The 10 Best (And Also Worst) Coach Dabs Of All Time
The 10 Best (And Also Worst) Coach Dabs Of All Time
In memory of one of the most ridiculous dance-related fads to ever hit planet Earth, we present the 10 greatest college football coach dabs.
If the dab wasn't already dead, Wade Phillips killed it last year, following the Los Angeles Rams' 35-30 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Phillips, whose defense shut down the 'Boys in the second half, could have opted for another played-out dab. Instead, he elected to "Juju on That Beat"—sort of.
Break it down, @sonofbum ?

Wade's the man.
Think Wade Phillips is scared of Tom Brady?!? pic.twitter.com/06OevpCSFR

In memory of one of the most ridiculous dance-related fads to ever hit planet Earth, we present the 10 greatest coach dabs of all time. Enjoy.
10. Ron Caragher
San Jose State punctuated its 2015 season with a Cure Bowl victory over Georgia State, and the locker room of bowl game victors is where awkward dabs are born. Ron Caragher needed a quick tutorial, but he took it from there, delivering… well, delivering exactly what you'd expect from a 50-year-old football coach.
Confidence: 1/10
Form: 4/10
Execution: 3/10
9. Dan Mullen
It's never not hilarious watching the sudden rush of self-assuredness that inevitably hits an ole ball coach after he hits his first dab and sees his locker room erupt. It almost always led to a series of more enthusiastic—if ill-advised—forearm headbutts. There is perhaps no greater illustration of this phenomenon than Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen's behavior following a 51-50 shootout win at Arkansas in 2015.
Confidence: 3/10
Form: 5/10
Execution: 4/10
8. Gus Malzahn
Birmingham Bowl victories aren't exactly what Auburn considers dab-worthy success, but credit to Gus for the surprise dab attack. The 2015 season was a grind for the Tigers, so the 31-10 victory over Paxton Lynch and Memphis warranted the celebration.
Confidence: 6/10
Form: 2/10
Execution: 4/10
7. Andy Reid
Andy Reid hit the dab after an overtime victory over division rival Denver in December 2015 that moved the Chiefs to 8-3 on the season and provided Reid's team with sole possession of first place.
Confidence: 7/10
Form: 6/10
Execution: 5/10
6. Ron Rivera
After Carolina destroyed Washington to improve to 10-0—during a 2015 season in which the Panthers would make the franchise's second Super Bowl run—Ron Rivera did his best Cam Newton impression. The form was there even if the conviction was not.
Confidence: 4/10
Form: 9/10
Execution: 5/10
5. Frank Beamer
In December 2015, Virginia Tech claimed bowl eligibility with its sixth win of the season in what would be Frank Beamer's last year as head coach of the Hokies. So, naturally, the legendary coach threw himself one hell of a retirement party in the locker room afterward.
Confidence: 10/10
Form: 2/10
Execution: 7/10
4. Urban Meyer
One of the most underrated coach dabs of all time. After a mid-November loss to Michigan State knocked the Buckeyes out of playoff contention in 2015, Meyer's boys hammered rival Michigan 42-13 to lock up a New Year's Day bowl bid. Afterwards, Meyer hit a dab so clean that he must've been practicing in the mirror.
Confidence: 6/10
Form: 9/10
Execution: 6/10
3. Les Miles
LSU snapped a three-game losing streak with a 19-7 victory over Texas A&M to close out the 2015 regular season—and winning for a change had Les Miles feeling real froggy.
Confidence: 9/10
Form: 5/10
Execution: 7/10
2. Jim Harbaugh
There's a lot going on here. We've got "Doug Funny" Harbaugh in the only clothes he owns crushing a dinger off a tee at softball practice—and then emphatically hitting the dab as hard as he just hit the ball. What points he loses for doing this outside of his own locker room, he gets back for that sweet swing.
Confidence: 9/10
Form: 7/10
Execution: 7/10
1. Dabo Swinney
In November 2015, Deshaun Watson and Co., announced the Clemson Tigers were for real with a 23-13 victory over Florida State. Post-game, Dabo the dab GOAT was in the mood for a dance party—and, seriously, he crushed it, did he not?
Confidence: 10/10
Form: 8/10
Execution: 9/10
