TSN's Elite Coaches
This weeks Sporting News has an article ranking college footballs top coaches nationally and by conference. JT came in 6th nationally. Conference-wise coaches are rated on a scale of 1-5. In the Big 10, both JT and Ferentz were given fives, LLLoyd was given a four along with Alverez and Tiller, and poor old JoePa has slipped to a 3.... Here's the national top 10:
1. Pete Carroll (Big Surprise)
2. Steve Spurrier (???)
3. Bob Stoops
4. Kirk Ferentz
5. Frank Beamer
6. Jim Tressel
7. Phil Fulmer
8. Mack Brown
9. Dan Hawkins (Boise St.)
10. Tom O'Brien (Boston College)

I agree with this mostly...though I don't think Boise St really should be mentioned in the same breath as the other programs on the list...Spurrier had some pretty impressive success at Florida...if he can duplicate it it'll show he deserves the ranking, if he can't he probably won't be on the list in a couple years...but it is tough to argue with him being on the list
Frank Beamer is one of the best coaches out there for my money, I'm glad he got some respect

IMO, Ferentzs is way to high without a BCS win and/or a National Title. I also like where Llyod Carr is on the list  |

Stoops is totally undeserving of that lofty ranking with the way his teams have finished the last two seasons... Spurrior is a good coach, who had exactly ZERO undefeated seasons while in Gainesville... i am skeptical as to whether or not he'll take the Cocks to the elite level, so he's ranked too high as well... my take?
1) Petey
2) Kirk Ferentz
3) Jim Tressel
4) Frank Beamer
5) Boob Stoops
6) Jeff Tedford
7) Darth Visor
8) Fat Phil
9) Bobby Petrino
10) Mack Cooper-- er, i mean Brown

for Ferentz to take a moribund Iowa Program, in which he went 1-11 his first season, to three consecutive 10 win seasons, and 3 straight top 8 finishes, which are unprecedented in Iowa Football history, without the stellar recruiting classes of the LSU's, Texas's, OU's, Ohio State's, and USC's of the world, is an amazing accomplishment... i was half tempted to put him in first place...

I was a bit surprised that Urban Meyer was left off the list with all the praise he's gotten the past couple years. I mean if Hawkins is getting the love, why not Meyer? I guess we'll see how he does in the SEC. I also agree that Tedford and Petrino have an argument to be in there.

WTF... Steve Superior????
The redskins sucked under him, and he hasn't coached college in years....
Ferrentz although a good coach is getting his freaking cock blown by the media for not having done much in the bowls.
and yes, to whomever said it, I love where Llloyd ranks!  |

He has taken Iowa from the gutter to being in 4 straight bowls, and I believe they won 3 of them, with the one loss being to USC a couple of years ago...which is certainly nothing to be ashamed of
And I believe Iowa has won/shared 2 Big 10 titles, but I might be a bit off on that |
