CBS Coaches Rankings 2017 Top 65, LINK!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Here is a listing of this year Top 25 Coaches Ratings for 2017 versus last year. Pitt's Pat Narduzzi did not make the listings, but once again going up against 5 Top Coaches in PSU, OKST, DUKE, MIAMI, & GT, Penn State Franklin is facing 5 OSU, UM, MSU, NWU, &IOWA, and WVU Holgrosen is going against 4, OU, KSU, TCU, & OKST! Pitt Pat Narduzzi dropped from 40 to 43, WVU's Hogrosen moved up from 42 to 36, and Franklin went from 41 to 18

1. ACC: TOP 25 SEVEN:
3 Clemson Tigers
Dabo Swinney (8)
4 Seminoles
Jimbo Fisher (6)
13 Cardinals
Bobby Petrino (25)
15 Hurricanes
Mark Richt (18)
17 Blue Devils
David Cutcliffe (15)
22 Fighting Irish
Brian Kelly (12)
24 Yellow Jackets 24
Paul Johnson (37)
TOP 26-65
26 Tar Heels
Larry Fedora (35)
32 Cavaliers
Bronco Mendenhall (26
34 Hokies
Justin Fuente (38)
43 Panthers
Pat Narduzzi (40): I'm not sure why Narduzzi drops three spots in the rankings. I'm guessing it has more to do with having two new people voting this year than it does his performance on the field. Maybe it's because Narduzzi is a defensive whiz, but his Pitt defenses have yet to reflect that
46 Demon Deacons
Dave Clawson (59)
50 Eagles
Steve Addazio (54)
51 Orange
Dino Babers (45)
59 Wolfpack
Dave Doeren (50)

2. BIG TEN: TOP 25 Six:
2 Buckeyes
Urban Meyer (2)
5 Wolverines
Jim Harbaugh (10)
11 Spartans
Mark Dantonio (5)
16 Wildcats
Pat Fitzgerald (34)
18 Nittany Lions
James Franklin (41): If not for Mike MacIntyre's meteoric rise in this year's rankings, Franklin would have made the largest leap. And it's not difficult to see why. After a couple of very mediocre seasons at Penn State, the Nittany Lions went 11-3 under Franklin last year, went to the Rose Bowl, and had a legitimate case for a playoff berth.)
20 Hawkeyes
Kirk Ferentz (19)
TOP 26-65
29 Badgers
Paul Chryst (39): I think most of us went into 2016 believing Wisconsin was going to take a step back after going 10-3 in 2015. Instead, the Badgers actually improved to 11 wins and won the Big Ten West. Chryst might not be the most exciting coach in the world, but it's hard to argue with the results he has had in Madison so far.
35 Golden Gophers
P.J. Fleck (NR)
47 Boilermakers
Jeff Brohm (NR)
55 Terrapins
D.J. Durkin (60)
58 Fighting Illini
Lovie Smith (49)
63 Hoosiers
Tom Allen (NR)

3. SEC: TOP 25 FOUR:
1 Crimson Tide
Nick Saban (1)
19 Tigers
Gus Malzahn (13)
21 Bulldogs
Dan Mullen (31)
23 Gators
Jim McElwain (27)
TOP 26-65
27 Razorbacks
Bret Bielema (22):
33 Rebels
Hugh Freeze (21)
37 Gamecocks
Will Muschamp (44)
40 Aggies
Kevin Sumlin (32)
48 Tigers
Ed Orgeron (NR): I don't think there are any of us who don't love Orgeron's personality, but we're all taking a cautious approach to what he'll do at LSU now that he's actually starting a season as head coach.
52 Volunteers
Butch Jones (33
53 Commodores
Derek Mason (57
54 Bulldogs
Kirby Smart (46
56 Wildcats
Mark Stoops (56)
62 Tigers
Barry Odom (62)

