I would say the list within the categories is fine and correct, however because these are very dumb names for different categories.

GOAT and Elite really just means long tenures, and some of the categories are terrible as most all coaches are in just the above mid to mid.

It's a fun thing, but doesn't have a good rank of the coaches.

Using these categories TJ is right because of tenure. Give 3-4 years with at least final 4 and 2 elite 8s, and he'll be in Elite.

Fran right as "send to the pasture" is correct but hope he stays forever. Same as Kirk

Considering that TJ is only in his 4th season at ISU and 9th season overall, this isn't horrible. There are some guys on this list either on the same tier or above him that I'd say he's currently better than. Guessing tenure is what is keeping him down a few spots. Not sure how much people agree, but I would say TJ is a top 10 coach right now.

I wouldn't spend too much time worry about a list with a "Rich as ****" category.

Testifying
Chris Beard is NOT elite
Maybe I'm in the minority but I think he's probably better than we think. Tech was an overtime away from a Natty.
Now is he a Billy Gillispie trainwreck? Probably close to it but he can really coach.

It's interesting Lane and him are both at the same school because they are probably a lot alike.
