General Neyland #36 on ESPN 150 Greatest Coaches

[JohnWardForever]

Dooley and Lou Holtz above General Neyland has me screaming at myself in my living room at 1pm on a Tuesday how the hell could these people live with themselves

espn has been off the rails for about 10 years now. IGNORE BUTTON.

BoB Neyland tops all coaches in my opinion!

All college coaches for sure!
BoB Neyland

 

[UT_Dutchman]

A bit low.. especially how innovative he was. Not to mention his success

That just proves they did not do any research and know nothing about Neyland.

 

[Sin City Vol]

I just don't see how Vince Dooley is ahead of Neyland and Fulmer.

i agree! He literally had what many say is the greatest RB in NCAA history for 3 years and won a NC. Other than that he was above aberage

ESPN evaluates sports about as well as a 15 year old girl evaluates music.

 

[PhoenixAZVol]

Complete garbage. This ranking belongs in Butch Jones’ turnover trashcan.

 

[99gator]

The worst ranking of all and it's not close is Urban Meyer.

Man may be scum, but the amount of guys I'd take over him are in the single digits.

 

[FrankenVol54]

I'm calling BS on this article. Dabo? Shouldn't he be on the 150 Greatest Cheerleaders list instead?

 

[Aday25]

Way too low

The worst ranking of all and it's not close is Urban Meyer.

Man may be scum, but the amount of guys I'd take over him are in the single digits.

Don't care for UM, but results are in the pudding. The man gets results and wins which should make him in the top 2 or 3 for the last 30 years.

Should have been #1 imo.

Great man and coach. Multiple shutouts, national titles, taught that doofus in Alabama everything he knew (and never lost him), plus loved freedom so much he joins in the war to kill some Krauts.

Given the time they lived and circumstances surrounding their tenure General Neyland deserves to be number 1.

With few exceptions, most everyone else on this list couldn’t hold his jock strap.

 

[Vol737]

ESPN hates us. That is all...

 

[Bayern]

Neyland should be in the top 5 period.

That goes without saying!

Can’t take this list seriously since Dooley and Lyle aren’t on it.

 

[tennesseecoyote]

Pretty ignorant list from someone with a midnight deadline and little understanding of the history and development of the game. Did you see the ”info” provided, just pathetic, what a waste of time, unless of course you’re a Notre Dame, Michigan, or Alabama fan, then by all means please enjoy.
