Interestingly the site has a section titled "CFB Coach Ratings", explaining that "We define on the field coaching as ... game management, play calling and motivational ability" while "excluding recruiting", although they do not explain their methodology any further.

In any case, Shaw ranks 19th out of 130 FBS coaches in their ranking, 4th in the Pac-12 behind Petersen, Leach and Wittingham (who all rank in the top ten, with Petersen ranked ahead of Nick Saban). Urban Meyer is ranked #1 and Jim Harbaugh #2.

If I were to rank FBS coaches, I'd rank them by their position on the collective NFL GM's speed dial.
