4 most overrated college football head coaches entering 2022

All four of the college football head coaches described here today are good, but are they deserving of every ounce of hype that they have received?

In recent memory, some head coaches in the college football world have garnered a lot of positive attention, while some others have been doing so for quite some time now. However, just how much of said attention is deserved?

Now let’s get something straight: when people first hear the term “overrated,” their minds find it synonymous with “bad,” but that is not the case. Rather, it merely means that whoever is being described gets too much praise for one reason or another.

In other words, all of the upcoming head coaches are overrated, but not bad. If they were bad, they would most likely not have a chance to be overrated in the first place. But nonetheless, surely the comments on this will be something to look forward to.

With all of that said, here are four college football head coaches that are getting a tad too much love at this point in the offseason.

Honorable Mention: Deion Sanders, Jackson State

Deion Sanders earns a spot as an honorable mention on this list, most namely because he is the only one on it that coaches outside of the FBS. However, coaching at a smaller level does not mean that he is exempt from being called out as overrated.

Whenever CFB has an opening for a head coaching position (no matter how big), there is always someone throwing Sanders in as a candidate. Why? Because he’s had a good start as Jackson State?

The goal here is not to indicate that Sanders is incapable of coaching a bigger program, and he does deserve a tremendous amount of kudos for all he has done with the Tigers so far. But despite all of that, he needs to prove himself a bit more before getting one of the bigger gigs in college football.
