Hello there. In the everlasting search for offseason #content, we stumbled upon an idea that we thought could be, ahem, sampled. It started with some writers from The Athletic ranking coaching hires over a certain period of time in conferences such as the SEC and Big Ten. Naturally, nobody cared enough to do one for the Pac-10/12, so yours truly decided to step into the obvious void and compile the definitive list. You’re welcome (?)
Why since 2000? A few reasons. Nearly two decades provides for enough hires to rate across the spectrum. Also, there were no coaching changes after 1999, which gave a convenient break in the near-constant turnover.
