Far too little controversy here ...

[surly]

Let's rank B12 coaches based solely on what they accomplished this year.

1. BU's Rhule wins COY for good reason (picked 6th finished t1)
2. K-State's Klieman does a masterful job following the master (9th finished t3)
3. OU's Riley should have gone undefeated (1st finished t1)
4. oSu's Gundy produces top runner (5th finished t3)
5. WVU's Brown rallies the troops and gets them better (8th finished 7)
6. ISU's Campbell meets expectations (3rd finished t3)
7. TCU's Patterson loses a ton of heartbreakers and doesn't make bowl (4th finished t6)
8. Texas's Herman make a bowl but broadly underperforms (2nd finish t3)
9. TxT's Wells lost his QB early (7th finish 9)
10. Ku's has Miles to go (10th finish 10)

Oh hey, another Surly ranking thread no one cares about...

Actully the fact that Miles crushed Boston college and the team, even though they suck, has improved from last year and has a semi decent recruiting class makes me think he should be 8th or 9th. Wells should be 8th or 9th and Herman, with a pre season Heisman Candidate and what he has at Texas should have finished either 1st or 2nd.

Cool by me. Good luck having your coach mentioned in every possible article to replace someone else

Ku won one B12 game both years and both years ended with 3 victories. Herman is hard to place because the team could have cratered but didn't.

I'm not sure if it's irony or sarcasm?

Ranking Neal Brown above Campbell is a joke.

You lost all credibility when you put Brown ahead of Campbell.

Brown, picked 8th, finishes 7. Campbell picked 3rd, finishes 3, and beat WVU on the road.... yeah, lets rank Brown ahead of Campbell.

Did you bother reading the criteria, dummy? Or are you just blowing gas to flavor the room?

 

[IASTATE07]

I don't see the need to create controversy on CF. Happens pretty frequently.

Yes boomer, I can read.

Last I checked 7-5 is better than 5-7 "based on what they accomplished".

If you are just doing it based on what they accomplished with respect to their pre season pick, Les Miles should be #1. Dude was picked 10th and finished 10th. That’s an A+ in my book.

Your criteria is "what they accomplished this year"

Yet, your rankings are based on where they finished with respect to where they were picked in preseason. So maybe you should restate your criteria to say preseason rankings hold as much weight as on-field results.

Also, let's all hope K-State is picked #1 in preseason next year so we can do this again and see where Klieman ends up with your criteria!

She doesn't even add that part to her post, just based on what they accomplished, then claims I didn't read "the criteria".

She's just a dip ****

[knowlesjam]

Ehh, I'd actually drop out the first year coaches...they are pretty much using another dudes players. Maybe they are good at putting together disparate pieces and exceed expectations, Hard to really see the true basis until you get 2-3 years in.

1. Rhule
2. Gundy
3t. Riley
3t. Campbell
5. Herman
6. Patterson

The reliance on "finished higher than picked in preseason" continues to be one of the dumbest measures of a coach's performance. It mainly just tells me that the preseason pollsters sucked at their job, not that the coach did well at his.

You are really riding the struggle bus around here today bud.

The metric was selectively chosen to justify her placement of K State and Klieman
