Your Mount Rushmore of College Coaches?

Your Mount Rushmore of College Coaches? 


Like the Mount Rushmore of Presidents you can ONLY pick 4 coaches to make-up your Mount Rushmore of College Coaches.

Here are mine (in no particular oreder) :

1.) Frank Leahy - Notre Dame

2.) Woody Hayes - Ohio State

3.) John McKay -  U.S.C.

4.) Paul "Bear" Bryant  - Alabama

Why Leahy over Rockne?  Leahy has one more national title, but Rockne seems a bit more "iconic"..someone even a novice football fan would recognize.

Not a big TTUN fan, but Fielding Yost over McKay

Or Bud Wilkenson

Ihiw do you think of longevity guys like Paterno, Bowden, Eddie Robinson?

How do you justify Bo without a NCS?

I agree with Woody and Bear, but not the other 2.

Lmao at Bo Schembechler. The guy can't be near top4 without ever winning a NC. He is exalted for simply being Woody's rival during the Big 2 Little 8 days. Biggest fraud of all the coaching 'legends'. Comparing Woody and Bo is as comical as comparing Urban and Hoke. Oh wait...

Rockne, Leahy, Ara, Holtz. biggrin

But in all seriousness, there are so many coaches it is hard to pick just 4. 

Personally, I can say I can't put Bryant up because he went 0-4 vs ND losing 2 times to each Ara and Devine. Can't put up Bo because he never won a title. Can't put up Yost because he was an ass hole.

I was thinking Faust, Winningham, Devine(or his dog) and Charlie Cheeseburger. biggrin

Bo over Rockne or Leahy is hilarious.

How many titles did Bo win?

My answer is (alphabetically): Bowden, Bryant, Hayes, Rockne. Saban has the potential to move his way on there depending on how the rest of his career plays out.
