You should not be so bitter just because Bama didn't grab Saint Bobby when they had the chance.

Bear Bryant was a great coach but he had great atheletes like Forrest Gump playing for him. The best college coach of all time was Lou Grant.

Eddie Robinson.  :)

but hblair is right.  Bear is the best.  Not only did he do all of those things, but nearly 20 years after his death, every Tide fan still worships him and would do anything to ressurect him so he could once again lead Alabama to glory.  (also could be phrased as "he brainwashed every Tide fan from then until the end of time that he was actually God.")  :D

Of course Knute Rockne might have set records the Bear would never reach had he lived longer.

I'm going with John McKay (sp?) for personal sentimental nostalgic type reasons. :)

Folks the above is yet another IF argument.

I don't think you can rule out Joe Paterno. He has done some great coaching jobs over the years just like Bear Bryant did here at Alabama. You also have John Robinson, Bo Schembechler, (I hate what I am about to write) Steve "Superior" Spurrier and Howard Schnellenberger.

That is just a small part of what could be a list of the "Best college coaches" since you need to include coaches who have done very well at the other levels of college as well.
