I saw this Q online on coaching

[How_did_this_happen?]

Interesting question...


Hi Stewart, With Harbaugh going to Michigan, which division now has the best coaches? I would rank them (1) SEC West (Saban, Les Miles, Gus Malzahn, Kevin Sumlin, Dan Mullen, Hugh Freeze, and Bret Bielema); (2) Big Ten East (Meyer, Harbaugh, James Franklin and Mark Dantonio); and (3) Pac-12 North (David Shaw, Mark Helfrich, Chris Peterson, Mike Leach and Gary Andersen).
-- Alex, Arlington, Virginia[/I]


Thoughts?

Art Briles, Gary Patterson, Bill Snyder and Mike Stoops might want a piece of that action.

I think it's far easier to simply scan the w/l records of the teams, taking into account head to head and bowl game wins to determine who the best coaches are.

In my opinion, the best coaches win the most games... and do so regularly.
