247Sports includes 3 B1G combos on its Top 10 list of best football, basketball coaching duos in 2021
Published:
The B1G is home to some of the best coaches in both football and men’s basketball. Some schools have it better than others.
Recently, 247Sports released its Top 10 list of the best football and basketball coaching duos in college athletics for the upcoming 2021 season. Three B1G programs made the cut on this elite countdown.
Ohio State’s combination of Ryan Day and Chris Holtmann was the best duo out of the B1G, coming in at No. 2 on the list. The only school it was behind? Alabama. The Crimson Tide have an elite combination of Nick Saban and Nate Oats, which has proven to be a strong duo already.
The other two B1G programs on that list are Iowa — Kirk Ferentz and Fran McCaffery — and Wisconsin — Paul Chryst and Greg Gard. The Hawkeyes came in at No. 5 on that list and the Badgers were one spot back at No. 6.
That’s a pretty good list to be on, and it’s hard to argue against any of the selections. You could probably even make a case that another B1G team or two could be on this list.
