Some head coaches look like teachers, while others you wouldn’t want to get into a ring with. Here are the top five to avoid in the ring:
1. Dave Doeren, NC State
Doeren has that energy about him and any Power Four head coach who talks smack can obviously back it up. I think he’d stomp some heads in a battle.
2. Kyle Whittingham, Utah
He’s older than some on this list but he has a Wolverine vibe to me. While the talons likely don’t shoot from his hands, I think he can shoot hands without them. He looks like he can be that 64-year old who can kick your ass and embarrass you.

3. Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame
I covered Freeman in high school when he was an elite linebacker and the dude was strong. And he hasn’t lost a thing physically as it looks like he could go 12 rounds in a boxing ring.
4. Brent Venables, Oklahoma
Venables isn’t big and he’s kinda of stringy but he has the most energy of any coach I’ve ever stood next to. He’s a psycho and a ball of fuel who would probably overwhelm with a whirling dervish kind of approach.

5. Steve Sarkisian, Texas
Ever see that video where Sark yells at the security guard? The man has been through a ton and likely still has demons. You don’t want them unleashed on you.