3. BIG-12: TOP 25 FOUR:
6 Sooners
Bob Stoops (4)
9 Wildcats
Bill Snyder (17)
10 Horned Frogs
Gary Patterson (3)
12 Cowboys
Mike Gundy (20)
TOP 26-65
28 Longhorns
Tom Herman (NR)
36 Mountaineers
Dana Holgorsen (42): I honestly thought Holgo would climb further after a 10-win season with the Mountaineers in 2016. West Virginia has now improved in each of the past three seasons, yet Dana is still ranked behind a few coaches with thinner résumés.
39 Bears
Matt Rhule (NR): Rhule makes a nice debut in our rankings as he comes to Baylor from Temple, where he had quite a bit of success. I think he can be successful at Baylor as well, but he's going to need the time to do it
57 Red Raiders
Kliff Kingsbury (47)
50 Jayhawks
David Beaty (65)
61 Cyclones
Matt Campbell (55)
65 Scarlet Knights
Chris Ash (Last season: 64)

PAC-12: Top 25 Four:
7 Huskies
Chris Petersen (14)
8 Cardinal
David Shaw (9)
14 Utes
Kyle Whittingham (23
25 Cougars
Mike Leach (Last season -- 30)
TOP 26-65
30 Buffaloes
Mike MacIntyre (58
31 Ducks
Willie Taggart (NR
41 Beavers
Gary Andersen (52)
42 Sun Devils
Todd Graham (36): I honestly expected Graham's stock to take a bigger hit than this considering he's 11-14 the past two seasons with a 6-12 mark in Pac-12 play. Also, he ditched the Britney Spears headset during games, and he should be penalized for that.
44 Wildcats
Rich Rodriguez (24): RichRod was in our top 25 last season, and he drops all the way down to No. 44. It's a steep drop, but his Wildcats have taken a step back in each of the past two seasons, so it's certainly a justifiable one
45 Trojans
Clay Helton (51): I don't know if Helton is a great coach at this point. I don't think anybody does. What I do know is that he has a quarterback that could help make sure he continues to climb these rankings.
49 Bruins
Jim Mora (29)
64 Golden Bears
Justin Wilcox (NR)

We share to learn and compare on the Lair.

We also respect Posters with Disabilities if something goes over their Brain Pain Levels and you should avoid attempting to read anything your own mind is missing again in error! Accidental mistakes are forgivable, intentional ones are not, using numbers, statistics and examples to back up opinions are more convincing to share learning.

As your own admission by your missing question you have no opinions that are backed up, this absence of evidence is not evidence on anything you attempted to say worthy on the subject.

Just ignore it, you didn't read it correctly anyway and in time your Brain Pain will go away as seen you had nothing to say!

Thank you for showing us what you were missing!

Good point.....

1. Why he defends Spanier that is really responsible for the Penn State Scandal for not doing his job as President and remaining silent and allowing Sandusky access to Penn State Campus is truly odd. Praise of Spanier in nowhere to be found except in his Posts and All Universities & Trustees Hold the President or Chancellor responsible for all Rules, Compliance's, and Laws!? All but SVPanther Posts?

2. Especially when he condemns Schultz and Curley telling the full Truth Under Oath and calls them snitches? Yet, he wants Baylor that Fired Chancellor Starr & Art Briles is still under Investigation and responding to Lawsuits, NCAA, DOE-DOJ Investigations and putting in Reforms Shut Down as a Cesspool? Yet, Praises Spanier?

3. He has attacked Pitt Posters with insults and using words not allow on the Lair, and rips on Pitt, City of Pittsburgh, Coaches, Players, and told some whoppers when he became a Pitt Fan in 1972 at BC Game, went to Pitt-Psu 1977 and I was at both and he lied about Facts that did not happen, and info on Silicon Valley is both silly and sorry!

4. SVP just became a member in 2016 but did not post much until 2017 and when he did it was on PSU Trials? Odd sense of timing and subject matter? Tratur and Pnnyliar Posts are like SVP and Ziegler's too! Just comparing similar counterarguments to the same opinion, that language factors play an identifiable role.
In particular, the interplay between the language of the opinion holder and that of the counterargument provides highly predictive cues. Finally, since even in this favorable setting people I investigate the problem of determining whether someone's opinion is susceptible to being changed at all and SVP never admits he may be in error, mush as the Paterno Errors at PSU. Leave it to Monitors to decide and view and have run rings around him and Michigan Boys know all about his stalking as well.

