[QUOTE="Glory Days, post: 1318084, member: 34874"] In reality, comparing people of this list is so difficult because each of these coaches has made it to rarified air in their profession. How do you separate top surgeons? What makes the difference in regards to these coaches are their relative success is: support from administration, luck in recruiting, luck in hiring difference makers on the coaching staff, luck in dealing with injuries, luck keeping kids out of jail..... However, when you look at a guy like Izzo and the sustained success he has had, it's obvious that he has been more than lucky. At the bottom of the list you look at guys who were "Peter Principled," in other words, they got promoted to a level of incompetence.....the guys who were out over their skis.....like John Groce.
