College football’s most underrated coach from each Power 5 conference

Behind the dominance of the Crimson Tides and Buckeyes of the college football world, there stands a wide array of schools waiting to take the country by storm. These programs are almost always in such a position due to their head coach.

Smaller programs, and/or ones placed amongst bigger and better competition, will sometimes be subjected to this category of college football as they are bound to be more than what meets the eye (thanks to having the leadership and talent to at least make some noise and, as a result, headlines).

Striking relevance at underdog schools is what drives solid head coaching options to work their way up to the top. For example, before Urban Meyer was the coaching legend that he became at Florida and Ohio State, he had to show promise at Bowling Green, followed by Utah (who was in the Mountain West at the time).

With such outstanding potential in mind, I figured that it would be appropriate to give the coaches at some less renowned competitors some love. However, we will keep it at the Power Five level, as that indicates that they could be well on their ways to their big breaks.

Let’s get started.

Here is the list of the most underrated head coach from each Power Five conference.
