Greatest coaches of the last 25 years

[Rowdy831]

Who won the most games with inferiour talent? All the coaches on this list won because they had the best players so evalutating a coach is pretty complex. I also think comparing coaches across different sports is impossible. The college coaches on the list may or may not be the best coaches but they certainly are or were the best at recruiting top level talent that fit their program perfectly. In the pros a lot of coaches on the list won because they had the roster and Popovich is at the top of that list.

Dick led Stanford to 17 NCAA titles between 1973 and 2000, and Lele brought home 10 titles over 24 seasons, and never longer than 3 years apart, which means every player who was on her roster for all four years of college won a championship. Truly, who can match that in any sport or league, college or pro?

Farood seems a worthy addition. Gould doesn't qualify for this thread, as it only covers the last 25 years. Greatest coaches of all time is a much bigger discussion and would include many more names.

There was a guy named John Wooden who used to coach UCLA. He wasn't too bad. Won a few National Championships and sent more than a couple of players to the pros.

Yeah. He's definitely been crushing it the last 25 years. surprised he didn't make the list.

That's because too many people believe that sports didn't exist before ESPN.
