1.) Jim Harbaugh

2.) Bob Stoops (have always been a fan)

3.) Chris Petersen (gets the most out of his players)

4.) Les Miles (he's funny and has a good personality)

5.) Bill Snyder (family man, loves his players, gets 110% effort from every man on the team)

Great list.

Would be based on position for me - or at least side of ball.  Offensive player is obvious - Oregon, Baylor, South Carolina, etc. 

Defensive side less so.

Those you listed are a good balance and either funny or just good coaches. Or both.

So everyone on here saying Meyer and Saban, Tressell even, are ok with playing for morally corrupt coaches. I wouldnt be able to even sit in the same room as those men let alone play for them. Butch Jones too, Malzhan, James Franklin, heard really negative things about a lot of the coaches mentioned in this thread. Surprising kind of, I guess it shouldnt be though because JUST WIN BABY!!!

Harbaugh because obviously

Pete Carroll, say what you will about the man, but his teams at USC were just flat out dominant. They took a top-10 OSU team in 2008 and made them look like absolute chumps.

Saban - he's a dick, sure, but he wins big time, and his teams have usually been downright nasty. Love the way his teams play the game. And he gets his guys to the NFL. So there's that.

Richt - plays very well in the SEC, and unless he's hiding something, he's doing it the right way.

Miles - not because I think he's an amazing coach, but everyday would be something new with that guy. I imagine he's a lot of fun to be around.

Frank Beamer is a really cool guy.. I remember when he recruited my brother, only reason he didn't go to V.T was Marcus Vick. Mark Richt is also really cool and caring for his players, my brother played for him at UGA. Harbaugh is an obvious. I would have loved to play for Coach Snyder at KSU though, the man has done so much with so little

1. Bo - Because he's Bo.

2. Jim Harbaugh - Because he's insane.

3. Pete Carroll - Hated his teams, but his players have always seemed to really enjoy playing for him.

4. Brady Hoke - Seems like such an awesome dude.  I don't see how anyone could not like him (coaching ability aside).

5. Hugh Freeze - All around good guy.
