The list is not really all that meaningful.
ESPN’s 11 Greatest Players Of All-Time List Getting Criticized
https://thespun.com/college-football/espn-greatest-college-football-players-list-getting-criticized
At halftime of tonight’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game, ESPN honored its top 11 greatest college football players of all-time as part of the 150th anniversary of the sport.
The list was loaded with guys who were extremely skilled and accomplished college players: that much isn’t up for debate. What is being questioned is the composition of the list.
Nine of the 11 players are running backs–only Dick Butkus (linebacker) and Roger Staubach (quarterback) played a different position. Also, the most recent player on the list is Barry Sanders, who finished his college career in 1988.
Again, all of these men were legendary college football players. However, the fact his list is not more modernized and diversified position-wise is drawing criticism.
“Love to honor the top 9 halfbacks ever and Dick Butkus” LOL

One QB, the rest all RB’s. No defense or lineman, LB’s or how about Jerry Rice? It’s tough.
Miss old Beano...

At least at ND, Heistand was an exceptional enough teacher of individual technique to where these flaws were masked and not very often seen. Quinn is not but he shouldn't get the amount of blame he does IMO. It's one thing to not have talent which I think we have enough to stay in games like these but it's an entirely different case when your scheme/offensive coaching and gameplanning is constantly exposed through an entire decade.
