What abt. Florida in 08 vs either Texas, Texas Tech, or Oklahoma (don't care how many losses they have-they play ranked teams not some 24 ranked Oregon or whoever) for Championship..

He has been successful, and it is really impressive. I look forward to seeing what Johnson does with Georgia Tech. Tech already had a good program except when they played Georgia. If Johnson can make his unique offense work, we should see even more success. On the other hand, coaches like Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel have a similar track record. Both coaches won at less than attractive stops including Tressel at Div I-AA. Gary Patterson, however, may have the toughest of the 10. TCU has a good tradition, but that tradition is lost in the present. Patterson isn't able to attract the best talent in the DFW area on a regular basis. He is playing with guys who don't get a lot of press coming out of high school, but they end playing really well for him. There are many coaches that deserve to be mentioned here. This is a subjective exercise. Maybe we need a top ten list of the best coaches you never heard of. Maybe you can help me develop that list. It would be worth posting. Thanks for posting Adam.

Not sure how you can not have Paul Johnson on this list. Each and every one of those coaches has proved nothing more than they can win at a place conducive to winning. Johnson has proven he can win at a place that was exactly the opposite. Wow. Not sure how you can not have Paul Johnson on this list.
