Meyer declined ND to come to Florida, I have a feeling he is going to stay with Florida a long time unless he gets offered a job at OSU which he won't till Tressell leaves or until he gets offers from the NFL,
...Or unless his W-L starts to look like 9-4 perenially, allowing Georgia and Tennessee to beat him on a regular basis, and y'all run him out of town.
(For the record, I think that's HIGHLY unlikely, but jes' sayin'.)

You would honestly leave of Nick Saban? Are you nuts....
Until he proves something at Alabama, yes. If he gets 'Bama atop the SEC West this season, then he'd shoot up my rankings.
The bias on the top of this list is the assumption that a "Power Coach" is at a "Power" program.
Huh? Rutgers was a power program when Schiano arrived? Kansas was a power program when Mangino got there?
I won't argue particular guys being on this list, but I will argue one that is left off. Like Shnellenberger, Jim Grobe at Wake Forest has built a program from the ground up.
Grobe is a very good call. You know who else I left off, Dan Hawkins, who built Boise State into a nationally prominent program, and is quickly restoring Colorado to relevance.

Ridiculous, slow down on a couple of newcomers. Zook and mangino ahead of Mark Richt. You need to move Richt to the top 5 right behind Carrol, Tressel (Don't like the slimy little bastard), and Stoops.

I would put Coach Tressel at No.1, every college program he touches he turns to gold. he is the real Midas. There is a reason he has not coached for several teams. Also I would take Rodriguez off the list. If I was a manager at McDonalds I would'nt hire this guy. He has a serious integrity problem, knows nothing of loyalty, and makes very poor decisions. Given these traits he will be a perfect fit at Michigan.

Gawsh, it's almost hard to tell... you're not... a Buckeye fan, perchance?

Richt at 13 doesn't bother me. I think he should have at least one title by now with all of our talent. However, having Mangino, Erickson, Zook, Petrino, Bielema, and Schiano ahead of him would be very funny, if it weren't so sad. Mangino? Seriously? He has never won anything. Erickson won a national title at Miami, where my mom could have coached and won one then. Zook may be the funniest thing on the list, again, has never won anything. Petrino did at least win a conference title, but in the worst conference. Bielema has also never won anything. Schiano can barely finish above .500 in the BIG EAST, and has never won anything. Now, I'm Richt's loudest critic, but no way can these guys be ahead of him in anything involving football. Richt has been in the top ten 5 out of the last 6 years. These guys have had one good year, and in Schiano's case no good years. I'd put Richt ahead of RichRod as well. They both have the same amount of Conference titles, Richt with the strongest conference, and RichRod with the weakest. That gives Richt the nod though. And if, as you say, your going with a "power ranking", how can a coach that has finished in the top ten 5 out of 6 years, finish #2 last year, be a pre-season #1 or 2 this year, consistantly have top 10 recruiting classes, and be in a BCS Bowl 50% of the time all while being in the SEC be behind the likes of Shiano and Bielema in any kind of poll? Strange indeed.

How long... I should not have said you were slamming Spurrier. If you were an AD, as you have described, and was not happy with the current head coach and wanted to take your program in a different direction, Mangino shouldn't be in the top twenty. I agree with you that Kansas has little football tradition and yes Mangino took them to a BCS bowl but....
1. Who did they beat to get into that bowl?? Central Mich. (8-6), Southeastern Louisiana Div II(3-8), Toledo (5-7) FIU (1-11), Kansas State (5-7), Baylor (3-9), Colorado (6-7), Texas A&M (7-6), Nebraska (5-7), Oklahoma State (7-6), and Iowa State (3-9) Kansas beat 3 teams just over .500. That's not a very tough road to a BCS bowl do you think??
2. Mark Mangino has been at Kansas since the 2002 season and has amassed a record of 37-36 in 7 years and has had only had 2 winning seasons 2005 (7-6) and 2007 (12-1).
3. Since 2002 has not had 1 top 25 class in recruiting.
4. Not the face that i would want as the head of my program. He is kinda like Ralph Friedgen of Maryland, vastly overweight and sloppy. He looks as though he could check have major health problems at any time.
I can't really comment on Mr. Mangino's intangables since I simply do not know.

What does it matter? They got there, right? Scheduling is a huge part of any team's success... even an SEC program's! Don't you SEC types EVER get tired of parading this argument as though it's in some way decisive? It's like there's some extra class in elementary school down there that impresses this mind-numbing adage about schedules upon your pre-pubescent brains.
Mark Mangino has been at Kansas since the 2002 season and has amassed a record of 37-36 in 7 years and has had only had 2 winning seasons 2005 (7-6) and 2007 (12-1).
Lies, damned lies, and statistics. You're looking at it the wrong way. He took a program that was laughable and progressively improved them to the point that they made a BCS bowl. Did you expect him to win ten games his first year at Kansas?
Since 2002 has not had 1 top 25 class in recruiting.
Yet he managed to win a BCS Bowl with these "inferior" players. Isn't that more impressive?
Not the face that i would want as the head of my program. He is kinda like Ralph Friedgen of Maryland, vastly overweight and sloppy. He looks as though he could check have major health problems at any time.
Uh...
I can't really comment on Mr. Mangino's intangables since I simply do not know.
But you're perfectly comfortable commenting on his ostensible sloppiness...

BookDawg you hit the nail on the head. Coach Richt has never had a had a losing season at Georgia. His worst record was 8-4 (1st year). Has been to the SEC championship game 3 times in 7 years winning 2. Has been to bowl games every year and to the Sugar bowl 3 times losing only once by 3 points. Has had been in the top ten recruiting for the past 6 years according to Rivals. Runs a clean program and doles out discipline immediately. The only reason that I can see an A.D. not going after Richt is the fact that knowing what kind of guy he is and the fact he has already said he plans on staying at Georgia.
