Ranking the 9 new Power 5 head coach hires this offseason
8. Jeff Lebby, Mississippi State
Lebby has proven his offense can work at every level. From Southeastern to UCF to Ole Miss to Oklahoma, Lebby鈥檚 offenses have produced at a high level, making him one of the most sought-after offensive minds in the game. This landed him at Mississippi State where he will look to fill the great Mike Leach鈥檚 shoes.
While Lebby has a great offensive mind, he is less experienced than other coaches on this list, making him a true boom-or-bust type head coach. It will also be especially difficult for Lebby as his first head coaching job comes in the highly-competitive SEC where coaches must show success fast or risk being out of a job quickly. Though Lebby鈥檚 offense could translate seamlessly into the SEC and he could become the next big thing, due to his lack of experience, it could all come crashing down fast which limits his ranking on this list.聽
