Better Than Most
Which coach is the most under achievingest (wtf is that a word?)? I have four nominees?
B ob Stoops: consistently has talented teams that are inept on their best day at defense and get blown out by garbage programs like Boise State.
Mark Richt - recruiting from the deepest and most fertile talent pool in the country but hasn't won a big game against a quality opponent since Moses was a toddler.
Jimbo Fisher - always brings in a top 10 class of recruits and dilligently develops them into a team good enough to get humiliated by NC State on national television.
Charlie Weiss - he as as "schematic advantage" over every team in the history of all team sports. If we listent to the fattest coach since Planet Mangino we would think that he was a quality coach. If we watch his teams we come to understand that they are nearly as fat, stupid, and slow as he is.
I will accept other nominees.
My vote goes to Richt.

I nominate Steve Spurrier because he dominated the SEC in 90s to the point of changing the league from boring to exciting, he coached South Carolina (!) to an SEC Championship game. And, this is the big one, he won an ACC Championship as the head coach of Duke. Duke for God's sake. Oh sure the ACC was weak at the time but nobody won in recent history before or since.
Disqualified candidates:
Jim Tressel: liars, cheaters, scumbags, and butt wipes are automatically out.
Rich Rod: see above.
Pete Carroll: see above and get real, the man had a cup of coffee in college ball.
Potential Alternatives in No Particular Order:
Bobby Bowden because he's Bobby and Awesome (but not the winner because of Free Shoes and not winning at Duke. Duke! WTF?)
Joe Pa because he hasn't died yet (not the winner because, in my opinion, he never changed the game like Spurrier did in the SEC and he didn't win at Duke. Freaking Duke.)
That one guy that coached at BYU for years but I can't remember his name.
The guy at Mount Union that seems to win every dang game he coaches.
And any living coach that has a winning record at military academy because that's hard work. And they deserve consideration.
Other nominations are welcome. Especially guys from D2 or D3 that I may not be aware of.
