(Edited to fix the name of our coach. I hadn’t had coffee yet)
Sporting News ranked the top coaches ahead of 2021. Not sure what criteria was used. I listed the Big 12 ones and some of the other notable names that have been bandied about this board through the years.
Nice to have some validation that Goff got a good one in Leipold.
