"Best Coach Since Leahy?"

Below, Ken posits Urban Meyer as the BCSL.

Long ago on BGS we had a post featuring some research on big name coaches versus top 10 competition. Leahy was indeed the king of that mountain:

What is Urban's record versus the top 10? And how does it stack up to Bryant, Blaik, Switzer, Parseghian, Royal, Spurrier, Hayes, Wilkinson, McKay, Bowden, Osborne, etc, etc?

        What kind of offense do the aliens run? - PMan, 2015-07-24, 12:47
        
        They run the veer. It's unstoppable. - BillyGoat, 2015-07-24, 12:49
