CBS Sports Releases 2025 Power Four College Football Coach Rankings

CBS Sports recently released its 2025 Power Four college football head coach rankings, highlighting both top and lower-tier coaches. Alabama's Kalen DeBoer was ranked No. 9, noted for his strong 7-0 record against coaches ranked above him, including wins over Kirby Smart and Brian Kelly. At the other end, Arkansas' Sam Pittman was ranked 57th, criticized for never achieving a winning SEC record and facing a potential coaching change if no improvement occurs. Michigan's Sherrone Moore was ranked 58th, a controversial position given his wins against top-15 teams and a strong recruiting class, leading some to call the ranking a significant undervaluation. Florida's Billy Napier was placed at No. 45, with some surprise that he did not rank higher after leading the Gators to an 8-5 finish. Rich Rodriguez, returning to West Virginia, was ranked 42nd despite previous success, with speculation that his low ranking may be due to his absence from the Power Four for eight years.
