PAC 12:
61. Mike MacIntyre, Colorado:[/B] MacIntyre hasn't accomplished much in his first two seasons at Colorado, going 1-17 in Pac-12 play.
55. Sonny Dykes, California:[/B] After going 1-11 in 2013, Dykes' Cal team won five games last season. That's the right kind of trend.
40. Steve Sarkisian, USC:[/B] Sarkisian has had a lot of talent in his six seasons as a head coach, but he's yet to win 10 games in a season or even a division title.
39. Mike Leach, Washington State:[/B] Pullman has not been kind to Leach, as he's gone 12-25 in three years, but we still remember what he did with Texas Tech.
38. Gary Andersen, Oregon State: [/B]Leaving Wisconsin for Oregon State may have been the right move for Andersen on a personal level, but will it be the right move as a coach?
34. Jim Mora, UCLA:[/B] It's hard to argue with Mora's 29-11 start at UCLA ... but hasn't each season left you feeling like the Bruins could have done more?
30. Kyle Whittingham, Utah:[/B] Urban meyer may have built it, but Whittingham has done a fantastic job maintaining the Utah program in his 11 seasons, and now it seems the Utes have adjusted to Pac-12 life.
29. Todd Graham, Arizona State:[/B] Graham has taken a lot of flak for his job-hopping, but you know what? Schools don't want to hire you if you're not a good coach, and schools want to hire Graham.
23. Rich Rodriguez, Arizona[/B]: Had things gone better at Michigan, Rodriguez would be ranked a lot higher. Still, the job he did at West Virginia and the job he's doing right now at Arizona are enough to warrant finishing this high. We can only wonder if he'll try his hand at another "blue blood" should the chance come along.
20. David Shaw, Stanford[/B]: Shaw hit the ground running after taking over for Jim Harbaugh, winning 34 games, two Pac-12 titles and a Rose Bowl in his first three seasons with the Cardinal. Things went backward in 2014, though, and how things go from here on out will be Shaw's real legacy with the Cardinal.
14. Mark Helfrich, Oregon[/B]: Helfrich has only been at the helm for two years at Oregon, but in that time he's won 24 games and played for a national title. The question going forward will be how his Ducks teams perform without Marcus Mariota, and when its his players he's coaching, not the remains of Chip Kelly's.
12. Chris Petersen, Washington[/B]: Petersen is no doubt rated this highly thanks to everything he accomplished at Boise State. If we did these rankings two years ago he'd definitely be in the top ten, but after a couple of eight-win seasons his Q rating has taken a bit of a hit.
