WKU's Rick Stansbury tied for 3rd best hire with TCU's Jamie Dixon (18 votes). UAB's Rob Ehsan was the 9th best hire with 2 votes. There were 14 new hires on this list. Of note, former UAB coach Jerod Haas (Stanford) received one vote. At least 110 coaches were polled.

Excerpt:

Quote:"Stansbury. Not close."

"In terms of sheer impact on the program, Stansbury to WKU will prove to be the most impactful. Not saying he's a good coach, but instantly makes WKU truly relevant, and a league favorite. Not sure the others can say that."

"Stansbury will out-recruit his whole league and win big. That's not the hire that got the most attention, but it's the one that's going to change a program the most."

"Stansbury is already landing five-star prospects at Western Kentucky, so that speaks for itself. A couple of coaches I spoke with said he'll be running Conference USA by 2018. Some think that's already happening, in fact."
