Best coaching job = making it all come together on the day. Taking a look at the LR Super Polls, the following coaches led their teams to the highest improvement over their "expected" finish:
Steve Plasencia, Minnesota
22nd in Super Poll, finished 16th
Randy Thomas, Boston College
26th in Super Poll, finished 12th
Honorable Mention: How Wetmore continually gets all of these podium finishes is beyond me. Well done.
