The CFB Elite 40

College Football's Largest Coaching Connection

If you are an FBS or FCS coach and looking for an opportunity to market yourself and get connected with more decision makers on staffing then please listen to the audio below.

If you are a Head Coach, Chief of Staff or head of Football Operations, please listen to the audio info-pod below as we walk you through what you can find on this page.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In creating the largest search engine for college football staffing and coach ratings, we have over 15,000 coaches in our Coach Rating Index (CRI) system. What we have found that, with such limited time each day, making connections between good coaches and decision makers is very difficult. Few have the time and no one previously had the ability to separate the above average performers.  The CFB Elite 40 changes all of that, 

EVERY coach listed below has a grade in the top 40% of all their 13 year peer coach group. Example: Coach Charles Bankins is a top 40% Special Teams coach, not just of active FBS and FCS coaches, but all Teams coaches since 2010. Because we grade each unit, you may see coaches listed several times, ie Christian Taylor is listed twice, as a top 40% OC AND a top 40% QB Coach. 

To get a coach's grade, star rank and contact information, just click on the button next to their name and send us an email request. You can also simply send a message to our text line 971-217-8419.
