Nice! On the list is amazing considering no national championships.
Homer glasses aside, 150 years of football, 3 conference championships, no heisman winners, no national championships, not bad to be on the list!
You’ve got to be kidding. CBY deserves at least 50 points higher. He built a no name program up from scratch to be a power in what was at that time one of the power conferences while revolutionizing offensive football.

Reading through the list it is a respectable ranking. Any fan of the coaches from 100-150 have an argument to be higher. Lots of amazing coaches on the list. Some of those early ones we have no idea how they really were in 1886 in the south land intercollegiate academia athletic league as conference champions.
Bill Yeoman did more with less than any of those coaches ranked above him. Had he the advantages of Alabama, ND, UT, etc, he would have been the gold standard of coaches. He not only didn’t have those advantages, he had the distinct disadvantage of having UT and the SWC wage a war against him and UH after we entered the SWC and won the conference title 3 of the first 4 years we were members.
It doesn’t matter what P5 centric ESPN people say, we know where Coach really stands.

Eddie Robinson did more with less than Yeoman.
Plus Robinson had to coach half the sports at Grambling, not just football.
He also had to mow the football fields, prepare the team meals since a lot of places wouldn’t serve him or his players. Plus the polls refused to ever give them a major bowl bid or a desegregated national title.
Man had literally 46 dollars to work with

Innovated an offense that is in the DNA of just about every other option offense, including DKR’s at UT, was on the forefront of integration in the sport, put UH on the national map, a couple of SWC championships. Did way more with way less than many of the programs ahead of him. Way underrated

If you would have read the post I was replying to, you would see where he said Yeoman did more with less than any coach ranked above him. Hence why I cited Robinson.

My bad… I was skimming and didn’t read the more than anyone else on list part. You are correct.
Move him up to the top 75.

Yeah this list is a slap in the face, KC Keeler at Effin Sam Houston ahead of CBY? Someone is smoking the devil’s lettuce at ESPN. Bo Schembechler at 20 is ridiculous as well, never won a National Championship, record in the Rose Bowl is laughable. This is like those greatest guitarist lists that routinely list Kurt Cobain as one of the greatest guitarist ever when anyone with a clue knows that 3 year olds could out play his 2 chords.
