10. Kirby Smart — Georgia

Liberty Bowl win

Kirby Smart returned to his alma mater last season to take over for Mark Richt.

Smart had a rocky first season, but he was able to deliver an eight win season and Liberty Bowl win.

The former Alabama defensive coordinator should continue on the tradition of leading Georgia teams that are tough year in and year out. In fact, the Bulldogs were recently picked to win the SEC East.

Smart is higher on this list than Orgeron simply because Orgeron has never won eight games in a season.
