"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?
