I am nominating this for featured list because it incorporates all of the comments from the four previously FL promoted SEC coaches' lists (Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas). Hopefully I have caught most of the issues, but there is always something after a fresh set of eyes looks at it. Thanks to all who take the time to look at this as all comments to better the list are greatly appreciated! Patriarca12 (talk) 16:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments quick ones I'm afraid...

Not keen on the empty cells in the key.

The empty cells are included as part of the {{List of College Football Program head coaches key}}. In previous revisions, the key looked like this. I feel the template works better in that it provides for more uniformity across other college football coaches' lists. However is consensus here is to utilize the previous format, I will be more than fine to change it back. Patriarca12 (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Would have thought Bo Rein would deserve a mention in the lead.

Added sentence to the lead. Patriarca12 (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Home Depot Coach of the Year Award" but just "Walter Camp Coach of the Year", why not be consistent with "Award" here?

Fixed Patriarca12 (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Don't mix date formats in the refs.

Corrected Patriarca12 (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Publisher info for "Columbus Dispatch"?

Comments addressed. Thanks for taking the time to take a look at this! Patriarca12 (talk) 23:25, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Other than the blank cells TRM notes above, I found no issues with the list. I'm sure an adequate compromise can be dreamed up, so I won't withhold my support. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:20, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Perhaps this is because I'm English and don't fully understand some of the terminology in US sports, but what do mean when you refer to the LSU Tigers football program? Is that just standard terminology for referring to the team?
- To be fair, I agree with that, the idea of a "football program" in English is more like this. Presumably there's something in Wikipedia we can link to (if you don't already...) The Rambling Man (talk) 18:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I reworded the sentence and removed "program" altogether. Patriarca12 (talk) 22:42, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Some refs from newspapers have locations while others don't. The difference is mainly between national and non-national newspapers but I think for consistency you should include the location of the national ones too. NapHit (talk) 23:01, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support. In my opinion this list fully meets the featured list criteria. My only suggestion is that you might want to use WebCite to archive your references to reduce the risk of them going dead. This is certainly not required for FL status, however. –Grondemar 02:13, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
