College football second-year coach grades: Alabama's Kalen DeBoer gets 'C+'

A look at the success stories (and failures) from coaches after their second year on the job

Syracuse

Fran Brown

13-12

Brown's second season was derailed by losing quarterback Steve Angeli to an injury early, but dropping from 10 to three wins is a rough look. Positively, Angeli is back, along with a star recruiting class highlighted by five-star receiver Calvin Russell.

B

Also of note:

Indiana

Curt Cignetti

27-2

What is the highest possible rating in the known universe? Give Cignetti that.

A+++

Comparing Fran to Cignettis is simply not far and this board needs to stop it.
Cignetti will go down as a generational coach and has had YEARS of HC experience as well.
Oh he also hit a home run by going to the school with the largest alumni base that was desprite for anything football and are just throwing truckloads of cash at the program.

Fran is doing well with what he has and his experience. One QB injury short of this place not being meltdown city anytime anyone brings up last season

I didn't see that particular post as a comparison, which is why it said, "Also of note."

Clearly, no 2nd year coach should be compared to Cignetti.

It was a general statement to the board and not the poster, that is why I didn't quote the poster.

Exactly and from PACuse next post, he realizes I meant no comparison. It was more just laughing at the comment on Cignetti as A+ really doesn't seem high enough in his case.

If you have 10x the budget good things can happen.

What happens to Indy last year if the QB goes down week 4? They had a great season.

How many lost starts did they get on the Oline? They had a WR get hurt.
