[Husker] Ranking the Coaches

[Smith, William]

But in head to head games???

advantage:  Stoops.  

Plus, I've always liked Stoops since I saw I'm on some "hot seat" feature on ESPN a few years ago.  When asked the question: "Outside of Norman, the best fans in the Big 12 are in ___________________".  

Rather quickly and without the expected qualification "Gee, they're great everywhere", Stoops answered "Lincoln".  

Now you might consider that a slamdunk question, but I still gotta give the guy his due.

I think Mac Brown wins hands down. Stoops won one early but has destructed 
in bowl games lately. Brown out-recruits everyone. Stoops assistants have 
gone alot of places but they haven't lit the world on fire since they left. 
I know this is a small detail, but... if I'm the "smartest coach in the 
world" I probably would question my starting QB working for a used car 
dealer that got my starting RB in trouble the year before.

Plus, I'm a Husker... I get paid to hate OU.
