I am nominating this for featured list because it incorporates all of the comments from the five previously FL promoted SEC coaches' lists (Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas and LSU). Hopefully this will get through with minimal issues, but as always am grateful for any comments to make this list even better. Thanks to all who take the time to look at this!

Comments
  • Lead image caption is a complete sentence so should have a period.
  • Done
  • Personal klaxon - I can't stand the word "winningest", awful awful awful. If you changed it to "the most wins" or something, it'd make my day.
  • Day made, done!
  • "of those who have coached more than one game" this is probably boilerplate but it's unnecessary here because all the coaches have coached more than one game.
  • Done
  • Similar comment applies to the following sentence.
  • Done
  • Key says GC for games coached, table has just G.
  • Not sure how I managed that one, but fixed now.
  • Check also OW, OT, OL, O% and C%.
  • Done
  • Why is DC DCs (etc) when e.g. OW isn't OWs?
  • No good reason for that, fixed.
  • Second gen ref has (PDF) as the first item, vs Ref 10 where (PDF) is after the title.
  • Done

  • Support I believe this list meets WP:FLCR. I made a minor copyedit in the second paragraph. I do have one minor concern: "In that time, five coaches have led the Commodores in postseason bowl games" shouldn't that be to bowl games? –Grondemar 00:39, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment
  • "McGugin is the leader in seasons coached and games won, with 198 victories during his 30 years with the program" this came up on another of these lists recently, is program used to refer to the team in american sports? As a British sports fans I find the usage a bit odd, wouldn't it be simpler to say team? It would a save a bit of confusion for this unfamiliar with american sports terminology. Otherwise the list in fine shape NapHit (talk) 20:48, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    This has come up before, I just missed it in this sentence. It is now fixed, and thanks for catching it! Patriarca12 (talk) 21:51, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
