Every Power 5 College Football Conference's Perfect Coaching Staff

Several powerhouse programs in college football are looking for the best coaching staffs money can buy. From the head coach to the position coaches, they want the finest, and some have shown they're willing to pay top dollar for their services.

But what would the best coaching staff money can buy in college football's Power Five conferences actually look like? That's the goal here.

It's a fun offseason hypothetical—using only coaches currently in a certain conference, come up with the best staff of a head coach, two coordinators and enough position coaches to fill seven slots. These selections were based on overall experience, career records, recruiting prowess and scheme fits.

Here, current head coaches can be slotted into coordinator or position coach roles based on their prior experiences as assistants. Yet there are an elite few position coaches who are good enough to lock down a similar job on these ideal coaching staffs.

Who would make up the perfect coaching staff in your school's Power Five conference? Be the athletic director and give us your own target lists in the comments below.

ACC

Richard Shiro/Associated Press

Florida State HC Jimbo Fisher and Clemson HC Dabo Swinney

Head Coach: Jimbo Fisher (Florida State)

Dabo Swinney might be on top of the ACC right now, but Jimbo Fisher is the one with a national championship ring on his finger. The Florida State head coach has gone 68-14 in six seasons with the Seminoles, winning three straight conference championships from 2012 to 2014 and dropping below 10 wins in only one campaign.

Fisher has brought Florida State back to the national powerhouse it was under Bobby Bowden in the 1990s. As Bowden's successor, Fisher has gone toe-to-toe with plenty of SEC powerhouses on the recruiting trail and won, pumping some of Florida's and the surrounding region's talent into massive NFL draft classes.

The caliber of head coaching in the ACC continues to increase year after year, and newcomers such as Mark Richt at Miami are bringing in high-quality resumes to the conference. But right now, Fisher is still the top pick in the league.

Offensive Coordinator: Larry Fedora (North Carolina)

North Carolina did what some would call unthinkable last season. The Tar Heels averaged more yards per play than the mighty Baylor offense down in the Big 12. At 7.28 yards per snap last season, North Carolina was a waking uptempo nightmare for defenses as it made its run to the ACC Championship Game.

And even though North Carolina offensive coordinator Seth Littrell is now the head coach at North Texas, the offense shouldn't change in 2016 thanks to head coach Larry Fedora. As Andrew Carter of the News & Observer noted, UNC's offensive scheme has been the same through multiple coordinator changes under Fedora, a former OC who brought the style to Chapel Hill from Southern Miss.

Fedora's offense, one that has developed over the last 15 years at multiple coaching stops across the country, is the ideal spread attack for dual-threat quarterbacks and high-level athletes. On the ground and through the air, the offense is hard to slow down.

Defensive Coordinator: Brent Venables (Clemson)

Virginia Tech's Bud Foster might be the most famous defensive name in the ACC, but the last several seasons have belonged to Clemson's Brent Venables. The former Oklahoma defensive coordinator inherited a unit that allowed 70 points to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl and turned it into one of the nation's best defenses.

Clemson finished No. 1 nationally in total defense in the 2014 season, allowing almost 18 fewer yards per game than the No. 2 team on the list. Last year, despite replacing the vast majority of its starters, Clemson still finished in the top 10 as the Tigers made an undefeated run to the ACC title and the national championship game.

Despite losing multiple starters to the NFL—something he'll have to deal with again in 2016—Venables continues to orchestrate elite defenses in Death Valley. That's the true mark of a defensive coordinator who is one of the best in the entire country.

Position Coaches

• QB Coach: David Cutcliffe (Duke)—Louisville's Bobby Petrino could have fit in here, but let's give the nod to the more experienced David Cutcliffe. The Duke head coach was a longtime assistant at Tennessee, where he groomed Peyton Manning before becoming Eli Manning's head coach at Ole Miss. Now he's doing wonders with the Blue Devils.
  
  
• RB Coach: Paul Johnson (Georgia Tech)—Although Paul Johnson was a line coach before becoming an offensive coordinator, there's no denying he knows what it takes to succeed as a running back. For most of his coaching life, Johnson's triple-option offenses have employed large amounts of successful rushers who could do it all on the field.
  
