CBS: Ranking first-year coaches one month into the season (#4. Tracy Claeys)

[BleedGopher]

per CBS:

4. Tracy Claeys, Minnesota (3-0): Claeys wasn't a splashy hire, but he knows the program and might have been the best available choice to lead the Gophers in the wake of Jerry Kill's sudden retirement. It's tough to argue with 3-0 and the Big Ten West has some winnable games coming up for the Gophers.

I like how the guy Georgia fired and Georgia are on the list.

I've been told here that it's Claeys' sixth year as a head coach. Why do they include him in the list of first-year coaches?

Yeah that was totally your type of comment Spoofin.

And how about the fact that there are 29 first year coaches in the FBS - approximately 23% of the schools have new coaches, that seems like a really high number but I know the turnover in coaches is off the charts these days.

Let's be honest, this is a single guy, he doesn't have family responsibilities and such. So he can dedicate a lot more time to the game so it's 6+ at least.

He's single?? Didn't know that. I'll make sure I dress nice and am cleanly shaven at games from now on...
