Chris Ault and Mike Riley. Long-time coaches, but they were never at title contending programs. You cannot tell me they understand better than Saban, Mack Brown or some other retired or soon to be retired coaches the rigors vying for a national title, or a title in the SEC and other big conferences.
Ault coached at Nevada for 28 years. His last year was in 2012. His last job coaching football was in 2017, coaching the Milano Rhinos in the Italian Football League. Unfortunately, the Milano Rhinos lost to the Milano Seamen in his last game. His best bowl win was the Fight Hunger Bowl in 2009.
Yes, Riley coached at Nebraska for three seasons after a long time at Oregaon State. But Nebraska was mediocre at best with no title aspirations. Riley has not coached since he was a .500 coach at Nebraska from 2015-2017. His best bowl win in his career is the Foster Farms Bowl in 2016.
Gary Pinkel is on there. He is a good choice. His teams finished in the top 5 a couple of times, and he was successful in the SEC.
I would also put more top coaches on and take off the A.D.'s from second and third-tier football schools. Does anyone think David Sayler and Carla WIlliams know more about judging top college teams than Saban and Mack Brown?
I would like the CFP committee to become a who's who of top retired coaches. Not coaches that have nothing else to do, and not A.D.'s at second and third tier football schools.
