Ranking Big Ten football coaches heading into 2022

It’s hot outside, the sleet has subsided, and the allergies are kicking in. It’s beginning to feel like the college football season is just around the corner, and a quick look at the calendar says that we’re just a couple of months out from what we consider the best time of the year (sorry Christmas).

With the start of the college football season, you’re going to see a ton of lists and predictions, some of them better than others. We’re not immune to it either, so stay tuned if you like that sort of thing.

As we get ready to ramp up our coverage of the football season for Ohio State, we thought we’d take a look at the current head coaches in the Big Ten and rank them from worst to first. It’s not saying we don’t like the guys at the bottom of this list, but the combination of recruiting, records, championships, and off-the-field measures all speak for themselves for the most part.
