College Football 2017 Top Coaches

 

Alabama's Nick Saban is at the top of college football's coaching mountain (Sportsthenandnow.com)

Here are the top 10 coaches in the game (Power Five leagues, which is 65 teams). Longevity and accomplishment mean a lot, but up and comer status is not discounted. Feel free to agree or disagree.
The top four are pretty much no-brainers, but after that there will be some debate.

1 Nick Saban/Alabama
2 Urban Meyer/Ohio State
3. Dabo Swinney/Clemson
4. Jimbo Fisher/Florida State
5. David Shaw/Stanford
6. Chris Peterson/Washington
7. Mike Gundy/Oklahoma State
8. Jim Harbaugh/Michigan
9. Gary Patterson/TCU
10. Kyle Whittingham/Utah

Knocking on the door: Jim McElwain/Florida; Pat Fitzgerald/Northwestern; David Cutcliffe/ Duke; Mark Dantonio/Michigan State; Bobby Petrino/Louisville; Mark Richt/Miami (Fla); Dan Mullen/Mississippi State; Mike Leach/Washington State; James Franklin/Penn State; Paul Johnson/Georgia Tech
