i agree how could beamer be on there and not Bowden?

Beamer does more with what he has than most anyone in the country. He has shown he can consistently take recruiting classes ranked 30-45 and make a top 15 team out of them. I'd like to see him get 4-6 top 10 classes and watch him work with them. FSU reels in top 10 classes every year it seems so I would expect a Texas, Miami, UT, USC or FSU to finish ahead of them on a regular basis due to the "superior" talent they bring in.

Bowden has had one losing season in 30 years at FSU, and that was his first season. I have a hard time believing that he had superior talent for all of those seasons, especially the early years.

He's also never lost a game to VT, 3-0 while at WV and 11-0 while at FSU, once again he owns Beamer.

And all those teams that you expect to finish ahead of VT on a regular basis, well they usually do...

Finally, remember that this is a ranking of the best and worst coaches right now, not over their entire careers. Therefore, the emphasis is almost entirely on recent performance (the past three to five seasons). Also, guys who have been college head coaches for less than three seasons, like Charlie Weis and Bill Callahan, were not considered.

I'm not saying Bowden isn't a great coach. He is indeed but I think some may have overlooked the criteria of his list. Not the career of a coach but looking at the past 5 or so years.

I understand that, but what has Beamer done the past 5 years that Bowden hasn't.

1 more person that has to be in the top 10.........there is this guy....I believe he coaches Penn State.........He's won a few ball games in his time, including a BCS bowl last year............yeah...he's missing

[gcdevil22]

because one good season in the last decade doesnt put you on the list

he can be on the list of best over a long time period that are still in the biz...(joe pa, bowden, beamer, fulmer) but not the best of today
