Is that for real?
Seriously, I wonder how many coaches in the entire country have a better win % over top 10 teams since 2008. I'd be stunned if it's more than 5.
ehhhh some of the coaches of really good teams probably do pretty well for themselves
My guesses:
Dabo (4-5)
Saban (16-9)
Urban Meyer (9-3)
...Patterson at TCU (8-5)?
Maybe Miles (8-13)
records shown above
It's no surprise that Saban and Meyer have better records, Patterson is very highly thought of (although it's important to note that several of TCU's top 10 wins are over Boise State), but the other two have not outperformed PJ.
Schultz's blog pretty much hits the nail on the head... I support CPJ because I never feel like we're out of it, even in down years. There have been very few games in his tenure where it seemed the team just quit and went belly up. Can't say that for the previous regime.
"Reality check: First, Paul Johnson is not getting fired. Nor does he deserve to be. Tech came into the season with high expectations and has had a mostly miserable season, losing five straight before the Saturday night miracle. But I mentioned this in “short takes” following the win over Florida State and I believe it’s worth repeating: Johnson’s teams, while they have the occasional dud, give players the belief they can win big games. They have won many: Florida State three times, Clemson five times, Georgia twice and No. 4 Virginia Tech in 2009, among them. There is no excuse for five straight losses. But credit Johnson for making his players believe they could win Saturday and had something to play for this season despite the fact conference title hopes were dead. Even when you take out the implausible ending of Lance Austin returning a blocked field goal 78 yards for the winning touchdown, Tech outplayed FSU for much of the evening and was surprisingly strong defensively. Under Johnson, Tech wins games that often nobody thinks they will. Now it needs to win games everybody thinks it should with far more consistency."
