Big Ten dunks on SEC in college football coaching carousel. That's the cold truth​

https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/big-ten-dunks-sec-college-171828053.html

The above article opened my eyes to how good the coaching is likely to be in the B1G.

“UCLA went the Group of Five route with Chesney, but the other three Big Ten schools making hires turned to veterans. Whittingham is the winningest coach in Utah history. Campbell is the winningest coach in Iowa State history. Fitzgerald is the winningest coach in Northwestern history.“ Yikes!!!

“Consider, Bret Bielema (Illinois) probably ranks somewhere in the No. 8 range of the Big Ten's pecking order of coaches. Bielema beat South Carolina and Tennessee in bowl games in the past two seasons. He's won 19 games with the Illini the past two years. That's no small feat, and he's just one example of the Big Ten's solid collection of down-ballot coaches.” Dang!!!
 


One thing I absolutely love is how Dan Lanning is so respectful and positive with reporters even if his team is down, such a tough way to be as a competitor.
Yeah, from afar he's seemed like someone who started on 3rd base and thought he hit a triple. Having seen him more now, I definitely grab a beer with the guy.

Yeah, during the quick interview before half time he could have been pouty or curt but instead he was polite and delivered a soundbite for the sideline reporter.
 

Where does PJ rank in the coaching lists in the B10? Assuming most would put him between 7-12?
