Coaches are often accused of being dictators. We decided that some of them might actually be real-life dictators. For more compelling evidence, please click on the more button to see some of our disturbing picks.

And...

Sapurmurat Niyazov, a.k.a. Turkmenbashi, the irrational, moody ruler of a resource-poor state in the middle of nowhere, Turkmenistan:

2. Carl Torbush, mustachioed former UNC head coach and Aggie DC:

mustachioed Belarussian tyrant Aleksandr Lukashenko:

And Islam Karimov, the despot of dusty Uzbekistan:

4. Our finale, and one that requires some imagination: Phil Fulmer, overlord of Knox County:

And...

I don’t know. I always thought Phil would be a dead ringer for Kamala, the Ugandan Headhunter.

NOT: Look-alikes
The college football blog Everyday Should Be Saturday released a Separated at Birth: Coaches and Dictators list. Among those linked were Nebraska coach Bill Callahan with Turkmenbashi dictator Sapurmurat Niyazov, and former UNC coach Carl Torbush with Belarussian tyrant Aleksandr Lukashenko.
