Actually pretty reasonable take imo. I'd move Ferentz to 3rd, Cig to 4th, Bielema to 5th, and Franklin to 6th. I'd keep the other 14 right where he has them in the article.

 

[76-1]

I'd go with this:

1) Lanning
2) Cignetti
3) Bielema

Day is an enigma because he's so difficult to evaluate given the head and shoulders better depth of pure talent he's given to work with along with his overwhelming resources (as in $$$$$$$$$$$$$).....

The USC, P$U, MI, and NE coaches are all overrated in my opinion...

The p u coach gets the very last slot simply because he was foolish enough to go there... The MD Coach is next to last and the rest you can write their names on note cards and toss them in the air listing the order they land in to get the middle rankings...

I agree with 76-1 with the upper level of coaches with putting Day in place of Bielema due to his flop in the SEC.

I don’t like Day, but he won a national title and basically only loses to elite teams/UM. Other schools like Texas spend huge and don’t get it done. I’d have Day in place of Bert and somewhere in the top-3.

1 Lanning
2 Day
3 Cig
4 Bret B
5 Kirk F
6 Franklin

Interesting take on Odom. lol I’d have put him above Locks as well as Braun.

I’d probably go

Day
Lanning
Brett B
Franklin
Cig

Solid top 5

I'd move Rhule, Riley, and Franklin down fleck and schiano up.

Franklin is not top five and had IU had the chance to play PS that would have been demonstrated (again)

'Previous Rank' , Sherrone Moore 10th, Cignetti 17th? Guess it's not based on actual, you know, head coaching. Those rankings seemed somewhat tied to the historic strength of the programs.

I'd have Northwestern's Braun above Locksley and Smith. A few others I'd move around.

I think James Franklin is good, although there's a bunch of coaches in the middle of that list that could be higher than him. I saw him turn around Vanderbilt before he poached them on the way out. Team wasn't poorly coached under Bobby Johnson but the recruiting ramped up and the offense got better.

I'd bump Ferentz down only because maybe he hasn't adapted to the era as well, but still chugging along, he can coach.

Not sure why they love Rhule so much.

Good coach with a big NIL.

I don’t disagree on Franklin. But it’s hard to argue with 34-8 over the past 3 years. His biggest downfall is he can’t win a big game.

How many coaches ranked above Cig could do what Cig has done at IU? The answer is 0.
