Mark Stoops Named Top Coach in College Football

Each year College Football News ranks every single FBS head coach from 1 to 130. Kentucky’s head coach claimed the top spot following the 2018-19 season.

Kentucky might have gone bowling last year, but absolutely no one outside of the biggest blue die-hards could’ve seen what was coming.

No, it wasn’t an SEC Championship season, but with a limited offense, killer defense, and a gameplan with no margin for error, Stoops put together a masterpiece.

Ten wins, a victory over Florida for the first time since 1986, a 46-point blowout over Louisville, and a Citrus Bowl win over Penn State – it was a special coaching job.
