    According to CBS

    http://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...ach-rankings-power-five-coaches-ranked-65-26/

    Of the guys ranked ahead of him, I don't think I'd take Fedora or Fleck over Butch.

    I wouldn't take Freeze, but it has nothing to do with coaching ability, just the fact that Freeze is a sorry piece of shit.

    Sumlin seems like a consistent 8-4 guy too, so I don't know if I would take him either. His teams play sloppy, unorganized football.

    There are only 52 coaches in football in the NCAA? That doesn't seem right.

    Seems a fair ranking

    The article says 52nd out of 65, but "Who ya' gonna get?" if he's fired?

    I'd gladly trade Butch for Fedora or Fleck.

    I'd take Sumlin, too. Butch could never win 8 games in the West.

    I also think Derek Mason should be ahead of Butch.

    I'll take whatever is inside the mystery box over butch. I'd rather find student coaches.

    I think Fleck is Butch's bastard son

    I was high on Fleck until I heard him talking on Gameday. No thanks. Butch 2.0.

    Maybe so, but he really did a nice job at his last stop. Butch has done nothing but ride Brian Kelly's coattails and make promises he can't keep in order to look good on National Signing Day.

    I won't argue with it. Pretty good recruiter, builds some excitement, kind of a dunce at schemes and gameday planning, mostly keeps the program between the ditches.

    That's middle of the pack, which is probably a lot farther from the front of the pack than most people realize.

    Hell, our AD probably saw this article and started working on giving him a raise.

    Y'all are all wrong. Mike Griffith said it was a stupid list

    I'd hope so. We've got a top 100 coach on our hands. If he were a recruit, that would make him a 4 star. Hopefully we bump up his buyout as well.

    Mike Griffith also said we'd win between 7 and 11 games next year. Bold.

    Butch Jones is a better football coach than Mike Griffith is a sports writer. That there's something

    And Butch wins by a lot in that comparison
