Chip Kelly is #3, Whittingham is #4, Leach is #5, Sumlin is #6, Cristobal is #7 (though poised to climb), and golden boy across the bay is #8, Helton is #9, and Edwards, Smith, and Tucker (new Colorado coach) round out the list.

Shaw is second in the Pac-12, 9th overall behind Petersen (3rd overall).
Quote:David Shaw’s run at Stanford has the respect of many in college football circles. Since Shaw replaced Jim Harbaugh with the Cardinal, he has four Pac-12 Coach of the Year wins and three conference championships to go along with an 82-26 record. Saying goodbye to skill players like JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Bryce Love in 2018 puts more eyes on quarterback K.J. Costello to lead the way this season.
CBS Sports says, “After all, Stanford's ‘only’ won 18 games the last two seasons, going 13-5 in the Pac-12. That's a step back from a program that had gone 64-17 (42-12) in Shaw's first six seasons. So Shaw's kind of a victim of the expectations he's set at Stanford. Still, the fact that consecutive nine-win seasons at Stanford is seen as a step in the wrong direction is all you need to know about why Shaw is a top 10 coach.”
