WTF? That has got to be the absolutely dumbest ranking in the history of rankings...

So let's see, Bill Snyder is ranked #118 and Kugler is #46, so you'd obviously take Kugler over Snyder to coach your college football team, right?

Yeah, you missed the point. It's taking all of the coaches, then ranking them in order of how good they were as players. It has nothing to do with their coaching abilities...other than that they've made it to the level of head coach.
