WATCH: BTN crew discusses which second-year coach will make biggest jump

Three B1G coaches are entering their second year in the conference, as Jeff Brohm (Purdue), P.J. Fleck (Minnesota) and Tom Allen (Indiana) all were newcomers to the league a season ago.

A lot of times, that second year can serve as the biggest step a program makes. So now that all three of those coaches have their feet wet, which one will experience the most success in 2018?

The BTN panel debated about the three coaches and the decision was split. Glen Mason and Howard Griffith thought Jeff Brohm would enjoy the most success while Dave Revsine and Gerry DiNardo argued for P.J. Fleck and the Gophers.

Here’s what the four-person panel had to say about all three head coaches:
