    "Florida is coming off a relatively disappointing season, which explains why Tressel ranks ahead of Meyer despite the Gators' one-sided victory over Ohio State in the national title game two years ago."

    but LSU isnt coming off a relatively disappointing season.:milesmic:

    How can you put Meyer ahead of Miles? Each has a BCS-NC. Miles is 34-6 in 3 seasons, Meyer is 27-9 in the same period. And Meyer's record for pampering problem children on his team is much more relevant to his overall coaching ability than, say....

    Head to head records are great if situations are identical. However, that is impossible.

    Taking nothing away from Miles, cause I really like the guy, but I think most would rank Meyer above Miles. I don't have a problem with it.

    14. Mark Mangino , Kansas
    The buzz: Can anyone explain why Mangino wasn't mentioned as the first choice of any school that had a coaching vacancy this offseason?

    The answer here is simple. Relocation costs will be through the roof. You have to buy 3 seats on the plane for him or you could ship him cargo which will be costly. Then you have to deal with the specially designed for the obese living quarters. The only way he'll leave Kansas is to take the Notre Dame or Maryland jobs. Those markets are sure to have at least one house that is equipped with extra wide doorways, steel reinforced foundations and cheeseburger dispensers.

    I do, after we won the NC this past season. You have to put Miles ahead now based on each coach's respective accomplishments at their schools. In addition, each has been at his school the same amount of time.

    Miles
    1 SECC
    1 BCSNC
    2 SEC CG appearances
    34-6 overall record

    Meyer
    1 SECC
    1 BCSNC
    1 SEC CG appearance
    27-9 overall record
