I am no Urban fan, and he definitely has his sleazy moments.  But he has never been credibly accused of cheating. 
not even at Florida?

Urban won at BGSU and then Utah.  Spurrier won at Duke FCOL.  Bryant won at UK.  That indicates good coaching, to me.  It would be akin to some coach taking over at say "Indiana" or some such and winning the NC (I know, I use a ridiculous semile).

That is a strange term. It's like something something, metaphorically speaking.

31 players went to the slammer in his 6 yrs there. But Fla. recruits weren't shooting to make the Dean's list,just the team. Or just shooting :017:

Wilkinson, Oklahoma

OU football was placed on major NCAA probation twice in a five-year span (1955 and 1960) during Wilkinson's tenure for illegally paying players out of a $125,000 slush fund for a decade and a half

Replace Wilkinson with Bill Snyder, and I can roll with that.

Arguables: Urban, JoePa, Tom Osborne, Frank Beamer, Hayden Fry, Barry Alvarez.  Kirby Smart is climbing the list fast.

Saban
Bryant
Rockne
...

#4 is the only tough one for me: Bowden, Hayes, McCay, Osborne, Leahy, Meyer, Wilkinson, Switzer (on this list there's a little if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'), Pop Warner, Darrell Royal, JoPa (but I can't forgive the scandal)...

Leaning into the MNCs, Woody Hayes it is.

He, like a lot of great coaches, are hitting the wall in the new era.  Will be interesting to see if he rights the ship.  Saban, arguably the greatest ever, suddenly quit over the changes, as did our coach this last year.

If Cignetti continues what he has done for a few more years, he would be on the rock.  It's really unbelievable--woulda never thunk it 5 years ago.

I agree with all of that. We need to save space for Cig if he keeps this up.

My list was more about coaches who brought programs up from the dead.

Hayden Fry did it himself and he spawned a few others who did it too. We know who they are.

OU was a mess before Stoops showed up. Yeah, it's Oklahoma, but still.
