Athlon Ranks Big Ten FB Coaches

  • spartytom said...

    I intensely dislike both of them, but I would have to put Meyer and Belima 1 and 2. Meyer has NCs, and the whisky buttwipe has been to the last 2 rose bowls.

    Bielema just picked up where Alvarez left off. Coach D pulled MSU out of the gutter all the way to a Big Ten Championship.

    The RCMB...is one of the most awful, alarming, inappropriate, disgusting, and offensive msg boards in the history of the internet.

    Dude, BTBR has been on our board a ton, provides a ton of T&A and has been nothing but a class citizen. I don't think he did this on purpose to piss us off. Dude is definitely not a troll (12K posts and a 96 rating). He's probably the #1 Nebraska poster on 247.

    This. and, he almost always brings broads with him.

    How I'd rank them:

    1. Pat Fitzgerald, Northwestern (6 years) 2. Mark Dantonio, Michigan State (6 years) 3. Urban Meyer, Ohio State (First year) 4. Brady Hoke, Michigan (1 year) 5. Bo Pelini, Nebraska (4 years) 6. Bret Bielema, Wisconsin (6 years) 7. Kirk Ferentz, Iowa (13 years) 8. Jerry Kill, Minnesota (1 year) 9. Tim Beckman, Illinois (First year) 10. Danny Hope, Purdue (4 years) 11. Kevin Wilson, Indiana (1 year) 12. Bill O’Brien, Penn State (First year)

    Fitz makes a team that has no business winning competitive. Urban could be #1 3 games into the season, but I put Urban at 3rd, because of health issues. He "retired" unlike Dantonio, who was able to come back to the program. Bielema would be a lot closer to the top if he didn't make questionable in-game decisions. Realistically any of the Top 7 could be #1 by the end of the season IMO if they have a championship season.

    I agree with this list.

  • just realized MD is the (tied) longest tenured coach in the B1G...mind bottling.

    B1G coaching has taken a few steps back over the last few years.

    Uhh, no. That would be Ferentz at 13 seasons. Also, this is Fitzgerald's 7th.

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    Don't get me wrong - wouldn't trade Dantonio for Blowmela for anything. But those Rose Bowls have to count for something. After we win it next year, there will be no argument.

    Appreciate it, Rocky. We've definitely got better than me, but the sentiment is appreciated. lol

  • How big is tenure in establishing yourself as a top coach, though? Let's be real -- there are some shoddy coaches around the country who have been at their schools for some time.

  • For the record, some of our Nebraska posters (and staff) agree that Hoke is too high. Need to prove himself further before he gets that high.

  • It would be kind to rank Hoke in the top 7. Stupid list.

    UM, Green Bay and Chicago teams all have one thing in common: They all suck

  • Much of coaches job is recruiting. I am afraid the recent success of Meyer and Hoke in this area might be influencing this ranking. I would say both need a couple more highly successful seasons at their respective schools before they get the 1 and 2 rankings. Based on what they have done so far at respecitve schools I would rank the top 6 as Bielema, Ferentz, Dantonio, Fitz, Hoke and then Meyer. Overall I think there are alot of great coaches in the B1G right now. Hard to name a stinker now that the Zooker and Rich Rod are gone.

    Thoughts, Spartans?

    Edit To Add: Here's a hot blonde -- stop negging me, ya assholes. Christ.

    WTF = Brady Hoke number 2 after 1 year? Give me a break! Let's see the Hokester took over a team that went to a bowl game the year before and won a few more games with a weak schedule. This with a program that has the 2nd biggest budget in the B10.

    Let's compare to MD. He inherited a team that was coming off 3 straight losing seasons and was a joke in the B10. He has been to 4 straight bowl games, had 2 straight 11 win seasons and just beat the 3rd place SEC team in a bowl.

    Yeah Hoke is a god!no

  • Am I the only one who always assumes FB means fullback? I was like why would anyone want to rank the fullback coaches

    I've posted here enough to where I'd think most would know that I don't come here to piss off Spartans. I like solid football talk. tRCMB has one of the bigger groups of posters on 247, and you're a Big Ten team. I don't see how this is too far fetched.

    Some of your posters have offered feedback, for what it's worth.

    Sorry, I'm late to this thread. You seem to be a nice enough alien poster from another board and you post great babes.

    (but that's just because I'm a traditional guy in the biblical sense where you ALWAYS kill the messenger and throw him into a burning pit. Nothing personal. )

  • My problem is that Urban Meyer has done ZILCH in the Big Ten. He doesn't even have one game under his belt.

    Shouldn't be on the list imo.

    I'm really surprised to see Pelini in your top five. Frankly, I didn't think he had made much of an impression on the Big Ten in his first season.

    He certainly made quite an impression on Dantonio, not mention any MSU fans (including on here) who are rational and honest with themselves (including myself). Damn, that was a spanking...

  • Hoke is still unproven as a high ranking B1G coach in my opinion. I'd place him in the middle of the pack right now until he does something to show his worth. He recruited well because Michigan still has a big football school reputation. I'll wait a couple of more years before granting him coaching sainthood.
