The Rivals Team have ranked the Top 25 Head Coaches for D1.....

[The Prowler]

2008 Head Coaches Top 25
As of May 20th, 2008:
 
 1  Pete Carroll USC Head Coach  -
 All those early draft picks never knock USC out of title contention.
 2  Jim Tressel Ohio State Head Coach  -
 Ohio State has played for the national title the last two years.
 3  Urban Meyer Florida Head Coach  -
 The Gators could contend for a title again if they shore up their defense.
 4  Les Miles LSU Head Coach  -
 Will his decision to pull the plug on Ryan Perrilloux pay off?
 5  Bob Stoops Oklahoma Head Coach  -
 Those recent bowl losses are the only reasons to quibble about him.
 6  Mark Richt Georgia Head Coach  -
 How will he deal with sky-high expectations this year?
 7  Frank Beamer Virginia Tech Head Coach  -
 He has plenty of holes to fill on both sides of the ball.
 8  Jim Grobe Wake Forest Head Coach  -
 Grobe proved last year that 2006 season was no fluke.
 9  Tommy Tuberville Auburn Head Coach  -
 How will a pair of new coordinators change him this year?
 10  Mack Brown Texas Head Coach  -
 That string of 10-win seasons could last at least one more year.
 11  Dennis Erickson Arizona State Head Coach  -
 He wasted no time turning things around at Arizona State.
 12  Steve Spurrier South Carolina Head Coach  -
 That late-season slide causes him to rank lower than usual.
 13  Nick Saban Alabama Head Coach  -
 A late-season slump also affected his position on this list.
 14  Mark Mangino Kansas Head Coach  -
 A repeat of 2007 will have him moving near the top of the chart.
 15  Rich Rodriguez Michigan Head Coach  -
 How long will it take for the Wolverines to adjust to his system?
 16  Gary Pinkel Missouri Head Coach  -
 Those questions about his job security are a thing of the past.
 17  Bronco Mendenhall BYU Head Coach  -
 Can he deliver double-digit wins for a third straight season?
 18  Brian Kelly Cincinnati Head Coach  -
 He has helped make Cincinnati relevant on the national stage.
 19  Jeff Tedford California Head Coach  -
 Will he go with Nate Longshore or Kevin Riley at QB?
 20  Mike Riley Oregon State Head Coach  -
 His teams always seem to get better late in the season.
 21  Jim Leavitt South Florida Head Coach  -
 That bowl performance left a bad taste in our mouths.
 22  Mike Bellotti Oregon Head Coach  -
 How will he replace Dennis Dixon and Jonathan Stewart?
 23  Mike Leach Texas Tech Head Coach  -
 This could be the year he makes a run at a Big 12 title.
 24  Pat Hill Fresno State Head Coach  -
 The Bulldogs proved that 2006 season was no more than a hiccup.
 25  Bobby Petrino Arkansas Head Coach  -
 He could have some growing pains in his first year at Arkansas.

I think Les Miles is way overrated.

If Urban wins big this year I could agree with him being where he is but as of right now, it's too high.

that list is certainly different form the one shane for brains had in his "column" recently, seems like 'the SABAN" was 1st in the SEC and CTT somewhere down the list, something isn't right here, how can it be?

[Hogwally]

There are several coaches on that list I wouldn't trade for.  There are several I wouldn't trade for either of the Mississippi Schools' coaches either.

How cool would it be if your coaches name was Bronco Mendenhall?  Coolest name in coaching.  Very underrated name.
