Ranking college football’s 5 most underachieving head coaches in 2017

College football is filled with great coaches, but it also has its fair share of underwhelming leaders. Here are the most underachieving coaches in the sport.

There are plenty of great tenured coaches in the college football today. Nick Saban, Gary Patterson, Mark Dantonio and list can go on and on. But some other tenured coaches have done all they can on the field and need to lead from the athletic department.

In life, everyone will hit a peak in a profession and at that point it is time to grow in a different avenue. Here are five head coaches that might better served as administrators now in their careers.

5. Georgia Tech’s Paul Johnson

It seems like Paul Johnson has been the head coach of the Yellow Jackets since the birth of the triple-option offense, but he has only been in Atlanta since 2008. Shocker, I know.

But Georgia Tech needs to evolve. The state of Georgia and especially the city of Atlanta has a bunch of great athletes. But those athletes don’t want to go play in the triple-option — but parents, now Johnson would be a great mentor for your sons.

Johnson could take a bigger role in the athletic department. Plus, the academics at Georgia Tech and new voice at the head coach could get Tech over the top in the ACC Coastal division.

Johnson has a record over .500 and he has done a lot more positive than negative. He could keep steering the Ramblin Wreck as the face of the Yellow Jacket football team.
