Ohio state =ND last year. Won 4-5 close games with luck. That was a 12-0 team that was more like an 8-4 football team.

They squeaked out some close games, which typically has to do with better coaching. You don't go undefeated without some luck.

The old ball sac is probably the best coach in the country. If he wasn't an old ball sac he'd be suitable to coach anywhere.

Aug 29, 2013, 9:20 AM

He has obviously accomplished a lot. Won at dook, won at Florida, won at USuCk. But can you honestly say that right now, he's a better coach than Saban and Meyer? Both of those guys are coming off of undefeated seasons, one of them back-to-back NC's. Meyer did it in his first year at OSU implementing a new system with guys who didn't really fit his system, while on probation.

Spurrier has completely changed USuCk's program, but right now, it's a losing argument to say he's better than those two.

undoubtedly unbelievable but to say the SEC has never been stronger is a joke. UT and UF have been down the last 5 years (I know UF won 11 games last year but they struggled against a lot of bad teams). The SEC East has been nowhere as good as it was 5 years ago and the Coots have benefitted from that vacuum.

just ignore it. You could argue that Paul Johnson is the best coach in the ACC if you only look at gameday coaching, but look at what's happened to that program as it has transitioned from Gailey recruits to PJ recruits.

Stoops has a national title and a boat load of Big XII championships. Sure he's gotten handled a few times in title games and other big bowls, but he's consistently put a great product on the field, and he deserves a lot of credit for that.

I've despised Spurrier since his days at UF, but


Aug 29, 2013, 9:20 AM

if you can't step back and recognize that he's a great coach, you are just letting the rivalry hatred completely blind you. The man won at Duke, he dominated the SEC and won a national championship at UF, and he has taken one of the worst programs in the country and turned them into a 10-11 win team. Obviously it took him awhile to get things turned around there, but i have no idea where 9 years came from. They made the SEC title game in his 6th season and won 11 games in his 7th and 8th seasons.

They were BLOWN OUT in their one, brief appearance in the title game. Nope, that doesn't quality as great.

The other coaches on my list have produced championship-calibre teams. Heck, I'd put Bob Stoops and Peterson in there as well if I could have seven ahead of Spurlid.

Spurrier, in his 9 years, hasn't. That's objective.

That is the proof of the pudding. He hasn't won squat.

Re: Top 5 Coaches in the country entering 2013

I think the fact Spurrier changed his ways to win at USC shows he is deeper than most give him credit for.

Not many 60+ coaches with tons of success would change their philosophy so freely in order to succeed. Shows humility accepting that what he did in the past may not work in the present.

Keep in mind the last time he went head to head with Saban he won

those saying he hasn't won squat are clueless. Does that mean Clemson hadn't won squat since 91 until 2011
