Underrated/Overrated according to coaches

These are interesting lists...

I was under the impression Kirk Ferentz was highly esteemed by his peers. I'm curious how else they account for his success in a place where recruits are hard to come by. Reminds me a bit of Dan Snyder at KSU. How he can stay competitive against his peer teams is amazing.

I don't know what to make of the underrated list... all of those guys are highly respected who are universally admired for their successes. I think the 'underrated' label may be more a factor of the limitations of their programs than a genuine perspective about their abilities. I guess we'll see now vis-a-vis Dan Mullen now that he's got the keys to a Ferrari. Let's hope he drives over that dawg in the road ahead of him.
Yeah, Kansas St has been pretty impressive, especially since they are coached by an actual dead person.

On a dollar-adjusted basis, he's gotta be near the bottom. About 2 weeks after signing a $45M contract extension in 2016, he led his #13 ranked Hawkeyes to a home loss against North Dakota State.

  • He’s stayed at Georgia Tech this long because he’s digging a tunnel into the Federal Reserve vault across the interstate. When he finishes it and makes his last big score, he’s out of the game for good this time.”
  • “When he was at Navy, Paul slapped the Army mule once. Not out of rivalry, just cause he thinks mules need constant slappin’.”

But why would anyone adjust by pay? That's a rating of how good the coach's agent is, nothing more. And it's not like any AD in the country prefers to maximize dollar-adjusted wins rather than wins. Who would want a 2 wins at $5,000 apiece in coach's salary?
