re: Ranking the top 25 Power Five college football coaches entering the 2021 season

Fitz may be a little high rank but a great coach. Franklin is overrated as frick

Matt Campbell too low. Should be top 5. I’d be okay with him being as high as 3

Why didn't LSU get him if you think he is worth ranking that high?

2021 college football coach rankings: ACC, SEC leaders undergo shifts among Power Five coaches ranked 65-26

35 Kansas
Lance Leipold: Leipold has the second-highest ranking of any newcomer in this year's poll. That seems right, but should he be starting at No. 35? That I'm not quite as convinced, as I have him at No. 50. Still, it's hard to argue that he's an excellent hire for Kansas as the things he accomplished at Wisconsin-Whitewater and then Buffalo are exactly what Kansas needs somebody to do with its program. 2020 rank: n/a

52 Tennessee
Josh Heupel: Unlike the other first-year Power Five coaches we've discussed, Heupel comes to Knoxville with head-coaching experience. He went 28-8 at UCF with a conference title, and that's boosted his stock a bit with our voters. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Heupel's first season at UCF was his best, and the record worsened with each passing season. Heupel is also inheriting a very different situation at Tennessee than the one he found at UCF. 2020 rank: n/a
This is crazy! I believe that just about all schools that hired a new HC should start near the bottom until proven first unless you are Nick Saban or someone similar to him.
Missouri should be higher than Kansas! Missouri at 43 and Kansas at 35? I thought Kansas did hired a HC from Buffalo and he flopped big time! I forgot his name. Drinkwitz did go 11-1 at Appalachian State. Then you give Kansas at 35 and has a long way to go to get very good recruits! Drintwitz is doing a fantastic job and already have Missouri getting 4 4* recruits committed. This is what is wrong with many so call experts thinks they know better than others. You can't win games agaainst top teams if you don't have a similar recruiting class as Texas and Oklahoma. Missouri is now getting those 4* recruits and key transfers to compete against the top teams. It will take a couple more years to get depth and all of the HC's players on the field.

Jumbo Fisher has never even won the SEC west, much less the SEC.

So overrated
