i used to like tedford a lot, and stoops is a good candidate, but im not sure who id rank #1. urban and CPC are the best recruiters, but are they the best coaches?
Tedford? The next big game he wins will be the 1st. The best coaches do more with less, not less with more. Recruiting and coaching are two different skills. Bozo the Carroll is the perfect example. He is turning into Toledo Tom going for every 4th down.
Flavor of the week is Brian Kelly. Best unknown probably Chris Peterson, but that won't last. Last 5 years you have to include Pete Carroll, Jim Tressell, and Urban Meier. If anyone says Miles or Mack Brown they immediately go to the ignore list.
tough to argue with Erickson's record. I don't know if he is actually a good coach, but he has won everywhere, and two of those places (WSU, Ore St) aren't easy places to win. Shady dude, certainly, but he gets the job done and when he has elite talent, he has really excelled (Miami and Ore St).

Mack Brown is HORRIBLE. Can recruit priest to a whore house but he is a horrendous coach.
yeah, he has a good record. i think in all sports there are just people i dont really like...he'd be one of those in this sport.
is weiss an option?
:think2:
hahahaha, he was exposed pretty bad this year for what he doesn't know about coaching college football. I don't think he will make that mistake in future years.
Dennis Erickson is a top 10 (maybe 15) coach in college football. Two rings, and he took Oregon State, arguably the worst program in 50 years, almost to the top (and if they weren't called Oregon State, to the top). He also coached ASU "up" to 10-2...there is not 10-2 talent on that team, and if Koetter was still the coach they would probably won 7 games at best. Erickson can get a kid to run through a brick wall...sometimes getting kids to just believe in themselves ups their game twofold.
