Here’s your Friday morning hot take from always controversial television personality (and reporter) Skip Bayless.
Bayless, who is now with Fox Sports and has a new show called “Undisputed,” took today’s segment as an opportunity to provide his thoughts on who the best coach in college football is right now. While most would probably agree the title should go to five-time national champion Nick Saban, Bayless believes it’s Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.
It’s definitely worth debating as the numbers are pretty similar. Saban has won 195 games in his career — averaging 12.3 wins since 2008 — claiming a national title about every four years with his Power 5 teams (Michigan State, LSU, and Alabama).
Urban Meyer currently boasts 157 career victories, including a 53-4 record since taking over the Buckeyes’ program in 2012. He has three national championships in 11 years as coach of a P5 program.
Saban, 64, is six years ahead of Meyer, 52, in terms of tenure/longevity. So what do you think, who is the better coach?
