I went Harbaugh. From 2-4 and left for dead heading into 2021 and on the hot-seat with his salary cut in half with a 2% chance to make the playoffs according to ESPN's FPI- to winning the B1G and making the playoff. Pretty stunning turnaround. Mel was great, don't get me wrong, but I think Harbaugh earned it this year by winning the B1G and making the playoff.

Well, COTY is usually the coach that most exceeds expectations...

...and nobody expected Harbaugh to beat OSU...

The difference being Harbaugh was also responsible for the expectations being so low

Bielema inherits what should be a 2 win Illini team, knocks off Nebraska right out of the gate, takes down ranked Penn St and Minnesota teams along the way, then wins his rivalry game, and he isn't the no brainer?

Brahm pulled off not just 1, but 2 upsets of top 5 teams.  Overall 6-3, just 1 game worse than Tucker, who he beat.

Poor Kirk Ferentz somehow finds a way to win the West with the 121st ranked offense and does not even warrant a mention.

Lot of great coaching in the B1G this year. Harbs, Brohm, Mel, Kirk, and even Bielema are all worthy candidates. 

Just feel like winning the B1G should matter- especially considering the way Michigan looked last year and the turmoil they were facing in the off-season and the bleak outlook they had in 2021. Most people were picking them to win maybe 8 games and finish 4th in the division. Harbs wound up winning his division, the B1G, and going to the playoff.
