OT: What coach do you think is better than they are being labeled?

[Harvey Specter]

Take out the obvious polarizing corches like Muschamp, Petrino, Gus, etc. This is for coaches that the majority of people are writing off but you think are still pretty good.


Charlie Strong is mine. Don't know what happened at TX but I think he's a pretty good corch.

 

[Fatz Geronimo]

does LANE count?

not sure he can keep his drinking and dick under control - but that dude can corch up a QB and call a game

edit - I think Lane probably falls under your "polarizing" list... his corching isn't really in question

I would say most don't think he can run a program as a HC, so I think he definitely counts

I get totally befuddled when I hear people say that they think Chip Kelly wouldn't do well at a big program in the SEC. Don't know if that counts.

I think Brian Kelly is an ass, but I think he'll do well once his stop at notre dame ends.

Same with Kevin Sumlin. Even though I said he was horrible the other day, I meant that as a fit for AU. I think he'll be fine the next place that he goes as well

 

[Fatz Geronimo]

yeah - Lane as a corch isn't in doubt...
but as a head man of a program? seems to be written off...

I think he's going to win big somewhere before it's all said and done

 

[Denim Vest]

I'd love to have LANE. Guy can croot, corch up a QB and call a ball game. He was never nearly as bad as made out to be and I'm sure learned a few things from the GOAT. I kinda like Sumlin for similar reasons.

I mean lets be real Arben isn't gonna get some proven championship caliber corch.

 

[MomentInTheSun]

I'm not sure that I think Lane will ever be able to overcome some of his flaws and consistently be a great coach. I think he's too self destructive

Turner Gill is one for me. He made the worst mistake of his career going to Kansas

I wish Mark Mangino got a chance to coach somewhere else. What an amazing accomplishment to get Kansas all the way to #1 in the country for a bit

No kidding. That team in 2007 (?) was one of the greatest accomplishments of the modern era

Mark Stoops. Has a nice resume and Kentucky has gradually gotten better. They're a QB away from contending for the east. I'm not sure if he is that great of a coach. He just looks like a total derp so you expect Kentucky to be horrible.

I like Kevin Sumlin. He can clearly recruit. He's another that I can't figure out what went wrong

What happened at T is what would happen at AU. External interference kills.

His face just doesn't inspire confidence but the guy clearly has some corching ability

The younger me used to dismiss that 'culture fit' was important. The older me living in Los Angles totally understands now. I have no idea if that's what it is, but I definitely understand how some outside factors can affect work performance

I don't disagree, but does Alabama not have just as much external influence as anywhere else? I know everyone says that "well they just all have a commitment to winning" which I don't doubt but that's still a lot of people wanting to be a part of the program. I imagine the people at AU that want influence have a commitment to winning too, but why does most influence cause trouble And Alabama's not?

They did until the fear the thumb streak. Then it was get Saban and get out of his way or $$$ will go bye bye.
