This isn't in reference to an opening here, but just the more impressive candidates out there for the openings about to happen across CFB.
My rankings aren't for any particular team, just my overall opinions of them. Each may be better than another coach for a particular team.
1. Jeff Traylor UTSA HC - 31-8 the last 3 seasons. Runs one of the more impressive looking offenses in the nation the last 2 seasons.
2. Jon Sumrall Troy HC - 21-4 in 2 seasons. Good balanced teams.
3. Tommy Rees Alabama OC - Alabama offensive turnaround has been very impressive throughout the season.
4. Lance Leipold Kansas HC - Potential to go 8-4 in year 3 with a program that hadn't won more than 3 games the prior decade before his arrival. Likely a 10-win team if not for being on a 3rd string QB.
5. Jamey Chadwell Liberty HC - 42-6 last 4 seasons, including 11-0 in his very first season at Liberty this year. Brought Coastal Carolina up.
6. Jerry Kill NMSU HC - Turned one of the worst teams in all of CFB a couple years ago into a 9+ win team that destroyed Auburn.
7. Ryan Grubb Washington OC
8. Kirby Moore Missouri OC - Has that offense firing with a QB Mizzou fans were demanding to be benched not long ago and a D3 Running back transfer. Even after losing their leading receiver to UGA. Had a heck of an offense going at Fresno State, too. Recruited in a 4* WR to Fresno, so his recruiting abilities would likely be good.
9. Jedd Fisch Arizona HC - Likely going 9-3 in his 3rd season with a freshman QB. Decent recruiter. Had a top 25 class year 1.
10. Eli Drinkowitz Misosuri HC - Basically doing what we have been dreaming of, with a fairly similar program in only 4 years. One knock would be his recruiting abilities are meh. Wouldn't advocate for him as my HC, just because I don't like looking at him.
Notables:
Jonathan Smith - Oregon St HC
Chris Klieman - Kansas St HC
Chip Lindsey - UNC OC, former UCF OC
What's your list?
