Quick start-ups How fast can Scott Frost turn around the Big Red? Here is a look at some at major programs, though it should be noted that some of these coaches inherited programs with the talent cupboard full. MARK RICHT GEORGIA (NOW AT MIAMI) Won the SEC title in his second season, and followed with another three years later, though he was unable to elevate the Bulldogs into the national title picture. GARY PATTERSON TCU Went 6-6 in his first full season, but followed with seasons of 10-2 and 11-2 and has maintained a steady dose of success in Fort Worth. JAMES FRANKLIN VANDERBILT (NOW AT PENN STATE) Led Vandy to a pair of 9-4 records over his second and third seasons in Nashville, which is no small feat, before leaving for the Big Ten. CHRIS PETERSEN BOISE STATE (NOW AT WASHINGTON) Petersen’s first heading coaching gig was not a Power Five position, but he’s worth throwing on this list. He started 13-0, 10-3, 12-1, 14-0, 12-1, 12-1, 11-2 and 8-4 before landing at Washington. GUS MALZAHN AUBURN After leading Arkansas State to a Sun Belt title in his only year there, Mal- zahn led Auburn to a SEC title and a berth in the national championship game in his debut season with the Tigers. JIMBO FISHER FLORIDA STATE Won 58 games in his first five seasons at Florida State, including the 2013 national championship. CHIP KELLY OREGON (NOW AT UCLA) Pac-12 titles in his first three years as Oregon’s head coach. DAVID SHAW STANFORD Took over a talented roster from Jim Harbaugh and kept the Stanford train rolling, winning two Pac-12 titles in his first three seasons. .
