You have to be a complete psychopath to be a successful D1 Football coach. If you’re not, you’re probably not very good. Their lives revolve around Football spending every waking moment of a 15ish week season on their teams, not to mention recruiting visits, dealing with the media, and all of the other shit that comes with being a coach.
This is a collection of the 8 personalities in CFB that would be best to have a beer with. I gave preference to the bigger names and CFB elite as nobody really cares about some mediocre team in the Mountain West’s coach. Is that fair? No. Life isn’t fair get over yourself.
Honorable Mentions:
- Tom Herman
- Herm Edwards
- Jimbo Fisher
- Dan Mullen
- Kirby Smart
- Mike Gundy
8: Dabbo Swinney Clemson
Dabbo is just a nice guy. Players love playing for him and coaches love coaching for him. With that being said, he just wouldn’t be as entertaining as some of these other nut jobs. He recently took a picture with Drake which is cool and all, but he’s carrying the curse now. Staying away from that at all costs.
7: Les Miles Kansas
Les Miles was a perennial contender at LSU and is about to go into his first season coaching arguably the worst team if Power Five. He has single handedly put some hope into a fan base that didn’t even know they had a football team. People over 50 shouldn’t be on any social media aside from the deadzone formerly known as facebook, but Miles has been on a Twitter tear this offseason. Funny dude in an awkward old white guy kinda way. You know the type. Leaving him outside this list would be a tragedy.
6: Lane Kiffin FAU
With Urban Meyer’s retirement, Lane Kiffin is probably the biggest dickhead in CFB. His Twitter presence and troll mentality is unmatched on this list. He’s actually so hated by Tennessee fans (due to his days at Bama) that he was asked to wear a bullet proof vest during his trip to Knoxville. Hopefully FAU can be a Top 25 team sometime soon because he is must watch TV.
5: Nick Saban Alabama
Saban has been the best coach in CFB over the past decade and has built one of the biggest dynasties in sports. I feel like Saban would have some great stories about his career as well as coaching with Belichick. He’s had some funny quotes of late. Not much else to say here.
4: Dana Holgorsen Houston
The amount of drugs Dana Holgorsen puts in his body on a daily basis is rivals Jordan Belfort. If he took a drug test, he would score 100. Dude is absolutely WIRED. A few beers would probably be the healthiest substance entering his body in years. You could easily make a case for him Top 3. Dana would be a guaranteed fun time.
3: Jim Harbaugh Michigan
Outside of maybe Nick Saban, Harbaugh is definitely the biggest name on this list. Off the field he seems like a pretty likeable guy. About a year ago a report came out that Harbaugh Wants His Players to Only Eat Beef for Protein Because Chicken Comes from A “Nervous Bird“. If a normal human said that nobody would take them seriously. Jim Harbaugh is not a normal person. Unarguably a Top 3 prospect.
2: Ed Ogeron LSU
Ed Ogeron embodies Football. Knowing his personality, he probably has the best stories of the group and would be an absolute electric factory to get a drink with. It would be easier to understand Dark Vader than Coach O which hurts his stock. If you can understand 1/3 of what he says you’re basically bilingual.
1: Mike Leach Washington State
If you get a chance, watch the above video. All time video. WSU won the most games in history last season at 11-2 and Leach is asserting himself as one of the best coaches in CFB. He’s also probably the funniest. Dude literally doesn’t give a fuck about what people think. He would definitely have some priceless takes on life and would be No. 1 on my board.
