Looking at the Top 35 College Coaches

Looking at the Top 35 College Coaches

After looking over Hoop Scoop’s Clark Francis rating of the top 60 coaches, I figured why not take a snag at the debatable chronicle circle of college coaches.  I’m unsure of what criteria or formula the animated surly evaluator based his rating system on, but our over-all view will be judging on the success a program has had during a 5 or 6 year period not a bunch of political malarkey.  Programs that are perennial leaders year and year out, regardless of who they lose in terms of players.
