Ranking all 130 college football head coaches before the 2019 season is an impossible task. However, as Athlon Sports has done for each of the last eight years leading up to the start of the upcoming season, we set out to sort out every FBS head coach from No. 1 to the bottom. And for the eighth straight year, Alabama's Nick Saban takes the top spot. Clemson's Dabo Swinney jumps to No. 2 with Ohio State's Urban Meyer retiring, while Washington's Chris Petersen checks in at No. 3 and Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher at No. 4.
Success with any college football team starts with coaching.
