Eastern Michigan coach Ron English has landed on an undesirable one.

English was named one of the five worst coaches in college football Monday by Sports Illustrated. Columnist Stewart Mandel brought back the annual column, which names the 10 best and five worst coaches in the NCAA Division I ranks, after a six-year hiatus.

English made the revived list after compiling a 10-38 career record in four years at Eastern. The Eagles went 2-10 last season after going 6-6 the previous one. English is entering the final year of his five-year contract.

Illinois’ Tim Beckman, Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, USC’s Lane Kiffin and Kansas’ Charlie Weis are also on the list, which is presented in alphabetical order. Alabama’s Nick Saban was named college football’s best coach while Michigan's Brady Hoke was one of five coaches mentioned as coaches who "could be on the list in three years."
