CJH record vs other coaches

[njvols]

There should be * next to both of Urban's records here.
Of the 5 on that list, he by far walked into the BEST situation...BOTH times.

The problem with previous coaches at FL and OSU wasn't that they couldn't recruit. They just couldn't coach or wanted out of the college game...those rosters were flooded with talent.

Still blows me away what Saban was able to do at Bama, Kiffin has done at Ole Miss, and Heupel is doing at UT considering the roster talent they had starting out.

Agree. Gotta put Kiffin on the list too. Say what you will but he’s made OM relevant from historically mediocre program…JH in same breath took us from brink of going into second decade of suck, risking same irrelevance as OM was, or Auburn is now.

This moment in time is, with all the competition, not a time you need continued regression. For a program like UF, like UT you always say they can be relevant w the right HC, but the longer you drift, the longer the climb back to consistent winning.

I recall reading much speculation that those guys left primarily because they were afraid of getting busted for taking money.

I guess a majority were does not change the fact that 33 or 34 left and CJH was handed a house on fire.

Obviously.

So, all things considered, Hype is the best.
No surprise there.

Go Vols!

It’s crazy that most people outside of Volnation don’t have neyland as a top 10 coach all time. This list right here speaks for itself how good the general was.

It’s because most casual fans are just uneducated on most topics

All of Osborne’s teams were on enough steroids to kill a horse.

I’ve posted before that Saban away from Bama was only a good coach. Prior to LSU he sucked! I use to love hearing Spurrier call him out on it. Shingle schools!

He inherited a mediocre Michigan State program, then was hit with NCAA sanctions for violations that occurred under the previous regime. Yet, he still built them into a top-ten team and produced their first ten-win season in over thirty years before leaving for Baton Rouge. So no, he didn’t suck prior to arriving in Baton Rouge.

First year 33 players left the program.

and several of those were starters. The program was in a mess for sure. I wouldn’t trade Heupel for any coach in America.
