I'm an admittedly biased Alabama fan, but placing Dabo Swinney above Nick Saban is ridiculous.

This guy ranked all the ACC and SEC coaches, and the whole thing is clickbait garbage. Dan Mullen at #3 over Kirby Smart and Jimbo Fisher. Ed Orgeron at #16. Derek Mason over former National Champion Mack Brown.
Edit - But it's getting clicks, so I guess it's working.

Never forget 2014 Georgia beat Missouri 34-0 and STILL lost the division to them
Mack Brown should have had more than one Natty to his name, I say that as a Texas fan. He is a good coach, but Derek Mason is out here putting together respectable SEC seasons at a school full of future doctors and lawyers. I'd buy that argument.
Jimbo is a fine coach, but he also lacks the ability to institute any sort of control over his players, just lets them run wild. Mullen did good things at Miss St and in one season had Florida performing close to the levels they experienced under Spurrier, so I can see him being ranked highly as well. It isn't all about wins and losses, you gotta take the program into account as well. I'd argue a coach that goes 7-5 at a mid level P5 program is just as good as one who goes 10-3 at a major P5 program.
In 5 years as head coach, Derek Mason hasn't won a bowl game and hasn't had a winning record. I can't put him over someone who's won a National Championship.
Don't forget Mason inherited a program that had back-to-back 9 win seasons under James Franklin and went 3-9 in his first season. It took him 3 years and 31 games to win as many games as Franklin did in his 2nd season. Of course Franklin is a great coach, and it's not easy to have success at Vanderbilt, but Mason could be doing much better.
