1. Bear Bryant
If only one coach could be synonymous with college football until the end of time, it would be the near-mythical, charismatic, great Paul “Bear” Bryant. As the story goes, Bear earned his nickname by literally wrestling a bear at a carnival when he was a teenager. After playing for the Crimson Tide and head coaching stints at Maryland, Kentucky and Texas A&M, he made his mark back at Bama where he won six national championships, 13 SEC titles and went 35-13-2 against rivals Auburn and Tennessee.

2. Nick Saban
Alabama built him a statue 15 months after winning his first national title with the program, and Saban has become even more legendary since. Entering his 12th season with the Crimson Tide, he’s led the program to five national championships, six SEC titles, and produced two Heisman winners while developing some of college football’s greatest defenses of all time and an unmatched level of consistency and dominance. The worst part for the competition? At 67 years old, retirement isn’t on his radar.

An article that doesn't make itself a prisoner of the moment. I applaud the effort. If any adjustments need to be made maybe just a few, slightly. Woody Hayes had a scary football program and he would go in front of Tom Osbourne in my world. But the rest all have their rightful place in the many eras of college football.

But slugging that Clemson player will always be front and center with Woody...period
