It’s hot outside, the sleet has subsided, and the allergies are kicking in. It’s beginning to feel like the college football season is just around the corner, and a quick look at the calendar says that we’re just a couple of months out from what we consider the best time of the year (sorry Christmas).

With the start of the college football season, you’re going to see a ton of lists and predictions, some of them better than others. We’re not immune to it either, so stay tuned if you like that sort of thing.

As we get ready to ramp up our coverage of the football season for Ohio State, we thought we’d take a look at the current head coaches in the Big Ten and rank them from worst to first. It’s not saying we don’t like the guys at the bottom of this list, but the combination of recruiting, records, championships, and off-the-field measures all speak for themselves for the most part.

Instead of getting too cute and trying to analyze this 3,000 different ways to sundown, we’re just lining them up and asking the question: “Who would you take in a lineup to coach your team?”

Here’s a look at our ranking of Big Ten football coaches as we head into the fall of 2022. Let the debate begin.
