Great minds think alike.


How's this for an indirect tie-in for the book?

Every year Matt Hayes of The Sporting News (we like him, he's a good guy), ranks all the coaches in college football, and for the fourth straight year he has Nick Saban at No. 1, while bumping Steve Spurrier up to second.

As ESPN's Chris Low (another good guy) put it, "I can't say that I would disagree with him."

Here are his top 10 with the link to the story:
1. Nick Saban, Alabama
2. Steve Spurrier, South Carolina
3. Urban Meyer, Ohio State
4. Bob Stoops, Oklahoma
5. Brian Kelly, Notre Dame
6. Chris Petersen, Washington
7. David Shaw, Stanford
8. Les Miles, LSU
9. Mark Dantonio, Michigan State
10. Jimbo Fisher, Florida State

BTW, the photo is of Saban's plaque in the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, which I recently visited in Birmingham. Link
