But you do have to acknowledge that without a title he and Martin cant be viewed as "one of the best". The best win hardware
"One of the best" can be subjective. Polk is 9th all time in wins, took 3 teams to omaha(yes he never won), built our program, built baseball in the sec. He's considered "one of the best" by everyone involved in college baseball(who isn't a State fan). He would be that based on wins alone but when you add all the other things he's done for college baseball, yeah he's one of the best. Gene Chizik wouldn't be considered one of the best just because he won a title would he? It's super hard to win titles in baseball. I know a lot of fans have a bad taste in their mouth because of Polks issues with the university, but if you take off your State glasses there's no question he's a top 15-20 coach of all time. JMO, but it's based on what people involved in college baseball, scouts, mlb players and coaches think of Coach Polk
