CFB Coach Match (Pac-12 Part 1): Guess the Favorite Music Artist of Dan Lanning, Jonathan Smith & More
Matt Roembke/Action Network.
We’re nearing the halfway point of Coach Match, and after unveiling four of the five Group of Five conferences, it’s time to move to the Power 5 leagues. First up is the Pac-12.
Before the majority (or all?) of the Pac-12 teams scatter to different leagues next year, they’re together for one more season. Here’s to the Pac-12’s final go-around!
Action Network contacted each of the 133 FBS head coaches and asked the following question: Who is your favorite musical artist or group? Each coach was able to provide only one answer.
Tuesday’s Pac-12 Hint
We start off the Pac-12 with Arizona’s Jedd Fisch, Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham, Cal’s Justin Wilcox, Colorado’s Deion Sanders, Oregon’s Dan Lanning and Oregon State’s Jonathan Smith.
Today’s hint: Of the 133 coaches we reached out to, only one did not provide an answer. This coach had too many artists to list just one and would not answer. Unfortunately, our hint is one coach wouldn’t provide an answer.
Another hint: No coaches today selected the same artist, but Cal’s Justin Wilcox had the same choice as LSU’s Brian Kelly. Maybe that’s not much of a hint since Kelly’s answer hasn’t been revealed yet. Sorry. Like the Pac-12, I’m running out of answers.

Coach Match Instructions
To guess, click the music artist you think matches each coach from left to right. Some coaches might have the same answer, so you can pick the same artist for multiple coaches. When you have selected an artist for each coach, hit submit. A green box means that artist is correct, a yellow box means that artist was selected by another coach and a gray box means no coach picked this artist.
After completion of Coach Match, click the "share on Twitter" button. One individual daily will be randomly selected for some free Action Network gear if (a) you tweeted your response and (b) you are following @ActionNetworkHQ and @Brett_McMurphy on Twitter.
For each day’s Coach Match, I will provide a hint to hopefully make it a little easier to solve. We will post a new Coach Match daily at 9 a.m. ET, so check back every day.
Guess each coach's favorite artist or band!
