      Maybe they meant Franklin for THIS year, not last year. I will laugh if he finally beats a top ten team at Va Tech after his well documented troubles at State.

      Good post!  Going back a bit further, you have CBS Pre-Season Coaches of the Year:

      2024 Ryan Day

      2023 Kirby Smart

      2022 Ryan Day

      2021 Lincoln Riley

      2020 Dabo Swinney

      Not bad company.  All have won championships, except for….well, you know… the one who has yet to even sniff a playoff game at his present school…. 😉

        Hahaha, nice LAD.
        But seriously that is a good list of coaches. Let’s see if Lanning has the chops to grab a seat at that table. I think he can, a lot of talent on that Oregon roster.

      Thanks, BB!

      It’s interesting to note that of those coaches listed with national championships to their name, all became first-time head coaches at their respective schools (tOSU, Georgia, Clemson).

      It took Ryan Day and Kirby Smart 6 seasons, and Dabo Swinney 9 seasons, to each win a national championship game after never being a head coach anywhere else.

      Wonder if Lanning can earn a similar distinction….?  Or will he end up never getting to that mountaintop like so many other head coaches?
