Who is in this elite fraternity of coaches?
AUBURN coach Gene Chizik won one in his fourth year. Who else has accomplished this uncanny feat?

Only two I can think of are Larry Coker and Little Game Bobby Stoops.
Coker walked into a brilliant situation but he did manage the talent pretty well. Some coaches with stacked rosters completely dookie the bed.
Little Game was gifted a title as Free Shoes had no business being in that one.
Shoulda been The University or Washington.

That's why he is in the HOF.

not exactly a great list of coaches there tiger...Ill give you stoops but Coker was a flame out and Carr never came close again...If anything winning one that quickly usually indicates a coach will never do it again...None of them were able to do it again

It's in first 5 years as a head coach. Not first 5 years as a head coach at your particular school FYI.
