In his most recent mailbag, Stewie Mandel ranks the best and worst coaches in College Football. The Top 10 is full of all the usual suspects with our savior Pete Carroll at #1. (One surprise was Jim Grobe at #7, since 99.7% of college football fans couldn’t even have named the Wake Forest head coach before last season.) I was impressed, however, with the inclusion of TCU’s Gary Patterson at #10. He works at a small private school and still manages to scare the crap out of the Big 12 each season in September.

The bottom 5 begins with Stewie’s favorite whipping boy, Al Groh. You would think that Mandel went to Virginia the way he rips Groh.* All of college football knows that Al has done less with good talent than any coach in America—but is he really the worst coach? My vote would go to Phil Fulmer, who’s done even less with even more, and continually gets outcoached in game situations by guys with less talented players.

* Stewie went to Northwestern, btw.
