College Football is all about QBs. Get a good one? The Head Coach is a Golden Hero. Can't find the right one? The Head Coach is a Village Idiot. Think about it:
Head Coaches with a National Championship:
Mack Brown- Vince Young and Colt McCoy
Dabo Swinney- DeShaun Watson
Jimbo Fisher- Jameis Winston
Urban Meyer- Chris Leak, Tim Tebow,Cardale Jones (in the odd year that OSU had 3 QBs)
Gus Malzahn- Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham
Les Miles- Jamarcus Russel
Head Coaches that did not win an NC (but had a pretty good run)
Kevin Sumlin- Johnny Manziel (for one shining moment)
Gary Patterson- Andy Dalton, Kenny Hill
Art Briles - several QBs
Mike Leach- Several QBs
Chip Kelly- several Qbs
The only Exception? Nick Saban who seems like he could win with an ordinary member of this board at QB.
Maybe it is better to judge a coach on how well he does when the Franchise QB is NOT on campus..
