I would move Sonny Dykes below Arranda, because he has only one year in the Big 12 and has been so-so everywhere else.

I would move Dana Holgorsen below Campbell, I have never been as impressed with Holgorsen as some people are. He has just been so-so over all as a head coach and is up and down to often at WVa and Houston.

I would move Steve Sarkisian to just above Brent Venables. If you can't win at Texas then you do not deserve to be that high. I am big on the advantages of a University and Texas has a bunch. It is not so much wins and losses but how should you do given the school you are at. So, in my opinion, that is why Snyder is one of the best of all time if not the best, because winning at KSU when he did was almost impossible. KSU was the worst team in major college history at the time. Texas is the opposite you or I should be able to win there and we are not even coaches.

The rest are all spot on. Just my two cents.

It looks about right but Liepold is too high but I guess Robert is giving Klieman and Liepold credit for their lower level successes!!! You want to talk about miracle turn arounds, look at what the Coach at UConn did last year, Jim Mora, with a program basically left for dead in his first year he went 6-7 and took them to a bowl game! He finished 6-7 same as another program in this State!!! Also Robert, a couple of factual errors here, Malzahn did not win a championship at Auburn his first year (2013)! They won it in 2010 with Cam Newton and Gene Chizik as HC! Venables was not the Clemson defensive defensive coordinator in that 70 - 33 loss to West Virginia, he was hired in mid January 2012 when Bob Stoops brought drunk little brother back as D Coordinator after he had been fired at Arizona!

Hard to rank without criteria, so won't try. Pointless.

That said, I'm very happy with HC Mike Gundy. I can't think of another coach I'd rather have at OK State. Go Pokes!

Virtually impossible to rank, as OSU, KSU, ISU and to a lessor extent Tech have some built in recruiting challenges including population disadvantages. What I can say is Gundy and K-State's coach are seemingly doing a heck of a job based on and/or for whatever strategies they are using.
