Put one or two picks here.
My top two, and I don't think it's that close, but that is just me are the following:
1.) David Shaw
1.a) James Franklin
What you got?

1. Art Briles--He made RG3 as much as RG3 made him.
2. David Cutcliffe--He has done solid work at every place he's coached.

5 consectutive bowl games at Ole Miss isn't anything to laugh about, IMO.
He was 44-29 there and 25-23 in the SEC, with a 10-win season.

I would say James Franklin. To get 8 wins at Vandy is amazing in a very tough SEC conference.
My other choice would be Kevin Sumlin. I think he did great things at Houston. They were terrible this year without him. And he took Texas AM into the SEC and should finish in the top 10. Pretty impressive.

Dumbest move Ole Miss did back then was firing Cutcliffe when they thought they were some more than what they actually are.

To me its David Shaw. Unless you include him in the top 5 or 6 in CFB, he is underrated. He is that good IMO. I think likely you'll see him get a call from the NFL sooner rather than later. He'll be very successful there also.

In SEC I think Franklin is not only a great recruiter, but really is getting it done on field for Vandy. They seem to be getting better every week. I know I will bet them in Gator or Music City whichever bowl they get

Chip Kelly. Oregon is an anomoly under him. Only team last year of a major 5 conference winner or runner up not to have a first team AP AA or an award winner.

Agreed.

Nick Saban
What we are witnessing is the prime of the GOAT coach. He makes $5 million a year, but he's worth at least $15 million a year.
Feels good to have the top 2 greatest coaches of all time both being at Alabama (1. Nick Saban 2. Bear Bryant)
10 Major Poll National Titles (CFB record) 35 Bowl Wins (CFB record) 61 Wins over last 5 years (CFB record)

I'd put Shaw up there as well but until his recruiting classes supplant those the Harbaugh brought in, you have to take it with a grain of salt. I don't expect much if any drop off, but until his classes take over completely, it's kind of an incomplete grade.
