Ranking of Top Ten Coaches in the B1G

Bullish on Oregon’s chances to “make the playoffs”? Lol, if Ore doesn’t make the playoffs, Lanning should receive a 25-life prison sentence. Clay Helton could make the playoffs with that roster (seriously).

Look, teams with an ‘upward trajectory’ are backed by NIL. Player development is second, and behind by some margin. That’s it. It’s not rocket science. You ducks think it has something to do with your uniforms? 🤣

the f ups at USC is still working out the kinks on NIL. If they do, then they’ll be ok. If they don’t, the program is screwed. 1+2= 3.14,,, simple.

I’m gonna save that silly quote of yours, if that’s ok with you, Duck…. “King of the B1G” 😂

Agree with most of what you posted. Miami and Tenn are still players.

There has always been sacks if cash , but flat out buying a natty just doesn’t interest me .

I guess you wouldn’t know the difference. sc

Clay Helton?? You do realize Clay Helton signed classes in his first 4 recruiting seasons that ranked higher than Oregon's during Lanning's time here:

2nd

10th

4th

4th

Compared to Lanning signing classes in his first 2.5 seasons that ranked:

13th

9th

3rd (currently)

C'mon, Brad - you have to be smarter than this? Please tell me you are: "Helton could make the playoffs with Oregon's roster"..... 🙄? Fact is he couldn't do it with a BETTER roster....😆

And btw, yes feel free to quote me on anything going forward if you'd like, free rein to do so.

Only make sure I actually wrote it...not sure if I ever said Oregon was "king" of anything....lol I believe that term is reserved for blue bloods specifically.... 🙂

Oregon never will be, nor IMO would we ever WANT to be, a blue blood.

I’d put Lanning a tie with Smith. 1-1 H-H.

It all remains to be seen, but you have to look at what coaches have to

Work with (talent, NIL, etc). If I (me) had what Lanning has, I’d invade China. Difference is I wouldn’t F it up.

I’m one bad dude, TEE. And so is Jonathan Smith IMO

Looking forward to seeing what Deboer can do at Alabama. Is he as good as many suspect? Or will he become Mike Shula Part Two following in the footsteps of Saban? Will be fascinating to see if he can keep what Saban started...

IMO Smith is way overrated and sitting with a losing record at 34-35 as a HC all time doesn't do much for me, not sure why it does much for others simply because of one 10-3 season.

No question Dans ranking is based on potential and momentum. I don’t get bent out of shape when some say he hasn’t accomplished anything yet. But he does seem like he’s on a trajectory to be special.

Coaching lists are tough. You could argue Fickel and Smith are as good of coaches as Day and Riley based on special seasons they had at Cinnicnatti and OSU and the talent level they were coaching vs the elite talent at Ohio St and OU.

Solid/reasonable duck post.

Yep. Saban didn’t win sheet with lesser talent at MSU. How many Rose Biwl wins or NCs. Give him Alabama resources and talent and he’s Superman.
