Coaching in the B1G has drastically improved over the past five years. That’s a pretty tough fact to debate.
It was backed up on Wednesday when four B1G coaches were named to the Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year Award watch list:
Paul Chryst – Wisconsin
Jim Harbaugh – Michigan
Urban Meyer – Ohio State
Mike Riley – Nebraska
Harbaugh, Meyer and Riley all have their teams sitting at 6-0 midway through the season while Wisconsin sits at 4-2 after losing to Michigan and Ohio State by a touchdown in each game. All four teams are ranked in the top 10.