  
• WR Coach: Dabo Swinney (Clemson)—The head coach of the defending ACC champion has to fit in here somewhere. The former Crimson Tide wideout was a receivers coach at Alabama and Clemson before becoming a top coordinator and head coach. His Tigers continue to get outstanding receivers to come to Clemson, and this staff would want him for that recruiting prowess. 
  
  
• OL Coach: Rick Trickett (Florida State)—Rick Trickett has been coaching offensive lines since the late 1970s, and, according to Florida State's website, he's produced more than 35 pro players and all-conference performers in his impressive career. This is one of the easiest "hires."
  
  
• DL Coaches: Dan Brooks and Marion Hobby (Clemson)—Clemson's defensive line continues to stockpile and produce top-level talent such as Vic Beasley, Grady Jarrett, Shaq Lawson and Kevin Dodd. And the coaching of Dan Brooks (tackles) and Marion Hobby (ends) has been behind each one of those excellent defenders.
  
  
• LB Coach: Bud Foster (Virginia Tech)—One of the longest-tenured coaches in all of college football, Bud Foster is already a legendary name at Virginia Tech for his stingy defenses. He's coached linebackers on top of his duties as defensive coordinator for the Hokies every year since 1986. 
  
  
• DB Coach: Gene Chizik (North Carolina)—The former Auburn head coach made a grand return to the college game last season, helping resurrect a North Carolina pass defense that ranked 121st in yards per attempt in 2014 to one that ranked 15th in that category in 2015. Before becoming a respected DC, Chizik was a defensive backs coach at UCF and Auburn.

Big Ten

Carlos Osorio/Associated Press

Ohio State HC Urban Meyer and Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh

Head Coach: Urban Meyer (Ohio State)

The Big Ten is loaded with outstanding coaches—especially in the East division—but Urban Meyer is a cut above right now. He's won 85 percent of his games as a college head coach at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and now Ohio State, winning three national titles and seven conference championships in that span.

Ohio State has been at the forefront of the college football world under Meyer, who is 50-4 (and 31-1 in Big Ten play) through four seasons with the Buckeyes. His staffs consistently land top-five recruiting classes, and Ohio State is becoming a mainstay in the NFL draft picture. In the postseason, he's 3-1 at Ohio State and 10-2 overall. 

Meyer has been a winner everywhere he's been as a head coach, and he's the only name who can seriously challenge Nick Saban to the claim of the best in all of college football. Few coaches can hold a candle to his overall resume.

Offensive Coordinator: Jim Harbaugh (Michigan)

Meyer's biggest coaching rivals have their own individual strengths that make them the perfect coordinators in this dream Big Ten staff. The newest member of the trio, Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh, has plenty of offensive expertise.

The former Michigan quarterback was a first-round pick in the NFL at the position, and he knows how to develop talent under center. He was a quarterbacks coach in the pros before becoming a head coach, where he took former doormat Stanford to new heights in a powerful pro-style offense and led the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl with a read-option scheme.

One would have to wonder how Meyer and Harbaugh would work together in this hypothetical offense. But in an ideal scenario, Harbaugh would make sure the most important position on the field would be playing at its best for an offense that could attack teams in a variety of ways.

Defensive Coordinator: Mark Dantonio (Michigan State)

A former Ohio State defensive coordinator who became one of the most consistent head coaches in the country at Michigan State, Mark Dantonio takes the defensive reins for this all-Big Ten dream team. From 2011 to 2014, the Spartans ranked in the top 10 nationally in total defense while winning 42 games.

Dantonio learned under Saban during his time as Michigan State's defensive backs coach, and he carried that experience back to East Lansing when he took the head coaching job prior to the 2007 season. In the last several seasons, the Spartans have developed a reputation for outstanding play on that side of the ball under the watchful eye of the defensive-minded Dantonio.

Whether it's creating a feared "no-fly zone" in the secondary or demonstrating incredible strength across the front seven, Michigan State has done it all as a defense in Dantonio's tenure. He would be the ideal coordinator candidate in a conference of top coaching names.

Position Coaches

• QB Coach: Kevin Wilson (Indiana)—The mastermind behind the Indiana offense that has led the Big Ten in passing in two of the last three seasons, Kevin Wilson was a former quarterbacks coach at Miami of Ohio and Northwestern before taking on a wide range of positions at Oklahoma. 
  
