Like movies, television, or any work of art, it’s all subjective. So are rankings. It all depends on what criteria one uses to develop those rankings. We may agree or disagree. That’s what makes rankings fun. It makes for an interesting discussion.
And this particular ranking might provide some of that “interesting discussion.”
As we get set for spring ball to resume in Eugene, On3 recently put out a ranking of the top coaches in the Pac-12 conference. The criteria used by Jesse Simonton included recent performance, recruiting, hiring ability, NFL track record when it comes to players, and ability to work the transfer portal.
For the most part, it would seem that Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning checks most of if not all of those boxes early on in his tenure with the Ducks. So where does that land him on the ranking of Pac-12 coaches?
Let the debate begin.
