Nice jump . . . they had him at #83 last year: http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-football/story/2013-04-22/college-football-coach-rankings-2013-nick-saban-urban-meyer-les-miles

But how exactly did Bryan Harsin get up to #56? He has one year as a head coach, in which he took a team that had gone 10-3 the previous year (with a bowl win over a top 25 team) and led them to an 8-5 record. I'm not sure how that gets a coach ranked over Larry Coker, and I'm not sure what Larry Coker did last year to get knocked down 8 spots.

Maybe they saw their players flipping off the fans at Apogee?

McCarney, Coker, and Stockstill are way underrated on this list...

Stockstill is his own enemy. His teams are never consistent. He'll have a great year or 2, then have a stinker season or 2. Very odd.