  
• RB Coach: John Settle (Wisconsin)—Wisconsin football has become synonymous with outstanding running backs, and John Settle has had two stints as the Badgers coach in that position. He's coached Montee Ball, Jonathan Stewart, DeAngelo Williams and James Conner during his time at the college level and the NFL.
  
  
• WR Coach: James Franklin (Penn State)—Before he was a head coach or even an offensive coordinator at Kansas State and Maryland, James Franklin was a wide receivers coach for the Terrapins and the Green Bay Packers. During Franklin's time with PSU, the Nittany Lions have gotten huge numbers from both DaeSean Hamilton and Chris Godwin. 
  
  
• OL Coach: Kirk Ferentz (Iowa)—The veteran head coach of the defending Big Ten West champion deserves a spot on this staff. Let's kick it back to Ferentz's time before taking over the Hawkeyes in 1999, when he developed an impressive number of NFL draft picks as Hayden Fry's offensive line coach at Iowa and later took the same role in the NFL. 
  
  
• DL Coach: Don Brown (Michigan)—Although Don Brown has been a defensive backs and linebackers coach in his lengthy career, the way his lines dominated the point of attack during his time as defensive coordinator at Boston College is enough to consider a late-career role switch. The new Michigan defensive coordinator should have an outstanding front four this year with the Wolverines, too.
  
  
• LB Coach: D.J. Durkin (Maryland)—Ohio State's Luke Fickell could have fit in well here, too, but new Maryland head coach D.J. Durkin did an incredible job in multiple stops as a defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. His excellent recruiting skills are also a huge bonus, making him the ideal Big Ten linebackers coach.
  
  
• DB Coaches: Chris Ash (Rutgers) and Phil Parker (Iowa)—The defensive back responsibilities will go to former Ohio State DC and current Rutgers head coach Chris Ash and Iowa defensive coordinator Phil Parker. Ash helped develop the talented Tyvis Powell and Vonn Bell as the Buckeyes' safeties coach, while Parker coached Thorpe Award winner Desmond King last season for the Hawkeyes.

Big 12

Sue Ogrocki/Associated Press

Baylor HC Art Briles and Oklahoma HC Bob Stoops

Head Coach: Bob Stoops (Oklahoma)

Not only is Bob Stoops the head coach of the defending Big 12 champions, but he is also one of the longest-tenured head coaches in the constantly rotating world of college football. Since taking over as the Sooners head coach in 1999, Stoops has won one national championship and nine Big 12 titles.

Double-digit win seasons are the norm in Norman, as Oklahoma has won at least 10 games in all but four years under Stoops. He's also shown the ability to adapt and respond to disappointing seasons. In every year the Sooners have won fewer than 10 games, they won the Big 12 championship the following campaign.

While Kansas State's head coach and part-wizard Bill Snyder would be an outstanding selection here for the Big 12's head coach, Stoops isn't close to retirement. He should rack up more wins and trophies over the next several years.

Offensive Coordinator: Art Briles (Baylor)

Art Briles' offensive resume speaks for itself. His Bears have led the nation in both yards and points per game in each of the last three seasons, and it was second nationally in yards per game the two seasons before that. 

An early innovator of spread offenses at the Texas high school level, Briles climbed the ranks and later turned around what had been a struggling program at Houston. In 2008, he began his work taking Baylor from one of the worst power-conference teams in college football to one that had a Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback in his fourth season.

Since then, Briles' video game-like offense has lit up plenty of scoreboards and defenses, which has led to three straight 10-win seasons that included a pair of conference titles—the first in Baylor's Big 12 history. The Big 12 is a land of wide-open offense, but none are at the level of Briles' scheme at Baylor.

Defensive Coordinator: Gary Patterson (TCU)

While Baylor has transformed into a powerhouse with incredible offense, Gary Patterson built most of his TCU program on excellent defense. The former Horned Frogs defensive coordinator took over as head coach in 2000, and he's been there ever since, claiming six conference titles and a few national coach of the year awards.

TCU went from WAC school to rising mid-major to BCS bowl winner to full-fledged Big 12 member under Patterson, who engineered his 4-2-5 defensive scheme to perfection. While his Horned Frogs have become more offensive-minded in the last couple of seasons in the Big 12, defense is still his calling card.

