HooplaNation's All-Time Greatest CFB Coach Tourney - Entry Thread

I am thinking 16-seed double-elimination bracket with semifinal losers going for 3rd, but could change on how these early threads go. Which coaches do you think should be included in this bracket? Don't have to rank them, just list.

Winner gets 3rd and loser gets fourth?
 
While I believe Saban is a great coach, Tom Osborne did what he did in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Saban is legendary. But could he do it in the middle of nowhere?
Could Osborne have success similar to Saban's if he coached in the talent laden SEC region?

They are right by Georgia and Florida which are both top 3/4 recruiting states and closer to Texas which is also one of best

Georgia and especially Florida is loaded with talent, but also, the gulf coast states are some of the most talent rich states in the country per capita as well. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana produce a lot of talent for their relatively low populations.

And now Saban is getting 5 star QBs out of that USC pipeline HS in SoCal.

Saban was barely mediocre at Michigan state. He didn't do anything until he moved south to the fertile recruiting grounds of the SEC.

Absolutely. 💯

This shouldn’t even be close. They’ve constantly changed rules to slow down Sabans dominance and it still hasn’t worked. He just adapts and keeps going

Easy to do when you have the players. He is blessed with great recruiters on his staff.
