College Football's Top 10 Head Coaches on the Rise for 2013 [1]

Kliff Kingsbury is a rising star in the coaching ranks.

It seems every college football [20] season has an active coaching carousel at the end of the year. Athletic directors are always looking for the next big thing, and there is no shortage of coaches looking to make the jump to a top-tier BCS program.

Ranking All 125 College Football Head Coaches for 2013 [21]

Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and Bill Snyder rank as the best coaches in college football.

Coaching is one of the driving forces in building a national championship team or program. No matter how much talent a program has, it can’t win a national title if the coaching is questionable.

Considering how important coaches are to teams or even making preseason predictions, Athlon is taking a look at how all 125 college football coaches rank nationally.

College Football's Top Transfers to Watch for 2013 [34]

Former Texas A&M quarterback Jameill Showers is one of the top transfers for 2013.

Transfers are a big part of any college football [20] season, and 2013 is no exception. There’s a handful of talented quarterbacks making the move to a new school, including Jake Heaps at Kansas, Tom Savage at Pittsburgh and Jameill Showers at UTEP.

College Football's Top 20 Coaches on the Hot Seat for 2013 [41]

USC coach Lane Kiffin tops Athlon's top 20 coaches on the hot seat for spring practice.

The start of spring practice for all 125 college football [20] teams is a chance to start fresh and forget the bad results that came along with 2012. For a handful of coaches, spring practice is also the first opportunity to turn around a program and save their job for 2014.

Athlon picks the best names from the 2013 recruiting class.

The first Wednesday in February is essentially Christmas for every college football head coach. After months of hard work on the recruiting trail, coaches will hit the offices bright and early on Wednesday for National Signing Day [53] to welcome a new class full of freshmen and maybe a few junior college transfers to chase a national championship.

Grading College Football's Head Coach Hires for 2013 [54]

College football will have 30 new head coaches for 2013.

College football’s coaching carousel was in full effect this offseason. Thirty programs will have a new head coach in 2013, ranging from Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky and Tennessee in the SEC to FBS newcomer Georgia State in the Sun Belt.

Ranking the Best Quarterback Recruiting Classes of the last 10 Years [63]

Athlon ranks the last 10 classes of quarterback recruits.

Recruiting is reaching a fever pitch as the college football machine churns toward National Signing Day 2013. The first Wednesday in February is the NCAA’s version of Christmas morning for fans and coaches alike. Great coaching is the key to winning, but so are great players. If your team has better athletes, generally speaking, it will win the game more often than not.

That doesn’t mean that every five-star is an All-American or every two-star is a Sun Belt third stringer.

Athlon Sports analyzes where the best high school football players in the nation are coming from

The phrase “SEC Speed” instantly conjures images of glory, victory and pride for one region in the country and thoughts of depression, agony and exasperation for every other part of the nation. But after claiming their seventh national championship in a row, the SEC has a right to claim the best programs, players and coaches.

But why is that?

Grading College Football's First-Year Coaching Hires for 2012 [76]

Ohio State's Urban Meyer ranks as the top new coach from 2012.

With college football’s 2012 season completed, it’s time to take a look back at the season that was and review the performance of all 124 teams before 2013 kicks off.

Twenty-eight coaches made their debut at a new program in 2012 and produced a mix bag of results.
