miles is among the worst coaches in college football, the only reason he is not lower is because croom and orgeron are among the worst coaches in college sports in general.

what i am saying, is that the longer Miles is the coach, the better the chance LSU is headed back into DiNardoville

Good God - I just e-mailed the author. This might be worse than the one we discussed 2 weeks ago.

1. Spurrier
2. Saban
3. Meyer
4. Richt
5. Fulmer
6. Tuberville
7. Miles
8. Nutt
9. Brooks
10. Johnson
11. Orgeron
12. Croom

The bottom 3 can be shuffled, as can the top 3. Having Nutt or Tuberville ahead of Fulmer is a complete traveshamockery.

Here we go again.

Anyone who takes Saban over Spurrier is just dumb. Saban has been a head coach at a BCS school for 10 seasons and lost fewer than 3 games only twice. That's "genius"? Meanwhile, Spurrier has been the head coach at a BCS school for 17 years and lost few than 3 games NINE times. And that includes three years at Duke. He's won six SEC championships and one ACC championship -- again, AT DUKE.

Nutt over Richt is just crazy.

Bobby Johnson over Fulmer? Based on what? Shouldn't he have to take a team to a bowl game before you'd take him over a guy with a NC, even if it was 30 years ago?

There is NO WAY Johnson is the 10th best coach in the SEC. He is better than Miles, Nutt, Brooks, and perhaps Fulmer. If we're strictly talking X's and O's, he's definitely better than Fulmer. Nobody gets more out of less in the SEC. He is playing against a stacked deck by coaching at Vandy. The guy makes a great point...if Johnson coached at UT, no way he loses to Vandy. In fact, I wish UT would hire him if Fulmer retires. Not that our AD would "stoop" to hiring a Vandy coach, but he should.

As for Fulmer, 8th is probably too low considering his accomplishments. He's got to be considered in the top 5 in the SEC.

Come on. I'm not even going to get into whether Johnson or Fulmer is a better coach, but to suggest that a Johnson-led UT team couldn't have lost to Vandy in 2005 is ridiculous. They had already lost to MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE earlier in the same year, costing themselves a shot at a bowl game even with the best QB in Vandy history. I think it's entirely possible that a Johnson-led Tennessee team, mired in its worst season in 20 years, could have managed to lose on a last-minute play to the best Vanderbilt team in at least a decade. Just like Fulmer's team did.