Harbaugh is the only coach in the top ten that hasn't won his conference and he's #5.

Kind of discredits the list.

He hasn't even won a division title.

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

Harbaugh is the only coach in the top ten that hasn't won his conference and he's #5.

Kind of discredits the list.

Been there two years and came close, but Big Ten had Wisky-PSU in the Conference Game and Harbaugh beat both of them in 2016! Barely losing to OSU cost him the Shot at B1G too and had a far tougher Schedule than PSU too!

In 2015, lost to MSU by that last Punt Kick too. But you are correct winning the Conference is needed too!

 

[p45]

Harbaugh is the only coach in the top ten that hasn't won his conference and he's #5.

Kind of discredits the list.

Its because of his NFL resume & lets be honest, making Stanford relevant is impressive. I agree, though, 5 is crazy

 

[crosbymalkin8771]

I really don't get some of these rankings. Franklin shot up ridiculously high for one good year but Helton beat his team in the Rose Bowl and is 27 spots lower.

Also Pat Fitzgerald #16 and Cutcliffe #17 seem a bit high. I guess it's experience and some good years...

Pat Fitzgerald #16 and Cutcliffe #17, They actually win more with less talent, but develop well executed Teams and beat Teams with better Talent in some years. They usually develop good 9 to 10 win Teams every 3 years!

Franklin will prove himself being able to coach in the Big Ten East and against Michigan, OSU, MSU, Pitt, Iowa, NWU, and Nebraska in 2017 and 2018!

So those guys, while they've won nothing major, have proven some consistency.

Franklin still has work to do to prove he can run a consistent contender id say. Definitely easier for him to do it at a school where football matters so much and is as a big a brand as it is as opposed to being primarily academics and basketball like Duke/Northwestern (guess we can say basketball for them too possibly?)

Not saying he can't do it, but just a one year sample size.

Narduzzi can be a top 25 coach if he keeps at this pace and develops talent, especially on the defensive side. Can definitely compete in the ACC coastal as well.

 

[ksquared33]

Losing those 2 Bowl games leaves a bad taste in the national reputation among those who follow college football from afar. I know some of our fans want to downplay what those Bowl games mean when they are not top tier Bowl games but it cannot be ignored how losing that last game which is played on national TV & effects the overall team record can mean to as schools reputation.
Especially a team trying to enhance their reputation & be seen as a up & comer on the national college football scene.
IMO this has been Coach Duzz 1 shortcoming in a overall great introduction as a Head football coach.

H2 PITT !!!

"crosbymalkin8771, post: 1895802, member: 44250"]So those guys, while they've won nothing major, have proven some consistency.
Good Post.
In my view and opinion, Yes, I rate Coaches and was told by a Lawyer that represents Bookies and Casino's that set the line and take bets that always evaluate a game by the coach & staff first (How Team Executes No matter The Talent level), Scheduling (When they Play), and the (Great Unknown) is often Injuries or problems when certain Players are hurt, not able practice that week as usual, but can still play, but losing that player changes the execution. looking at both team Coaches, Players, and those Factors. This is why many coaches won't tell you the true condition of the player for it gives the other coach a means to take advantage. Losing one key Player and depending on the position can change that execution, but the better coaches like you say deal with it with consistency! Duke, KSU, and NWU are not BAMA, OSU, USC where 4 to 5 Star Recruit-Players replace 4 to 5 Star Recruit_Players but that Duke, KSU, & NWU 3 to 4 Years Experience Player can beat that line that day with great coaching execution game plans.

