10 College Football Coaches on the Rise...
according to FoxSports.com. The MWC did fairly well with 2 making their list...
#1. Bronco Mendenhall- There's a chance Mendenhall might stick around Provo and not be off elsewhere. After all, he's a true believer in the BYU program. But if he keeps up what he's been doing over the past few years, he might get an offer he can't refuse. Mendenhall was all about restoring pride to the program, and he's done that and then some, going 28-10 with two straight 11-2, Mountain West-title seasons. Mendenhall's a former Oregon State defensive back, so would taking over for Mike Riley be a big enough move coming from BYU? Probably not, but for a coach who's fantastic at respecting traditions and making one-time powerhouses great again, he might be a natural for a name Pac-10 program like ... The Next Logical Step: Washington head football coach
#7. Troy Calhoun- Remember when Air Force was just an also-ran of a football program? After going stale under Fisher DeBerry, it seemed like the time had come and gone when the Falcons could run their quirky offense and scare the heck out of everyone. Recruiting limitations appeared to have caught up to the program, as DeBerry pointed out so tastelessly. Then came Calhoun and his breakthrough 9-4 season. With his NFL background, Calhoun's meteoric rise isn't going to end in Colorado Springs. An Air Force graduate, he'll be sure to stick around for a few more seasons, but you don't rise as quickly as he did without planning for something big coming just around the corner. He won't leave for an assistant NFL job at this point, and with a few more good seasons, he'll have his choice of decent BCS jobs. The Next Logical Step: A mid-level ACC program, like Virginia
