College Football’s 2nd ever Early Signing Period will take place starting on December 19th, and continue until December 21st. The Early Signing Period has become the newest, most important recruiting “event” in the annual recruiting calendar.
Now that so many recruits will sign and be bound to National Letter of Intent a full 2 months before February’s signing day, the recruiting timeline has moved up significantly. If the last 2 years are any indication, there’s all kinds of jockeying to fill the final spots in everyone’s classes, and the sped up timeline combined with the fact that there will soon be much fewer recruits available has made the recruiting process all the more competitive.
The ESP presents a unique opportunity for coaches to lock up all of their commits a full 2 months ahead of February. This is especially a good thing for smaller schools who will not have to worry about their recruits being poached by bigger programs in the next 2 months.
Last year 80% of committed prospects signed early, 76% of blue chips signed early, while 65% of the overall class was off the board in just a few days. This season that number is expected to increase to anywhere from 75-90%.
Just briefly looking:
1. Bama's class is ridiculous again, especially on defense.
2. Likewise, UGA is recruiting at a high level.
3. aTm and Fisher doing work
4. LSU
5. Clemson

On Rivals, they have the order like this:
1) Bama 2) A&M 3) Georgia 4) Clemson 5) Texas
Of course, this is all subject to change depending on how the final signings play out. We're in the running for one of the top RB's and a really good WR.

This is partly why Saban and so many other big name college HCs hit a bit of a wall with their NFL experiences.
A) You simply cannot ' recruit' wins and championships at that level B) You simply cannot custom schedule wins at that level C) You simply cannot play 70% of your games at home at that level
The legendary head coaches of the NFL are truly the finest pure coaches of the sport of American Football based on this reality.

Saban is a great coach... despite your efforts to denigrate him. I think you missed the point. Of course he's great. Just pointing out the huge difference in degree of difficulty of achieving greatness between those two levels pf football.
Most of the casual CF fans and media that throw around this impulsive' Saban =GOAT' stuff have no clue that he is not even in the the top 50 of career winning % and only 16th among 'major' level HCs.
Its just typical of American pop culture...everything is the latest greatest and history is generally forgotten

Hen... NO ONE could ever miss your point. It's the same one, over and over again...
Anti-SEC Anti-Bama Anti-Saban

How are facts anti--Saban ? I'm more anti- CF myths, Bevo, which makes myth and perception driven fans uncomfortable.
So anti-SEC mythology, Saban mythology, Bama mythology etc or any CF related mythology ( like the championship history, for example) would be fair.
I'm pro fact .

Nice try Hen, but I ain’t buyin. You’re simply Anti-Anything SEC related... especially if it’s against Bama or Saban.

Ah c'mon Bevo please try to "buy it"
Ok, I'll admit the 55th most difficult HC to beat in CF history (.790) is the G O A T

I will tell you now... coaches who've never reached the ranks of the FBS will NOT be considered in my study. I wouldn't care if they'd won 99% of their games. Just as the NFL is tougher than the NCAA... FBS is tougher than FCS... on MANY levels.

Ok , but in that defining qualification of yours the 5 greatest all time head coaches of American Football would all have to be NFL head coaches, right ?....which is the point I made in a previous post.
So you will be submitting your top 5 HCs of all time for approximately 25% of college football...not what I asked for but should still be interesting .

You asked for the Top 5 NCAA coaches. That would exclude NFL.
