One of the most polarizing conversation subjects that take place each off -season is a ranking of the best university football coaches, and how individuals made the position of position during the previous months.
While the main members of the media turn off their lists and their rankings to be directed, fans devour the information and are not discussing who is classified high, and who is far too low. Last week, Greg Mcelroy d’Espn published his list of the 10 main coaches in the country before the 2025 university football season, and fans of the Oregon Ducks I have to feel pretty good about it.

According to Mcelroy, Dan Lanning de l’Oregon ranks as a coach n ° 5 of the country, according to Mcelroy. Lanning is just behind Marcus Freeman of Notre Dameand just ahead of Kalen Deboer of Alabama. Open the way Kirby Smart of Georgiamonitoring Ryan Day of Ohio Stateand tSteve Sarkisian of Exas.
It is not surprising that Smart directs the list because he has won a pair of victories in the national championship in the past five years. Behind him, the first national championship of the day in 2025 with the Buckeyes I have certainly propelled him into the list. You might say that Freeman could deserve a place in Sarkisian, since Notre Dame reached the championship this year, but these two feel like they are in the right level.
Lanning’s place in front of Deboer, Dabo Swinney, Jeff Brohm, Brian Kelly and James Franklin seems appropriate. During his three years at Oregon, Lanning led 35-6 with a Big Ten championship and a seeded n ° 1 during the 2025 university football playoffs.

Of course, if Lanning wants to continue going up the list, he will have to start obtaining victories in the playoff series on his CV, which he does not have at this stage. The 2025 season will offer another opportunity to prove that it is among the best coaches in the game.
