Matt Campbell Over Mike Gundy in CFB Coaching Rankings? Please.

The Athletic’s Stewart Mandel and Bruce Feldman recently came out with their annual lists of the 25 best coaches in college football, and I took umbrage to one detail both of them included. Both Feldman and Mandel — two great writers and reporters, by the way — had Iowa State’s Matt Campbell ahead of Mike Gundy?

You hate to see it.

I’ll give my thoughts at the bottom, but first here’s a look at what both Feldman and Mandel said about Campbell.

25. Matt Campbell, Iowa State: It was a close call for the last spot between three Big 12 coaches: Campbell, Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy and Kansas State’s Chris Kleiman.