Franklin still has work to do to prove he can run a consistent contender id say. Definitely easier for him to do it at a school where football matters so much and is as a big a brand as it is as opposed to being primarily academics and basketball like Duke/Northwestern (guess we can say basketball for them too possibly?)
True, but Franklin is now right on the Heels of OSU & Michigan and his players are now in 3rd and 4th years and will be way better from execution experience as well, especially QB, OL, and WR, RB! Last year they went 11-3 with just playing 2 Quarters once they get more efficient they should be even better? But you are right, now teams will practice more on Moorhead's Offense in 2017 and tougher schedules as well against some Great Coaches. Franklin is now in position to grow his program to Top 15, Top 10 and 5 Status? But if he goes 8-4, it will be reflected in next years ratings!

In Basketball it is different but same concept, one only has to consider 1 to 5 Players and bench of 10 others, theer are others factors that differ from BB, but seldom bet BB, I just follow CFB Coaches closely

Not saying he can't do it, but just a one year sample size.
Agree, and all eyes are watching, but this Franklin Plan and said if you would give him a chance he will make it happen. His Recruiting for 2018 is better than since 2014 and coaching shows by winning 11 games and Big Ten. Same with Heltion at USC but he farther down due to be second year unknowns? This si why Franklin versus Meyers, Harbaugh, Fitzgerald, Narduzzi, Ferentz, Riley and Dantonio. Franklin really beat Dantonio and Ferentz last year badly and should do it again in 2017, but we shall see. But right beating Ferentz, Ferentz beat Harbaugh and cost him B1g Title Shot 7 CFB Invite? This how close it comes between Coaches.

Narduzzi can be a Top 25 coach if he keeps at this pace and develops talent, especially on the defensive side. Can definitely compete in the ACC coastal as well.
Agree, just his 3rd Year as Head caoch and is rebuilding tyhe program, but is showing signs he can become a Dantonio, Chryst, Fitzgerald, Cutcliffe, Johnson, and on their consistent level doing more with less Talent on Recruiting Rankings. ahd he won just 1 more game and went 9 Wins he would be nearer to top 25, if he had went 10 game wins would have been Top 25.

This is also PN toughest challenge since Year 1 as well replacing QB, TE, and still needs that Defensive fix? Close to top 25 not there yet? Franklin is there right now, Holgrosen is closer too!

Narduzzi is going against Top 25 Coaches Franklin, Gundy, and Johnson early, then Fedora, Fuente, and Richt last 3 games, with Cutcliffe, Mendehall, Babers and NCS Doren in between.

Great point, this is why the Elite coaches take bowl games seriously. Paterno was the
Best at it with USC Coaches too. getting one's Players to focus on a Bowl when all are having fun and going to parties and events is harder. it was the difference between going 8-5 and ending with a win going 9-5 that would have put Pitt in Top 25 each year especially after beating PSU & Clemson in 2016 but losing to NWU killed Top 25 Ranking. In 2015, had PN beat Iowa or Miami, or Navy he would be in Top 25!

On Paterno great Bowl Record, this was part of his problem as well. When he suspended Curtis Enis due to Enis NCAA violations, he lost to Florida. Later, patreno played Anwan Phillips even though he was suspended by the University and was a Clery Act Violation 27,000 Fine later sen in 2016.

Again, losing a key player can kill one's Bowl win. Look what hapen when Pitt lost QB, OL, and RB? lost by 7? Narduzzi just did not have the depth at QB ready either, Plus Refs did not call Targeting? NWU Fitzgerald Coaching was better that day? Cost Pitt a top 25 Ranking too!

 

[Big Marty1]

Rankings are fun to read but outside of the obvious top 5 or 10 it changes as fast as their yearly records change. I respect the coaches who prove over time their staying power in the top 20. Since I know Grahams BS ,it is ridiculous he has any respect. I like our coach and wouldn't trade him for anyone outside of the obvious best coaches.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Bowl games are very important. Perception, recruiting, fan support, etc. all are effected by the results. That's why I am concerned about better players opting to forgo competing in them. I hope it doesn't become a trend.

Good point, Graham is on the edge now, had his 5 years at ASU, needs 8 to 10 win season now. Toady lacks the character to last a long time. Good talker won't amount to a Top 25 Coach anywhere, in my view. Flashes in a Penny Pan! Might have ended up at ESPN but they are cutting back now.

