Interesting, but weird list


One of those things that seems really interesting, but who knows what it tells us.

Not sure about Jimbo Fisher at #3. He does have a natty tho so I guess?

I think Fuente is in the right place * based upon the logic they were using *. He does have a conference championship and a fairly good career record. They did have him a little lower on the "proven winner" list. I think it's fair that they have him below Gundy, Mullen, Orgeron but above Mendenhall (if UV had won this year, would have flipped that).

Maybe what this list tells you is that if you don't like Fuente, who do you think we'd be better off with from this list? And would we be able to get the person who you think is better than Fuente?

i.e.
We aren't a school that's going to land a coach from the "Elites" or "Proven Winners" tier.
Which coach from the "Program Builders", "Outside the Power 5" or "Coaches Moving Up" tier would you trade Fu for? Personally, there isn't anybody on those lists that is a no-brainer trade for me. Ok maybe Brohm. But Purdue and VT are super different jobs. Even this is an interesting comparison though. Purdue beat Ohio State this year, but lost to Eastern Michigan and lost BIG to Auburn in their bowl game. It's very arguable that Brohm is a better coach than Fu, and that's probably true for any of the coaches on the three tiers I mentioned.


Other thoughts:
Stoops @ Kentucky should be higher on the list in my opinion but maybe I'm wrapped up in them beating Florida this year.

Harbaugh and Herman seem a little low on the list based upon their total coaching records.

The one other coach that seems to be in a weird place to me is Brohm at Purdue. I guess it's fair because he hasn't won any sort of championship yet, but the turnaround at Purdue has been pretty impressive. (Bottom of Big 10 to upper-middle of big 10 is a big deal).
