Ranking the best college football head coaches by the cool uncle factor.

College football is a world of big personalities, exciting players, and ravenous fans that can also give way to some of the most entertaining coaches in sports. Events around the college football landscape like media days, postgame conferences, and conference meetings can make way for some of the best moments that fans can witness from their favorite team’s head coach.

Amidst the long months of the off-season at this point, interesting head coach storylines can make for some of the most fun news around this time of year. Some of the bigger programs across the nation get a ton of attention from the national media, putting the coaching staffs directly in the spotlight.

The head football coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Nick Saban, is already making his way into headlines this early in the off-season. That includes a spat with current Nebraska Cornhuskers head football coach Scott Frost from his time with the UCF Knights and all the “claimed National Title’ hoopla. He’ll also stay in the spotlight all the way throughout the 2018 season.

Other head coaches will make their way into the news cycles with some controversial statements, weird recruiting techniques, odd social media posts, and a whole lot more.

Coaches can make just as big of an entertaining spiel during the off-season than they can during the regular season itself. It’s a time when college football fans are hungry for something to talk about, and anything can make its way through some of the bigger sports news outlets.

Here’s a look at the 30 college football head coaches that are cooler than your coolest uncle.
