In reply to: Name a NC in the last 50 yrs that didn't have a great coach posted by NJDoubleDomer
to coach at ND after Lou.
Jimbo isn't there (yet).
I would say that LaVell Edwards, Don James, and Dennis Erickson were good, not great. Erickson had great numbers, but I give more of that credit to Jimmy Johnson.
I think Dennis Erickson, especially in his younger years, was a pretty good college coach, even if not elite.
