Roughly half the 127 FBS coaches -- 47.2 percent -- are under the age of 50. Among the Power 5 conferences, 43.1 percent (28 of 65 coaches) are in their 30s and 40s.

8. Butch Jones, Tennessee (47)
Bottom line: The next two or three years will define Jones time at Tennessee and where he stands among those on this list. He has hit every correct button since arriving at a proud program that was ailing and starving for something positive. The talent level has increased exponentially in the past two years. The players are either on campus or on the way. Its time to see if Jones and his staff can follow through and again put the Volunteers back on the college football map. Theyre not there yet, but theyre trending in the right direction. Jones relentless positivity, which has led to meaningful headway in recruiting and fundraising, is the biggest reason thats happening.