The bowl games outside the big ones mean very little to perception, recruiting, fan support, etc. Winning or losing the NYC Bowl has very little impact. For example) Beating Clemson and PS is something you can hang your hat on. I would not trade either of those wins for a win in the NYC Bowl.

Bookies will tell you the Bowl Games are the Hardest to Predict.
1. Some Players are leaving so they want to Party not focus!

2.Others get in for next year and make mistakes.

3. Some Teams get prepared because they were disrespected and focus to prove the other Team wrong by beating them.

4. The bigger more talented Teams Players thinks they just have to show up and will win!

5. Some Players now feel why play at all, i don't want to be hurt for the NFL Draft, so more will be sitting out!

6. So, if 1 to 3 to 5 Players are not focused, won't play, or take it lightly, the Team Loses due lack of execution and missing key Players!

7. Others Players want to be with Family and Friends for last games, or just want to have fun with Pick Ups and Coaches instead of benching them, plays them anyway.

8. Refs stink and make big mistakes too!

9. Traveling takes it toll too, depending how far and Time Zones!

Nothing makes me sicker than remembering the Worst Pitt Game I have saw, when I watch Wannstedt not see that QB Stull was not prepared and just let the entire team Down. Every Player can have a bad day, but it is up to Coach to see it and know it. Wannstedt not seeing it all game long until the last 5 minutes was inexcusable. Wannstedt was pure stubborn arrogance at times. Yet, he was great Rebuilding Recruiting Connections with High Schools while Walt was not that good at it. Pederson oversight Poison hurt all of them as well? Still, that 0-3 Loss was like being tortured when one kept seeing Stull just plain out stunk and the Coach kept waiting and could not see it?

Narduzzi needs to pay more attention too, but it is just his second year? But 0-2 and cost him Two Top 25 Rankings? Navy wanted to make a statement and ran all over Pitt. NWU Fitzgerald & Staff plain out coach him. But Pitt got Charlie Partridge back!

Yep, only the Three CFB Playoff Bowls count now! Most other Bowls all need Sponsors Now and are chipping in silence as Canaries dying in Coalmines smelling methane. Attendance is way down and students and fans are not going like before, and is even happening at at regular games now. Watching on TV is better and like Comedy Show's Canned Laughter......Cheers from the Crowds can be Canned too. Smaller Stadiums with many Sponsor & Boosters Bells and Whistles are the New Future Trend as well.

 

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

You would have to ask the recruits how it affected them. How is recruiting going?

Not very well from what I see and hear but we have way better Posters that know far more than me! How early signing Periods work out remains to be seen too?

Pitt Coach Pat is just in his 3rd Year, THIS YEAR, with a New OC, DL, AD, and just added Recruiting Staffers from Long Term Vacancies and Pederson got his millions in his Selfish Ego-Mistakes Buyouts as Pitt Program did without! Rebuilding the Pitt Program is going on just fine in the 5th year of the ACC.

However, the Pitt Recruiting Challenges are Below and Low at this time against such Elite Established Programs & Great Recruiting Coaches.

West of Pitt A Dog Fight Without Cats:
Recruiting to the West of Pitt is Great but for Elite Established Historic Programs in Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State and not just this year but the last 3 Years! Hard to compete with those 3 by anyone?

East of Pitt A Cat Fight With Recruits Flight:
Recruiting to East of Pitt is dealing with Franklin with a Program just a Tad Under ND, OSU, and UM, but growing stronger and stronger since 2013 and best class ever right now in 2018! Maryland was in the Top 20 and VT not far behind too?? Rutgers has leadership problems but NJ recruits come go North, East, and South more than staying in the Garden State. Temple is doing better in AAC than Rutgers in B1G?

North Of Pitt Like An Arctic Recruiting Desert:
Recruiting to the North is against Cuse and BC and Recruits are sparse to none???

South Of Pitt Just The Opposite Many Recruits But Many Programs Too:
Recruiting to the South is just the opposite, Lots of Recruits, but Lots of SEC, ACC, BIG-10, BIG-12 Teams too????

So Little Done So Much To Do For Pitt!
