5 Most Annoying Coaches in College Football

Some college football programs are saddled with a coach only they can love. Be it through constant winning, an arrogance with regards to how they deal with the media, their place on the college football landscape, or overseeing a program constantly being popped with NCAA violations, these five coaches will draw the ire of almost everyone outside of their city.

5. Brian Kelly

A man that Paul Finebaum once called "a miserable human being", Brian Kelly's interviews always make him seem like someone who is never willing to take blame after a loss and is always bothered by media members having the gall to criticize him. Being the head coach at Notre Dame, where the entire program is still living in the 40s and has an inflated sense of their place in the order of things, doesn't help matters much.

4. Nick Saban

This is what winning championships every other year will do to you. Saban is only fourth on this list due to his inarguable place in the pantheon of the greatest coaches in the history of college football. However, there isn't anyone outside of Tuscaloosa who can't stand him vacuuming up the region's best players and constantly ending their team's promising season by handing them a 38-10 beatdown. Saban is 67, however, so there should only be a few more years of this.

3. Jimbo Fisher

Fisher might have won 29 straight games and a National Championship earlier in the decade, but trouble at Florida State has followed him to College Station. The Texas A&M head man will blindly defend his players' controversial actions, and steals top recruits away from other top programs despite only picking up 14 wins in two years. The hate for Fisher was amplified with his $75 million golden parachute at Texas A&M at the first sign of trouble in Tallahassee.

2. Lane Kiffin

UCF has lost one game in the last two years, with that loss coming against LSU with a backup quarterback, but the non-Power 5 team you hear the most noise around is Kiffin's Florida Atlantic. A two-year stint at Alabama and a USC run in which Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush carried him has led Kiffin to think of himself as some sort of offensive genius and program savior. However, he failed in the pros with the Oakland Raiders and in college at Tennessee and USC. With a 16-10 record at FAU, Kiffin may not be the genius he believes he is.

1. Jim Harbaugh

Harbaugh was supposed to make Michigan title contenders again. Instead, he's failed to beat Ohio State, has been embarrassed in bowl games, and has wasted the talents of NFL players with three and four-loss seasons. The problem with Harbaugh, however, is that he's kept up this tough football coach bravado and Stanford-esque "smartest guy in the room" persona despite the fact that his archaic offense isn't translating into Ws at the college level. I'm sure when he goes 10-4 next year, he'll find some way to blame someone other than himself.
