. . . Jeff Hafley. 65. player. 826

Boston College‘s Jeff Hafley has never been a college head coach and is the most inexperienced of all the new ones.

. . . Jimmy Lake. 64. player. 818

Like Hafley, Washington‘s Jimmy Lake has never been a head coach, so by default, he ranks near the bottom.

Dave Aranda. 63. player. 860. . .

Baylor‘s Dave Aranda has had some great defenses at LSU and Wisconsin but has never been a head coach before. He’s here by default as well.

Sam Pittman. 62. player. 844. . .

Like Hafley, Lake and Aranda, Arkansas‘ Sam Pittman has never been a head coach. Since he’s been around the game a little longer, he ranks just ahead.

834. . . . Manny Diaz. 61. player

Given how big of a train wreck Miami was last season, it’s surprising Manny Diaz made it through year one.

Matt Wells. 60. player. 874. . .

Texas Tech took a step back in Matt Wells first season and he truly wasn’t anything special at Utah State either.

. Karl Dorrell. 59. player. 857. .

Welcome back to college football, Karl Dorrell. He has some ground to make up but should do just fine at Colorado.

Things are starting to go downhill at NC State and Dave Doeren deserves much of the blame.

808. . . . Clay Helton. 57. player

The 2020 season will be Clay Helton’s last chance to right the ship at USC. Will he? Probably not.

Greg Schiano being back at Rutgers feels right. He did some great things in Jersey but has a lot of work to do in his second tenure to move up on this list.

. . . Derek Mason. 55. player. 887

Derek Mason has had a few decent seasons at Vanderbilt but hasn’t been anything close to what James Franklin was able to do in Nashville.

. . Will Muschamp. 54. player. 850.

Will Muschamp has had some high profile jobs but hasn’t had much success in those positions. If he doesn’t lead the Gamecocks to a bowl game in 2020, he’s a goner.

805. . . . Mel Tucker. 53. player

Mel Tucker got one heck of a payday for a coach that only has a 5-7 career record as a head coach.
