15 current college football head coaches who’d make great TV analysts
With a national title in his back pocket and another appearance in the College Football Playoff with over 20 straight victories, Jimbo Fisher has been one of the most successful head coaches in the country over the past decade. What’s wild is the fact that he doesn’t truly get the respect he deserves.
The heir to Bobby Bowden’s throne in Tallahassee has been a reliable figure in the college football landscape and he knows football as good, or better, than his counterparts. Since taking over for Bowden seven years ago, Fisher has recruited better than any coach in the ACC and he’s only accounted for one season with less than 10 wins.
Moreover, he’s coached a Heisman-winning quarterback, elite running back talent and has had one of the best defenses in college football. He has compiled a 78-17 record overall and possesses one national title, three conference championships and a division crown. Fisher knows how to be successful.
If he carries that winning attitude over to the booth, he’d be one heck of an analyst. The 51-year-old West Virginia-native has that southern charm that could captivate an audience.