Chris B. Brown, then of Grantland, wrote last year that others are looking to Patterson for solutions to high-powered offenses:

"

Since Patterson arrived at TCU, he's found an awful lot of answers to an awful lot of offenses, causing coaches at every level to look to TCU to see how Patterson is trying to solve the riddles posed by today’s schemes. Patterson's distilled defense, fluid pass coverages, and uncanny game planning and play calling are as good as any coach's in football.

"

Position Coaches

• QB Coach: Kliff Kingsbury (Texas Tech)—A former gunslinger for Mike Leach at Texas Tech, Kliff Kingsbury knows what it takes to succeed at quarterback in this neck of the woods. He coached Johnny Manziel to a Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M and has helped produce the next great Texas Tech quarterback in Patrick Mahomes. 
  
  
• RB Coach: Randy Clements (Baylor)—Randy Clements is an offensive line coach at Baylor, but his work with the Bears' run game would make him a perfect fit here on this staff. Last year, Baylor had two 1,000-yard rushers and two more 500-yard backs under Clements.
  
  
• WR Coaches: Mike Gundy (Oklahoma State) and Dana Holgorsen (West Virginia)—Many spread attacks in the Big 12 employ two WR coaches, so let's give a pair of offensive-minded head coaches and former WR coaches the nod here. Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy and WVU's Dana Holgorsen have coached some all-star receivers at their respective schools, from Dez Bryant and Justin Blackmon to Stedman Bailey and Kevin White.
  
  
• OL Coach: Doug Meacham (TCU)—A former offensive lineman at Oklahoma State, Doug Meacham has been more of a quarterbacks and receivers coach in his last several stops. But the TCU co-offensive coordinator knows line play, and he deserves a spot for the offensive renaissance of the last couple of seasons in Fort Worth alongside Sonny Cumbie. 
  
  
• DL Coach: Phil Bennett (Baylor)—Baylor's power in the defensive trenches thanks to players such as Andrew Billings and Shawn Oakman helped guide the Bears to Big 12 title pushes in the last several years. Baylor defensive coordinator Phil Bennett, a defensive end in his playing days, had a lot to do with that underrated strength up front.
  
  
• LB Coach: Charlie Strong (Texas)—Charlie Strong was a, well, strong candidate to be the defensive coordinator on this staff. But the Texas head coach has a spot here coaching linebackers, the position he held under Urban Meyer at Florida before becoming a head coach at a Louisville program that had several elite defenses. 
  
  
• DB Coach: Vance Bedford (Texas)—Strong's tag team partner on the defensive side of the ball, coordinator Vance Bedford, locks down the secondary thanks to his immense experience coaching the positions in the Big Ten, Big 12, SEC and NFL. The former Longhorn defensive back also coached Heisman winner Charles Woodson in the late 1990s.

Pac-12

Steve Dykes/Getty Images

Stanford HC David Shaw and Oregon HC Mark Helfrich

Head Coach: David Shaw (Stanford)

The top of the class in the Pac-12 has to be David Shaw, who is coming off his third conference championship in the last four seasons with the Stanford Cardinal. He took what Jim Harbaugh built at Stanford and made it even greater, as the Cardinal have been to four BCS and New Year's Six bowls in his five seasons with the team.

Through constant turnover of coaches in the conference and on his own staff, Shaw's Stanford teams have been consistent. The Cardinal are going to pound the ball at the defense and open up explosive plays downfield, and their own defense is going to be physically tough across the board.

Even with the doubts that seem to creep up every postseason about Stanford's title chances, Shaw's teams continue to win games and make it to some of the biggest postseason stages in college football. There's no doubt who belongs at the top of this hypothetical staff.

Offensive Coordinator: Rich Rodriguez (Arizona)

An All-Pac-12 offensive coordinator could go a lot of different ways thanks to the wide variety of exciting attacks in the conference. But let's give the job to one of college football's best innovators: Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez. 

After all, Rodriguez invented the zone read, which has arguably become the most influential play of the last decade in college football. As the basis of his offense and plenty of others across the country, the read has kept many defensive coordinators up late at night, and the addition of a deadly downfield passing game makes the offense virtually unstoppable.

