Ranking all 14 Big 12 coaches entering 2023 season

7. Gus Malzahn, UCF
Malzahn led the Auburn Tigers to the 2013 BCS national championship in his first year as head coach, but he only recorded one more double-digit win season (2014) and was eventually fired in 2020. He found a home with the Knights and has led them to back-to-back nine-win seasons, which may lead some to believe they could create havoc in the Big 12.
