The best coach in college football is...

Pete Carroll according to this story by Dennis Dodd of Sportsline.com. Hard to argue his point based on results.

A couple years back I had a discussion with some buddies about who they would want as coach of their team if they could have anyone. I chose Urban Meyer. Despite some doubts about his ethics when it comes to recruiting (including the C.J. Spiller incident) Meyer has won a national championship at Florida and many predict him to win another in 2008.

One interesting aside is there is no Mack Brown on Dodd's list of 8 (Carroll plus 7 others) which has some Texas fans upset judging by the comments after the article. Mack has a great record and a national championship in his 10 years at Texas. He also has a grand total of 1 conference championship and has lost at least 4 games he should have easily won in the last two years.

That said, Nick Saban? Sure he won a national championship at LSU few years back, but what about a 7-6 record and a loss at home to UL-Monroe puts you in such elite company?