Although Rodriguez's Arizona team hit some hard times last season thanks to injuries, his offense still averaged more yards per game than any other year since his arrival in Tucson. Thanks to his offensive balance and explosion over the years, Rodriguez edges several Pac-12 position coaches here.

Defensive Coordinator: Kyle Whittingham (Utah)

Before he became one of the most consistent coaches in the entire country at Utah, Kyle Whittingham was a top-notch defensive coordinator for the Utes. As the head coach, defense has continued to be the name of Whittingham's game, as Utah has been the No. 2 overall defense in the conference for the last two seasons.

"On that side of the ball, the Utes are physical, opportunistic, fast and good enough to hold up against anybody," Chris Low of ESPN.com wrote last year. "Talk to other teams in the Pac-12, and they will tell you how taxing it is to go up against that Utah defense."

Whittingham has carried on the tradition of hard-nosed Utah defense in a conference filled with great offenses. He knows how to slow down a wide variety of attacks, and his longevity makes him an ideal candidate for this position.

Position Coaches

• QB Coach: Mike Leach (Washington State)—Mike Leach has practically written the book on how to win big with a pass-heavy attack and still be efficient through the air. The veteran Air Raid coach has produced plenty of record-breaking passers, from Tim Couch to Graham Harrell to Connor Halliday.
  
  
• RB Coach: Mark Helfrich (Oregon)—Mark Helfrich made a name for himself as a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator before becoming the head coach at Oregon, but he started his coaching career as a running backs coach. Judging by the amount of top-tier rushers he's already had with the hyper-speed Ducks, putting him back in that position wouldn't be a problem at all.
  
  
• WR Coach: Tee Martin (USC)—The new USC offensive coordinator has been the wide receivers coach for the Trojans since 2012, helping produce names such as Marqise Lee, Nelson Agholor and JuJu Smith-Schuster. The fact he's also 247Sports' reigning recruiter of the year is enough to merit a spot on this Pac-12 dream staff.
  
  
• OL Coach: Mike Bloomgren (Stanford)—Offensive line play has become synonymous with Stanford football over the last several years, and Cardinal offensive coordinator Mike Bloomgren has been in charge of preparing and producing top blocking talent on the Farm since the 2011 season.
    
• DL Coach: Pete Kwiatkowski (Washington)—Pete Kwiatkowski was an elite defensive line coach and later the coordinator under Chris Petersen at Boise State, and he's carried over that success from the Broncos to the Huskies in Washington. Last year, Kwiatkowski's swarming defense was ranked No. 1 in the Pac-12 in yards allowed per game.
  
  
• LB Coach: Clancy Pendergast (USC)—Before his return to the USC defensive coordinator position this offseason, Clancy Pendergast was a linebackers coach with the NFL's San Francisco 49ers. His 5-2 defense did wonders the first time around for the Trojans, and he should keep "Linebacker U" operating at full speed in his second stint.
  
  
• DB Coach: Tom Bradley (UCLA)—Veteran defensive coordinator Tom Bradley, who coached a number of positions at Penn State under Joe Paterno, took UCLA's pass defense from 96th nationally in 2014 to 36th last fall—his first in Los Angeles. He has a ton of experience coaching up coverages and has already done impressive work with the Bruins.

SEC

Butch Dill/Associated Press

Ole Miss HC Hugh Freeze and Alabama HC Nick Saban

Head Coach: Nick Saban (Alabama)

This is a no-brainer. Nick Saban has won four national championships in the last seven seasons at Alabama, and he's only lost 12 games since the start of the 2008 campaign—his second with the Crimson Tide.

Saban's success in Tuscaloosa has been built on "The Process," which turned Alabama from a sleeping giant in the mid-2000s to a consistent national championship contender in the nation's toughest conference. It's a methodical focus on individual preparation and improvement for all Crimson Tide players, most of whom have been part of a long streak of No. 1 recruiting classes.

The Alabama head coach is the best in college football right now and will be one of the best of all time once his career is over. This hypothetical SEC coaching staff features several former assistants of his, and it would dominate the recruiting trail as well as the NFL draft boards.

