The question was, Who would you want to coach your son if it wasn’t you?

The ESPN website asked a group of college football coaches to anonymously answer that query — and more — and the answers were enlightening.

A couple of coaches were mentioned more than once — Clemson’s Dabo Swinney and Stanford’s David Shaw.

Interestingly, though, here’s what another unnamed coach said:

“Having so many people in this profession that I respect, I couldn’t narrow it down to just one. But there’s a reason guys like Gary Patterson at TCU and Kirk Ferentz at Iowa have done it as long as they have at the same place, and then when you look at how well they develop football players and how their players just continue to get better every year, those two guys would be hard to beat.”
