Who is the best coach in UL football history?

Stokley, we were playing against some of the top teams in the country every year.

Bill Belichick's dad.

Steve Belichick

Didn't Robinson at one point have the highest winning percentage? (Albeit one year)

Hush your mouth. Mentioning Sam in any post containing the word "best" is blasphemy.

Lewis Cook

I do remember Coach Cook. He was a RB/Kickers coach at USL when I knew him. He always seemed like a nice guy and it seemed like his players loved him. It wasn't always that way for the players with their position coaches. (Although Lee Rodgers and Thielen Smith may have been the most beloved of position coaches at the time.) It is heartwarming to see him have some success. I remember him fondly.

Stokley needed a stud QB to win, to his credit he fit his system to the QB he had.

Hud needs a stud QB to win, so far he hasn't always shown he can fit his system to the QB he has on hand.

All non-major programs need a stud QB to win.

Very few major programs can win without one as well.

But, you're correct about Stokley's ability to mold his offense to fit the talent. He was a very talented Head Coach.

X's and O's...Stokley by a mile. Energizing the fan base...Hud by a mile. Put those two guys together...you have a coaching vacancy because he would be gone in a New York minute.

Baldwin?

No question at this point, it's Stokley, his first few years. He was an outstanding coach that got the absolute most out of the talent on his team.

Stokley, and second place is not even close. And Stokley got less institutional support than any UL coach that might be considered 'best'.
