There's talk in the "Leahy" thread about Coach L. not getting the respect he deserves. Lou mentioned a top 10 poll that includes Bo Schembechler but not Coach Leahy. Crazy, eh?
I'm mid fifties... so I don't know a lot about Pop Warner, or Alonzo Stagg, but would think they belong.
Eddie Robinson? Jimmie Johnson? Bowden?
Is the criteria just wins? Natties? Notoriety?
I'm not smart enough to order these at this point, so here's my first volley in no particular order. I'm sure I'm leaving out some obvious choices and will start changing my mind as soon as folks start chiming in.... a lot of this is simply perception over 50+ years... but that counts, right?
Knute Rockne
Frank Leahy
Eddie Robinson
Alonzo Stagg
Glenn "Pop" Warner
Bear Bryant
Woody Hayes
Joe "I saw nothing" Paterno
Bobby Bowden
There's 9...... Do you include, Lou? Ara? Saban? McKay?Vince Dooley? Mack B? Osborne? McKay? Switzer? Neyland? Wilkinson? Even Bo?
Help a brother out.... Who are yours?
