Who are the best coaches in college football?
Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel of The Athletic join AP's Ralph Russo to discuss their rankings of the Top 25 coaches in college football right now. The retirement of Nick Saban, Jim Harbaugh moving on to the NFL and a few down years by Dabo Swinney have opened up more than a few spots in the near the top of the rankings, opening the door for coaches such as Lance Leipold of Kansas and Kalen DeBoer, Saban's replacement who just led Washington to the national championship game. And how will expectations on coaches change in college football's new world order?
Ralph's Top 10 coaches:
No. 1 Kirby Smart, Georgia
No. 2 Dabo Swinney, Clemson
No. 3 Brian Kelly, LSU
No. 5. Kyle Whittingham, Utah
No. 6 Kalen DeBoer, Alabama
No. 7 James Franklin, Penn State
No. 8 Lance Leipold, Kansas
