SI

“All of those teams are about to be in your conference, and so if you look at just the conference they compete in, A&M is probably the 7th best job in the SEC,” he said.

That's dumb. There are 2, maybe 3 teams that are better jobs than A&M: Georgia, Bama, and potentially-maybe-if you-think-about-it-really-hard-and-you-don't-like-maroon, LSU.

Okay so:
Bama
LSU
Texas
OU
Georgia
I get it. Florida right now ain’t so hot and Tenner offers nothing.
So I would say 6th.

That guy loves to dog on a&m, Josh Pate is the only one with a brain

Yes. 7th best is an all time high for them.

Well we know it has nothing to do with football history.

Fans are short sighted. The coaches know much better. The only thing A&M lacks is a coach. And our NIL is better than most schools to boot

I would say it’s 9-10. All the below are better jobs in no particular order
Bama
Texas
LSU
OU
TN
Florida
Auburn
UGA

A&M just can't make the right hire. They have everything needed to win at an elite level.

Job = / All Time Program
Between pay, security, expectations, support, NIL, etc. its not hard to argue it as top 5.

Sounds about right to me
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
3. Texas
4. Florida
5. LSU
6. Oklahoma
7. Tennessee/A&M
7. Tennessee/A&M
Don’t see how it’s that controversial

How can it be only top 7 when it pays top money guaranteed and has top 3 NIL $?
Who cares about your competition. If Phoenix Online started a team tomorrow that paid their HC $13 million a year and top 3 NIL money then guess what, that’s officially the best job in the SEC

Good Lord.
OP and posters on this thread sound like a divorcee in a shite apartment complex trying to convince himself that his ex wife living in the house he built is too fat.
Sad.

Best jobs in the SEC, based on the following factors:
Historical program success
Quality of facilities
Wealthy donors/NIL
Location near quality recruits
In-state or nearby competition
1. Texas- they rank highly in every category
2. Georgia- similar to Texas but smaller
3. LSU- the lack of nearby programs competing for recruits makes this a very easy place to win
4. Alabama- their historical success props them up, but sharing a state with Auburn and not having as many wealthy donors does make it harder for an average coach to win compared to the Top 3.
5. Texas A&M- would be much higher except for the lack of historical success.
6. Florida- on paper it should be a great job, but only two coaches have ever found real success there so it doesn’t appear to be as good of a job as one would think.
7. Auburn- would be higher if not for having to share the state with Alabama
8. Oklahoma- would be much higher thanks to their program success, but they are geographically further to a lot of top recruits in the Deep South.
9. Tennessee- Knoxville is not near a lot of quality recruits. Struggles the past 20 years also makes it hard for them.
10. South Carolina- should probably do more than they do considering how much talent is nearby
11. Ole Miss- per capita, the state of Mississippi is highly fertile in recruiting
12. Miss St- same as above but not as much historical success as OM
13. Missouri- it’s cold and overall fan support is lacking
14. Kentucky- ditto but also football is not the top sport
15. Arkansas- tough place to win. Not much instate talent and surrounded by bigger programs all around. Also relatively small population. Just not much to work with.
16. Vanderbilt- obviously

If Aggie makes this a remote job, it will become more attractive.

5 teams have better SEC records since A/M joined (all 5 have a national title since 2008). Plus Oklahoma and Texas. Missouri has won the east twice. Kentucky is competitive and carries the 2nd sport. I’ve got 10th.
