In alphabetical order, that would be Bianco, Cohen, Freeze, Kennedy, Mullen and Stansbury. If you want to put Freeze sixth due to his lack of experience in the SEC (as I do), then do so. If you put him higher we will guess it's based on expectations.

Here's my list.

Bianco
Stansbury
Mullen
Kennedy
Cohen
Freeze

with them being in different sports. Freeze hasn't coached a game yet either so he doesn't deserve to be on the list but here you go. 1. Stansbury (he has coached for 14 years and is in the top 10 SEC all-time most wins) 2. Mullen (he takes 2nd for performing a miracle on the MSU football program, we were the laughing stock of college football with Croom) 3. Bianco (he'd be higher if he'd make it to Omaha but he's chocked atleast twice in the Supers) 4. Cohen (he's made one Super) 5. Kennedy (zero NCAA appearances) 6. Freeze (why would he be on this list? His record is 0-0)

Honest question: What has Kennedy ever accomplished to justify him being ranked above Cohen? Cohen has an SEC title, a Super Regional appearance and several other NCAA appearances. Has Kennedy ever made the NCAAs?

Bianco, Mullen, Stansbury, Cohen,Freeze, Kennedy....Cohen is poised to move to the front of the class but does not deserve to be higher based on nearly making the CWS last season. Bianco edges Mullen based on his overall accomplishments with the UM program plus his outstanding recruiting classes. Stans ranks third because of his overall accomplishments while at the same time he cannot be ranked higher because he hasn't advanced into the Sweet 16. Kennedy, at one time, seemed to be really bringing the UM program to a level of respect. In his defense he has the absolute worse facilities and will be getting a new place soon. The question might be whether or not UM will do as Auburn and release him to get a fresh start when the new place is ready. My guess is they keep him. The SEC jury is out on Freeze.

Stansbury - winningest coach at MSU an high-high in NCAA
Mullen - except he is on his way to (insert school here)
Bianco - Longer record than cohen
Cohen - I expect big things from him that he may never deliver
Kennedy - Lost to Auburn? Why?
Freeze - needs a better break than last place but 0-0

although I could see an argument for Cohen ahead of Mullen considering Cohen basically started over whereas Mullen did have a few good players to work with on day one. Hell, Cohen had to overcome the parents of his players getting overly involved too.

Cohen and Kennedy need to be flipped. Actually I'd say:

1. Bianco - those putting him down the list don't realize that OM baseball was just a blip on the map until he arrived. Even not making Omaha, he's turned OM into a top flight baseball program and that's pretty impressive.
2. Stans - despite his lack of post season success he still puts winning products on the court
3. Mullen - jury is still out, but headed in the right direction
4. Cohen - jury is still out, but headed in the right direction it seems
5. Freeze - no data on which to comment
6. Kennedy - he's a horrible coach

Pretty sure Cohen has a winning record against Bianco at State. Would love to hear overall.

Kennedy is a major disappointment. Only reason he has not been fired is because he's the head coach at Ole Miss. Any other school and he would probably be fired already. He's had tons of talent, but he just can't do anything with it-sound familiar? At lease Stans has gotten us to NCAAs and has put together good teams. <div>
</div><div>Here's mine:</div><div>
</div><div>Mullen-Has had a similar start to Jackie to his career</div><div>Bianco-can't quite get over the hump-Super Regionals that is</div><div>Cohen-got us to a Super Regional with average SEC talent</div><div>Stansbury-currently number 9 and close to number 6 in SEC career wins</div><div>Kennedy-lucky to have a job</div><div>Freeze-nothing to go by</div>

1. Mullen - Key in reversing the battered psychology of MSU football fans
2. Cohen - Came in under heat with a down program, is working his magic once again
3. Bianco - Making ole miss baseball relevant
4. Stansbury - Failure to produce in postseason, but still one of the best records ever as a MSU coach in any sport

big gap

5. Freeze - Preacher 2.0. Unproven
6. Kennedy - Needs to go

If you take into account Cohen's time at Kentucky, then he has to be tops here. Winning SEC baseball championships at that school is nothing short of incredible.

1. Cohen
2. Bianco - turning around Ole Miss baseball is almost as impressive as doing so at Kentucky
3. Stansbury - overall record, top-10 in SEC wins
4. Mullen - has done a great job rejuvenating our program, but doesn't have a big enough win to move him up this list. If this list is just about coaching, this is where he belongs
5. Freeze - no record is better than Kennedy's embarrassing tenure
6. Kennedy - seriously, how does he still have a job - that and the fact that the Tad Pad still stands shows how little they care about basketball in Oxford

That there ain't no way in hell Kennedy should be before Cohen. My list:<div>
</div><div>1 - Bianco</div><div>2 - Stansbury</div><div>3 - Mullen</div><div>4 - Cohen (only reason Mullen is ahead is because they've both finished Top 16 once and Mullen has one more winning season)</div><div>5 - Kennedy</div><div>6 - Freeze</div><div>
</div><div>Hard to really rank Freeze here. If we were ranking Nutt instead, I'd put him before Kennedy. I almost put Freeze ahead of Kennedy just because of his work at ASU in one season.</div><div>
</div><div>And Bianco has the ability to tumble if he keeps getting his lunch eaten by Cohen like last season.</div><div>

But after some reflection, I probably would switch the two if given the opportunity.

But I will make this point.The intention was to rank theperformance of all the coachesat their current jobs.Cohen's title came at Kentucky. But I concede, that Cohen should be ahead of Kennedy.</p>
