On 11W I see a continuous pattern of deriding basically every college coach except for Saban and Dabo Sweeney as underachieving/clueless/never gonna win a NC and so on. My question for the board. What active non-NC winning coaches besides Ryan Day do you respect as a coach/wouldn't/don't howl and complain about? Or, conversely, are Saban and Dabo the only HCs in the entire industry worthy of professional respect? This discussion is, admittedly, more about personal attitudes toward coaches (are you the type of person to say they "suck" as HCs b/c they likely will never win a NC) as opposed to a list of "Best coaches in the conference-make a list"

Active HCs  I respect

Dan Mullen

Gus Malzahn

Mike Leach

Bronco Mendenhall

Luke Fickell

Lincoln Riley

Paul Chryst

Dino Babers
