college coaches ranked 1-130...

Dino Babers - 63 Some people will be in shock once the team clicks. We saw what it can do when they are learning the basics, this season we will see what happens when pieces start coming together, depth increases and all facets of the game are improved. Let HCDB fly under the radar, once he strikes, his victims and the talking heads will never know what hit them!
 
I laughed at some of these rankings. Kirby Smart at 37? Hahaha yea right. This was a strange list outside of the top few coaches.

Dino will have his chance to move up. He's the guy I hope we go after if Dabo leaves and we don't offer Venables.

If we were to let him go to a conference rival, one in our own division no less, this place would be in total meltdown.

Where would Dabo go? The only two places I could see him going would be Alabama if Saban left for the Nfl, or the Nfl.

I was thinking more of Bama. Who knows if it would happen. It was more of an indictment on how good a coach I think Dino is.

I think Dabo is more long term with Clemson than some of the talking heads. He has built Clemson to be a perennial winner and contender for conference and national championships. Clemson will pay generously and will keep a good staff on hand. He is not expected to win the NC annually. When Saban retires, there will be many people vying for the job but only a couple will ever be able to truly deal with the pressure of following Saban. From Dabo (or any other elite level HC) why jump from an excellent gig to one where it is all but impossible to live up to expectations. This is why many coaches refuse to follow legends, expectations are unrealistic. Even if Saban's replacement were as good as Saban, the replacement will face constant criticism and continuous comparison to Saban. Who needs it? especially when you already have an elite position. Unless Clemson falls short on money, Dabo stays put and pulls a Stoops, going out on his own terms, or a Bowden, retiring when he is too old to handle the grind.

I completely agree with you. I'm just saying with what he's built at Clemson if he were to leave for another job I would think it would only be Bama at the college level.

I agree, I think Bama is the only place he would go, I don't see Dabo is an Nfl guy either, he was meant to coach college kids.

Agreed, Swinney would only leave for a true blue blood in excellent shape. No rebuilding projects only reloading projects.

Agree, it's easy to line up team records and then slot those head coaches accordingly. Its mostly poorly researched and isnt based on coaching potential and inherited rosters and program situations.

With the $$$ these guys make in cfb these days, you have to seriously be a bit twisted in the head to leave for a world of divas, media scrutiny, longer season, 4 pre-season games, whacky owners...on and on...
 
It's interesting to see certain names on the list. Butch Davis at 80 nearly 20 years after building one of the all time great college teams with Miami in 2001 (Larry Coker coached it but Davis built it). Bob Davie at 75. I didn't know he was coaching. Apparently, he's killing it with the triple option. At least I don't have to listen to his commentary anymore.

I think you mean "indication", not "indictment".
