Interesting question about the coaches. Here would be my ranking of the jobs that coaches in the Big 12 have done to this point in the season. I reserve my option to switch them before the end of the season, but heading into this week’s games this is what I see.

Here's how I would rank them on what they have accomplished to this point of the season.

1. Bill Snyder, Kansas State – Proving it again with another Manhattan Miracle.

2. Paul Rhoads, Iowa State – Most amazing thing is how hard the Cyclones are playing.

3. Mack Brown, Texas – Has the league’s best talent, but he’s had to manage it.

4. Bob Stoops, Oklahoma – No surprise he’s kept the wheels on for the Sooners despite amazingly bad run of injuries.

5. Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State – He’s done a good job of coaching the Cowboys without Dez Bryant and Kendall Hunter for most of the season.

6. Mike Sherman, Texas A&M – Young Aggies have responded to his motivational ploys. And he one-upped Leach, which the A&M former students enjoy.

7. Mike Leach, Texas Tech – He’s done a good job coaching around his quarterback injuries, but he hasn’t won much respect from his players’ girlfriends.

8. Bo Pelini, Nebraska – Cornhuskers have a fearsome defense, but have looked unprepared on offense.

9. Gary Pinkel, Missouri – Some drop-off was expected with all of the new players, but a three-game losing streak is still too much.

10. Mark Mangino, Kansas – Has the best personnel of any of his previous teams, but the team’s recent slump has him making some treacherous personnel choices.

11. Art Briles, Baylor – Griffin’s injury was a killer, but the Bears haven’t come close to winning in the conference.

12. Dan Hawkins, Colorado – Burning Hansen’s redshirt and then taking him out of the game two weeks later was the sign of a desperate coach.

Somthing doesn't seem right. Too many people talking good about K-State.  :ohno:

I still think Snyder is at #1 if Mahoney makes that kick and ISU wins in OT... how the hell you guys lost to a D1AA team who Nebby beat 55-0 but then almost knock off Oklahoma is completely beyond me.

Snyder = Genius

KSU did not lose to  IAA team...ULL is DI, albeit a Sun Belt team.

Hey, on this topic, since the Hawks aren't posting here anymore, I'll follow-up on their comparison of Snyder and Mangino's records (which they were trumpeting in 2007 and 2008).

Through their first 7 seasons (+ eight games):

Snyder: 53-34-1 (.606)
Mangino: 50-44 (.532)

Now, think Mangino is about to run off a string of four straight 11-win seasons, or is he just going to fall farther and farther behind?  Jesus, this comparison was always such a stupid talking point for the Hawks...

Classic and one of 'Gina's seasons was nearly a quarter of his wins!!! I love it!!!
