Coaching? Everyone knows that the powerhouse programs just run themselves, so long as you have a somewhat competent coach. Just look at Notre Dame, Nebraska, Michigan, Florida State, Miami, pre-Saban Bama, Texas, USCw, etc.
The programs don't run themselves. You still need a great coach to have a dominant program. 

The powerhouse/helmet teams just have a much easier time recruiting and so many built in advantages- that a really great coach can turn one of those programs into a powerhouse. 

Being at a Michigan or OSU or ND or Bama or USC or Texas gets you in the living room of any recruit in the country. 

Shit, Michigan sucks asssss right now and they are believed to be the leader in the fight to land 2022 5*, #2 player overall in the nation and #1 CB in the nation in Domani Jackson out of California. He's from California but he grew up loving Michigan and the helmets and the fight song. 

Helmet programs like that just have so many advantages- that when the right coach is in place- they thrive.

Mdot, take a breath... That was sarcasm.

Every example of programs "that run themselves" was of programs that are/were on very hard times due to lack of great coaching.

I think a program like UGA can win 10+ games a year with an average coach.  And frankly, there aren't many well above average coaches in CFB, ever, just as there are not many really awful coaches (for obvious reasons).

Which current coaches do you think are clearly "above average" extant in P5 today?  Some of them are maybe, like say Mullen (who might well be above average).

Is Day a well above average coach?  How can we know for sure at this point?  What about Orgeron?

Which current coaches do you think are clearly "above average" extant in P5 today?  Some of them are maybe, like say Mullen (who might well be above average). Off the top on my head,Mullen and maybe Patterson,Cutcliffe use to be bantered about,I don't follow Duke so........The Univerties in Indiana are certainly stoked well Kelly,Brohm and Allen wouldn't have a problem with any of these.Many like Clawson at Wake has taken them to 4 bowl games in which they won 3.Fuentes was a hot commodity when VTech scooped him up a few yrs back.As afore mentioned Fickell/Campbell and I'd end with the Pirate and Pat Fitz at NU.Oh and I still like Frost if he can get the roster filled out.I might mention Chryst but he's not going anywhere - Packers perhaps

Is Day a well above average coach?  How can we know for sure at this point? Offensively he certainly is and has gotten the attention of highly sought after QBs - so far