Offensive Coordinator: Hugh Freeze (Ole Miss)

The mind behind offensive overhauls at both Arkansas State and Ole Miss, Hugh Freeze would be the perfect fit to lead an all-SEC spread attack. His Rebels led the SEC in yards per game last season with 517.8, which was more than 50 yards better than the No. 2 offense at Arkansas. Ole Miss also averaged 40 points per game, almost five more than the Razorbacks.

Freeze's no-huddle offense at Ole Miss was the attack that led Saban to famously ask in 2012, "Is this what we want football to be?" Two years later, the Rebels knocked off Alabama at home. A year after that, the Rebels put up 433 yards and 43 points on the eventual national champions in another upset—this time in Tuscaloosa.

Lane Kiffin might be the most talked-about offensive mind in the SEC right now, but the current Ole Miss head coach and former offensive coordinator at several levels of football has a successful system that would fit more in line with the majority of the position coaches on this hypothetical staff.

Defensive Coordinator: John Chavis (Texas A&M)

The SEC is home to some of the biggest coach contracts in the entire country, and no assistant in the game gets paid more than John Chavis at Texas A&M. "The Chief" was hired away from SEC West rival LSU prior to last season, and the Aggies improved from 104th nationally in yards allowed per game to 51st nationally in 2015.

Before arriving at LSU, Chavis won championships and built top-ranked defenses from 1995 to 2008 as part of Phillip Fulmer's Tennessee staff. Chavis then joined the Bayou Bengals ahead of the 2009 season, and he put together five straight top-15 defenses from 2010 to 2014 with the immense talent that LSU always snags in recruiting.

Chavis then jumped to another talent-rich area with Texas A&M, where his salary is now $1.55 million and growing as the Aggies look to become a force in the SEC West. With two decades of experience as a top-notch SEC coordinator, Chavis stands out in a conference with plenty of all-world defensive minds.

Position Coaches

• QB Coach: Dan Mullen (Mississippi State)—Again, Kiffin makes a strong argument to fit here because of what he's done with the quarterbacks in the last two years at Alabama. But Dan Mullen has helped develop Alex Smith, Chris Leak, Tim Tebow and Dak Prescott in 15 years as a quarterbacks coach, offensive coordinator and now a head coach.
  
  
• RB Coach: Tim Horton (Auburn)—Auburn has had a 1,000-yard rusher in each of Horton's three seasons with the program, and he coached Tre Mason to his record-breaking 2013 campaign. Before he was at Auburn, Horton was developing elite running backs such as Darren McFadden and Felix Jones at Arkansas
  
  
• WR Coach: Kevin Sumlin (Texas A&M)—Before becoming a head coach at Houston and later Texas A&M, Kevin Sumlin served as a wide receivers coach at five different FBS programs. Judging by his current crop of all-star receivers in College Station, Sumlin definitely knows how to get top wideouts and produce with them in a spread system.
  
  
• OL Coach: Sam Pittman (Georgia)—Sam Pittman was one of Kirby Smart's biggest hires of the offseason at Georgia, as Pittman had developed a reputation as an incredible offensive line coach during his time at Arkansas. He built the biggest front five in football for the Razorbacks, and he has more than 20 years of experience as a top teacher and ace recruiter. 
  
  
• DL Coach: Ed Orgeron (LSU)—Ed Orgeron has been a defensive line coach at Miami, Syracuse, USC, the New Orleans Saints, Tennessee and now LSU. The former head coach knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level. He's also a legendary recruiter who players and Hummer salesmen love.
  
  
• LB Coaches: Dave Aranda (LSU) and Will Muschamp (South Carolina)—New LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda made a name for himself at Wisconsin for producing outstanding inside linebackers out of underrated names. Will Muschamp has coached top-10 defenses at LSU, Auburn, Texas and Florida, and his defensive expertise landed him another head coaching job this offseason at South Carolina.
  
  
• DB Coaches: Bob Shoop (Tennessee) and Kirby Smart (Georgia)—Let's also split the defensive back responsibilities between one of the SEC's newest star defensive coordinators and its former top dog. Tennessee newcomer Bob Shoop was a coveted defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Vanderbilt and Penn State, while new Georgia head coach Kirby Smart was a defensive backs coach before cementing himself as Saban's right-hand man at title-winning Alabama.
