How many GREAT head football coaches are there in the game today?

While compiling the Top 100 Assistants list we here at Coaches Hot Seat got into a discussion on how many great football coaches there are in the game today, which led to us coming up with 4 categories to classify the best coaches in the game.  We went through all 120 I-A football programs and classified head coaches as either Great, Near Great, Very Good, or Head Coaches Climbing or Falling.  Here is the summary of our picks and below the summary are the categories and head coaches:  (The coaches are listed in order of winning percentage.  There were some coaches that we chose not to classify at this time.)

  1. Where is Charlie Weis?

  2. Unless you are living in the past, Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden should definitely be down at least a couple levels.

  3. Charlie Weiss is on the Physically Unable to Perform list. CW will be out at Notre Dame before you know it, and the powers that be at ND will look awful for having run Willingham out so quickly.

    I agree with JBG about Paterno and Bowden. Once were great, now just good.

  4. Houston Dale Nutt does not deserve to be on the same list as Bobby Petrino. There is no comparison.

  5. I disagree with both Mack & Nick…

  6. I would LOVE to hear why Mack Brown and Nick Saban are in their respective categories in your “discussion” on the topic. Please shed some light if possible.

  17. Hello,

    I’m hoping to meet new friends here so drop me a note when you
    get a chance.

    I hope to make some quality posts on weight loss tips soon but first I have to
    look around the forum and familiarize myself with everyone and the forum.
