There are four active coaches in the FBS who can realistically be viewed as can't-miss:
Urban Meyer and Nick Saban are the first two. You hire them, you're winning. Period. Period. Period.
Jimbo Fisher has inserted himself into this list. Many of us in the pundit class had our doubts entering the 2013 season, but not now. It's just about impossible to doubt that Fisher will make your program a juggernaut in due time.
Jim Harbaugh is the fourth coach. He turned Stanford from feeble basement dweller to BCS bowl champion and national contender. He became the first NFL head coach in the 45-year AFC-NFC era (which began in 1970 after the AFL-NFL merger) to make a conference championship game in each of his first three seasons.
If there are four super-duper-stars who actively coach FBS college football, Harbaugh's one of them. Merry Christmas, Michigan.Tweet(14)
