It all gets looked at when looking at the best coaches in college football. Some of the top coaches in college football right now in no specific order are Urban Meyers, Nick Saban, Mark Dantonio, Bob Stoops, Gary Patterson, and Dabo Sweeney.

One of the first coaches I see and hear the most about is Coach Nick Saban, he has coach at many different division one schools including Toledo University, Michigan State University, and Alabama University. His coaching record is 191 wins – 60 losses and one tie. Saban also has a winning percentage of 765% out of 1000%. Saban has also played in 16 major Bowl games. Including the BCS Championship, the Capital One Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, and the Cotton Bowl. His team when he has been coached has been ranked number one eight times in his career.

Another coach with a very strong resume when looking at coaching careers is Coach Urban Meyer, who also has coached at numerous other division one colleges such as Bowling Green State, Utah, Florida, and Thee Ohio State University. Just like his peer Nick Saban he also has an outstanding career record with 157 wins and 27 losses and a win percentage of .851. Meyer has also participated in 11 bowl games and has a record of 9 wins and 2 losses. He has coached in games such as the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, the BCS Championship, and the Capital One Bowl.

The last coach I’m going to speak about when considering there career is Coach Mark Dantonio, has also had a very winning career while coaching at Cincinnati and Michigan State. Dantonio has a record of 105 wins and 50 losses and a winning percentage of .677 %. Dantonio has also coached in 9 major bowl games, such as the Capital one Bowl, Rose Bowl, and the Cotton Bowl.

Just touching on these three great coaches doesn’t overlook the other hundreds of coaches that I didn’t talk about. These ones just stand out to me personally. There are numerous other coaches who have had won many games in their careers and who have won many championships.



College Football Uniforms

In the college football world uniforms mean a lot and the brighter the better, there are numerous teams in the division 1 level and throughout college football that are sponsored by huge brands. Such as Nike, Adidas, and Under Amour. These brands by sponsoring these teams give them all sorts of gear and equipment such as cleats, gloves, arm and leg bands, and many other things. 
These teams also ge

t new jerseys for certain games for example Oregon University there story is kind of special
Oregon University, graduate Phil Knight is also the CEO of Nike. Over the last few years Oregon has had 10,000 uniform combinations and they continue to expand and get newer ones as the time comes. 
 This means a lot of things as far as the school having one of the biggest connections in sports. There sports teams are all endorsed by Nike. The team that sees it the most is the football team. The Oregon football team is one of the brightest teams in college football. With the upcoming popularity of the color lime green, Oregon has embraced it with open arms.  They have also been known to have way more jerseys then needed, and they usually showcase a new one a year.

Another team with ridiculously creative uniforms is the University of Maryland football team. Their jerseys is really a creative look. It involves many different colors including Red, Black, white, and Yellow. As well as their flag, with all the pride in the University of Maryland their uniforms play great tribute to them. Their team is on the up and coming in college football as they’ve been getting better and better as the years go by. Sponsored by under amour I wouldn’t be surprised if they got another set of jerseys for this upcoming year.

Another team that has changed their look over the last couple years is Navy, the military based school has changed their look and become a more modern type style with their uniforms. They have left their basic old style and have moved to a newer style with blue and gold and a helmet with a three 
color tone which makes them look really good.

In this coming era college football has changed from the lose fitting jerseys to tight fitting jerseys which players seem to like way more because of the style. Numerous teams have switched to these tight fitting jerseys such as TCU, North Carolina, Auburn, and Boise State etc.  


Even though these teams seem to have these great uniforms they all play different styles of games. But since improving there jersey they have been playing better and going up on the college football ranks. You look good feel good play good, that’s always been my motto. The teams will continue to change their look as the image and what people like will continue to change what look will be next? Who knows but I’m guessing Oregon will be one of the first to know.
