When the BCS was the gold standard for quality bowl games, even those pathetic schools listed above qualified for at least one game, yet none of Gary's teams ever did, so you make a great point that he doesn't belong at #11 on a list of top coaches.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this issue. He's a good, but not great, coach whose teams have finished, on average, between 25 & 30 in the final polls, so I would rank him somewhere in the top 30 as a coach. I'm not saying he's a bad coach; just saying there no way to justify him at #11.
Those teams are programs are absolute crap and weren't good even then. kU* got in over Mizzou after being beat on the field. Why? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The BCS title game was legit. The rest were all about revenue.
Nice new nickname btw.
