The Cover 3 crew reveals and debates the new CBS Sports coach rankings. After a reveal of the entire list from No. 1 to No. 65 (4:40), the discussion begins with the value of recruiting as a skill for modern coaches, focusing on Kirby Smart and others who have talent advantages against the competition (9:00). Then it’s on to the other side of the coaching debate with the likes of Pat Fitzgerald and Matt Campbell, coaches who have won at non-traditional powers (20:48). Finally, where are the outliers from our ballots for the coach rankings? (30:15). Finally, the outliers: find out who was higher or lower than the group on Gary Patterson, Kirk Ferentz (35:25), Geoff Collins (41:15), David Shaw (46:15), Mark Stoops (52:00) and more.
