Top Three Big 12 Coaches at this Moment


              The fifth week of the college football season has come and gone.  My top three coaches of the Big 12 are Mac Brown, Gary Patterson, and Bob Stoops.  Here are my reasons why they are in my top three.

                Mack Brown is one of the best coaches right now because he gets his team to perform week in and week out.  He has made the defense for Texas one of the top defenses in the Big 12 right now.  He knows how to coach his players so they are prepared for any challenges they could face in a game.  Also, he knows how to recruit talented players so they are top contenders every year.  Sometimes his team is inconsistent, but he knows how to coach well in a game.

                The second coach that is one of my top three Big 12 coaches is TCU’s head coach Gary Patterson because he has turned TCU into a powerhouse.  The reason why I say this is because in the last couple of years when TCU was not part of a BCS conference, he prepared his team to play big name opponents and they usually won.  He makes sure to keep his team focused if they become too confident.  This way TCU will not lose momentum in the game.  He is a well-liked coach, because he respects his players.

                The third coach on my list is Oklahoma’s, Bob Stoops, even though his team lost to KSU.  He still has one of the best recruiting classes every year which makes Oklahoma contenders against opponents.  He knows how to prepare for a game so his team is mentally and physically ready.  He does a good job of finding coaches who have the same philosophy as him.  He has numerous former players in the NFL and that is why players would like him as a coach; to have the opportunity to play in the NFL.

                These are my top three Big 12 coaches of the season as of right now, but it could change before the end of the season.  If you would like to see what Greg Madia (West Virginia University Football Beat Reporter) said who his top coaches are of the Big 12.  Here is a youtube video I have embeded where he is ranking all ten Big 12 coaches, but pay more attention to his top three.

  1. I like how you took a break from just posting games of the week and instead talked about the coaches. I'll admit that I know who the good teams are in the big 12, but I don't really pay a lot of attention to the coaches. It's amazing the big influence that coaches have on a team when they can play the game well. I also like how you put the top ten coaches in the slide show! Great job!
