On Thursday, CBS Sports came out with an article ranking all the Big Ten coaches from worst to best.
Back on June 14, we ranked the Big Ten coaches as well, and for this article, we are going to compare the two lists and see where they stack up to one another.
There is a few differences between the two rankings, but you will see some common themes as well — like the top three coaches in the Big Ten.
One thing is for certain though, the Big Ten has some really good coaches, and they could lead a ton of programs out there. CBS Sports has five Big Ten coaches ranked inside the top 15 in the nation.
Without further ado, here are the Big Ten coaches ranked by CBS Sports.
