-65?

He took a fuckton of money. Not sure how suspect his judgement is...dnc said:

Fisher has a better resume than Petersen, but that is not the same thing as being a better coach.

That's fair. I don't think he's actually a better coach than Pete. I do think for these types of rankings I'm weighing resume more heavily. If the question is simply "who would you rather have as your coach" I'd weight things differently.AIRWOLF said:

Accomplishments - Jimbo
Who I'd hire first - Pete -
Fisher is a slightly more astute version of Mack Brown.dnc said:

This is an apt comparison- i.e., coaches that have won a natty, but never really dominated the way a truly elite coach would have given the MONEY, TRADITION and LOCATION of their respective schools. Dabo's natty is a heck of a lot more impressive than JimBob's.AIRWOLF said:

Yep. Returned to the playoff the next year. I don’t think he’s ever had an actually bad season besides last year.Gladstone said:Jimbo won a ship. People can (justly or unjustly) debate the merits of that particular accomplishment for him, but he won a ship.

JIMBO FISHER?!?!
Lol.
The modern day Mack Brown.
He rode a great QB to a Natty after taking over a team that needed an attitude adjustment. Slightly above Gene Chizik, but in the same class.
They were a losing BCS team last year in his 8th year - and every year he’s been there they’ve been in the top 10 in recruiting. They averaged 5th!!!
LOFL.
He sucks so bad. -
GENE CHIZIK WON A NATTY YOU MORONS.
If you have a cheat code QB and a roster full of talent you can sometimes make it happen.
FSU WENT 5-6 against BCS comp last year.
They averaged the 5th best recruiting class in the prior 5 years!
Holy Fuck you guys are dumb. -
jimbo going to tamu was genius. get paid and get fired.
tamu has the ucla syndrome -
Harbaugh at 18? Please. If we're counting his entire resume, maybe.
Shaw's a decent coach but top 10 is pushing it. -
This is honestly one of the worst posts ever on this bored. Slightly above Gene Chizik??Dennis_DeYoung said:JIMBO FISHER?!?!

You can take out Jimbos entire national championship year and his record is 69-23. Let Chizik keep his natty year and he's 38-38. Hell take out every game Jameis ever played and Jimbo is 56-22.
Gene Chizik is one of the worst coaches of all time who happened to get lucky that Tim Tebow was at Florida. His first year after Cam he won 8 games. Two years after Cam he won 3 games.
Jimbo Fisher is a good coach who won a title with a great QB (but let's be real, Jameis was no fucking Cam Newton). His first year after Jameis he won 10 games. His second season after Jameis he won 10 games, including the fucking Orange Bowel.
Jimbo Fisher may not be a great coach but he's a hell of lot closer to Chris Petersen than he is to Gene Fucking Chizik.

Holy Fuck you guys are dumb.
His other 7 years were pretty damn good.
Let's just focus on his one bad year out of 8 and pretend that's normative. -
Jimbo has one year where he had a QB that raped everyone
