Below are the three coaches I think will have the greatest impact on their teams this season.

June Jones is focused on turning around the Mustangs.


June Jones, SMU: He has to be the top choice simply because of how he turned around a Hawaii team that was 0-12 the year before he arrived. Jones had just two losing seasons in his nine at Hawaii and he won 10 games in each of the last two years. Now, he comes to SMU with a similar challenge. The Mustangs are coming off a 1-11 campaign and have not been a national contender since the 1980s. Jones will bring his run-and-shoot offense to a team that built its fame on the run. There are going to be bumps. Many, many bumps. And it's probably not fair to expect Jones to win eight games like he did in his first season with Hawaii. But the Mustangs do have the talent and the schedule to notch six wins and perhaps make their first bowl appearance since 1984.
