Twenty-four major-college football programs have changed coaches from the 2019 season. Twelve from the Power 5 conferences; 12 from the mid-majors.

There’s no way to tell how the new coaches will fare. Three decades ago, who saw Bill Snyder as a great hire at Kansas State? Three years ago, who saw Tom Herman as anything but a great hire at Texas?

But we can at least guess. And so I do. Here is my annual ranking of college football’s coaching hires. I am not predicting who will win more games. Michigan State will win more than will Rutgers. Washington will win more than does Colorado.

This is a ranking of fit. Who hired a man that can elevate the program and/or keep it humming?
