OT: Most Likable College Football Coaches
A month or two ago mine would be:
1. Joe Paterno
2. Rich Rodriguez
3. Randy Shannon
4. Bob Green (Montana Tech)
5. Jim Harbaugh
But now 4 of those 5 aren't coaching college football anymore. I'm perplexed, the best I can come up with is:
1. Joe Paterno
2. Brady Hoke
3. Pat Fitzgerald
Am I becoming jaded, or are most coaches just doucher A-holes?

In the immortal not-quite words of Woody Hayes, "I gave you +1 because I couldn't give you +2."

See, he does come off as a very classy and nice guy, but when it comes to doing the right thing (sitting 5 suspended players for the bowl game), he becomes just like any other coach motivated by wins alone. He could have sent a message to the team and set a precedent for the entire program, but he didn't.

I used to like a lot of college football coaches, but the more I find about them, the more I dislike.
Case in point: I've always respected Kirk Ferentz. Thought he was a respectable, nice guy. Turns out he'll turn a blind eye to just about everything short of murder.

Self-centered jackass

The guy who starts a flame war with a 20 year old kid?

I know "Hart started it" with his little brother comment, but a Head Coach should be above that, his retort was classless and juvenile...
Aside from that there is the fact that he had like 15 players arrested this last offeseason and the only starter who wasn't immediately reinstated was incarcerated. He's dirty, and smells of scum... he could coach any other school and I would root against him, but because he coaches for Sparty I despise him more than any other coach.

It was ignorant and also coming from a 20 year old kid not a grown man that is supposed to represent the University. Dantonio's a douche deal with it.

Jimbo Fisher. He is very well liked. Just snagged Nick O'Leary and seems to be luring kids back to FSU (based on 2011 recruits). I can see them becoming an ACC powerhouse very soon.

So huggable...
January 23rd, 2011 at 1:46 AM ^
Mark Mangino?
or Eric Mangini
I'm assuming you mean Mark Mangino since, he's the college coach
January 23rd, 2011 at 1:22 AM ^
To add to the list. Can do no wrong in Sooner land.
January 23rd, 2011 at 8:53 AM ^
My top 5 current coaches would be Joe Pa, Frank Beamer, Bob Stoops, Pat Fitzgerald, and Chris Petersen.
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:18 AM ^
January 23rd, 2011 at 11:46 AM ^
