JD Pickell is an SEC homer....take the big spenders out of the equation and as far as coaching goes..Day, Sarkisian and Lanning would move down those spots...
Day just won the NC in a very convincing matter. He's not dropping regardless of the money involved. In fact he should be number 1. Smart had a pretty average year, other than beathing texas twice. Agree with Sark and Lanning dropping.
OSU was ready to fire the guy until he won the NC. All that talent and they never showed it until the playoffs. The fact they spent over $20M in NIL tells you it wasn't just his coaching that got them there...
Dabo should be # 1. Two NCs with small budget and no transfers.
Hopefully the Ducks offer him $15 mil/ yr after Lanning is fired by the end of 2025.
Agree 100%
Without "big budgets" I'd say the only "proven" head coaches are Smart, DeBoer and Kelly.
And even with that, big budgets will only get you so far.

10M per is way too much to not be on this list. Should be in the upper half frankly, but not even close.
Jen Cohen has some painful times ahead of her.
