Hey you want to make an omlets ya gotta break a few eggs ~???.

Classic case of leading a pretty decent life - serving your country in WWII and getting remembered for one assinine moment. The game had passed him by and most, myself included wanted him to hang them up

P.S. - BTW ya left out Frank Kush

He did quite well at LSU though, and it's one of his NC's.  But my larger point is consistency.  You're either looking at a whole career for everyone or you're looking at just the "best" stops for everyone.  Yet that list clearly cherry-picks two places for Urban and leaves off everybody else's less fantastic tenures. 

Which is doubly bizarre considering Saban had a 75% win% and a NC at LSU, and Urbz was great at two other schools, as you mentioned.  But he didn't win NC's there, so it's left out.  But if you include multiple stops for him, then the other coach's other jobs should be included as well.
It's just a shit clickbait online list.  You're readying way too much into it.  Hell, it's probably inconsistent just to cause a reaction like yours.

I guess this demonstrates popular perception and how/where coaches are remembered.  Why is Urban listed with UF and OSU, but not Utah?  And why is he the only one listed with multiple schools?  Nick Saban could be listed with MSU and LSU, Bear Bryant with Kentucky and A&M, etc.  Would it change the list any?  Don't know, but it definitely feels like a cherry-pick.  I wouldn't have thought twice about it if Urbz hadn't been the only one identified with multiple schools. 
Setting aside this being a sort of dumb list, I’d assume you don’t want too many teams listed on the bottom.

If you limit it to main schools/titles, we just make sense to add LSU to Nick and call it a day.
