I am nominating this for featured list because it incorporates all of the comments from the three previously FL promoted SEC coaches' lists (Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee). 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. Cheers! Patriarca12 (talk) 23:34, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Key looks a little odd on my screen, fills the width when it certainly doesn't need to and has blank cells.
The key is actually the Template:List of College Football Program head coaches key that I have incorporated into this list. Previously, the key looked like the one here. I personally like how the template looks better and it was utilized in my previous, successfully promoted coaches' list for Auburn. However, I will comply with any sort of consensus reached on its usage.
  • Don't think that's the John Tomlin in the lead that you're after...
DEFINITELY not the correct Tomlin! Fixed now.
  • Ref 22 has different date format.
Corrected

Comment

  • George McLaren is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. He went in as a player not a coach. Maybe change the Key to read "Elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach" 09er (talk) 04:33, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks for taking a look at this! Patriarca12 (talk) 09:38, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Patriarca12, the prevailing standard is to note HOF induction as either a player or a coach (e.g. List of Michigan Wolverines head football coaches). So, I reverted your change to the table key and added the HOF notation for McLaren. You may want to add a note to qualify McLaren's induction as a player, as a I have done for Jim Crowley here: List of college football coaches with a .750 winning percentage.

Comments Support –

  • Typo in Key: "Overall loses".

  • Ref 22 doesn't say Arkansas lost the bowl game in question, and the list doesn't have anything mentioning it. I'd say it could use another reference. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:21, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Added an additional reference regarding the actual loss. Thanks for taking a look at this! Patriarca12 (talk) 02:40, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Harrias talk
  • The table is too wide for my screen, forcing me to scroll sideways to view the whole table, which is less than ideal. Could you remove the no wrap element in the awards section to remedy this? I appreciate it would make that slightly more difficult to follow, but on the other hand, it would make the whole table easier to see! (The Lists you mention in your nomination all have this problem too. I wouldn't oppose on these grounds, but I think it would be a better list if the width fit on a 1280 screen.
Done.
  • "..since it began play during the 1894 season. Since.." – A bit repititious on "since", could you replace one of them with another word? In fact, the last sentence of the first paragraph would probably be better phrased differently anyway. Harrias talk 16:55, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done.
Comments addressed. Thanks for taking a look at this! Patriarca12 (talk) 00:27, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Would be more consistent if the note about the DCs in the table header be moved to the key. Reorion (talk) 01:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support I can't see any issues. NapHit (talk) 23:00, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
