34. Lane Kiffin, FAU

FAU’s first season under Kiffin was a huge success. The Owls improved their win total by eight games from the previous year, claimed the Conference USA title thanks to a 41-17 victory over North Texas and defeated Akron in the Boca Raton Bowl. Additionally, FAU finished the season with a 10-game winning streak. As expected, Kiffin’s offense was prolific. The Owls averaged 40.6 points and nearly 500 yards a game last year. From 2014-16, Kiffin worked as Nick Saban’s offensive coordinator at Alabama. The Crimson Tide won one national championship and ranked among the SEC’s best in scoring offense in Kiffin’s three years in Tuscaloosa. Prior to Alabama, Kiffin went 7-6 at Tennessee (2009) and 28-15 at USC (2010-13). The Kiffin-at-FAU experiment was high on intrigue last season. As evidenced by Kiffin’s one year at the helm, the Owls will once again be must-see football throughout the 2018 campaign

34 out of 120

I don't think Jimbo Fisher should be so high without a game at Texas A&M.

I would put Franklin above Dantonio right now.

Kirby Smart and Mark Richt should be higher than Fisher.

I love Bill Snyder, but he is too high.

I think Ferentz should be around 15th. He should be above Snyder.

I think Mike Leach should be Top 10.

I have a feeling Scott Frost is going to be around 30 something next year. Campbell (Iowa State) and Brohm (Purdue) had great seasons the year before transferring to P5 programs. Nebraska is really low right now.

Helton is too far down. USC has been good.

"After a successful high school career, Taggart played quarterback at WKU from 1994-98. He transitioned to coaching with the Hilltoppers in 1999 under Jack Harbaugh and remained in Bowling Green until 2006."

Apparently Western Kentucky University is now in Bowling Green, Ohio

Good job Athlon

No. Ferentz shouldn't be higher than Snyder. That is ridiculous

Fisher should be lower coming off a sub .500 season

Kirby should be lower if anything. Mostly just on track record. He is only In years 2 and people weren't happy after year 1. He is more potential than proven commodity right now

Ferentz replaced a guy that won at a .613 clip. He has a .596 winning percentage.

Snyder has a .655 winning percentage. He is the first coach at KSU to be above .500 since 1934. Previous 4 head coaches went 33-119 before Snyder got there. He replaced Stan Parrish, who went 2-30-1
