Here are some of the highlights:

4 SEC teams in the Top 10

the Top 10 can largely be argued in many different orders.

The definition of "destination job" has been change by fiat of Athlon to mean "top 30 or so job"

Very interesting.

Correction: It appears I was wrong about the changing of the definition of Destination Job. It appears that they specifically rebutted that to say a top 30 job is not necessarily a Destination Job.

The fact that Alabama is not #1 is laughable.

Two more 10-win seasons in a row and a renovation of Kyle puts us in the top 10.

The top 3 should be UGA, LSU, and Ohio St.

28. Arkansas



Fat arse took a downgrade..

Final Verdict: Arkansas is quite similar to several of the non-elite coaching positions in the SEC. It’s a good job, but it’s not a destination job for a coach with national title aspirations.

I have a hard time believing Washington is a better job than Arkansas. Having spent time at both universities, Arkansas is much more serious about everything having to do with football. The gridiron is less important than espresso to those people. UW is a pretty place to play in a so-so conference with little pressure.

OU is WAY to high. That job isn't what it used to be and it is going to be a really tough job to replace Stoops when he leaves. Still a very good job but not a Top 10 job anymore.

A&M clearly should be ahead of Bama, after all we hired away Fran!

In all seriousness though I think A&M is likely a Top 5 job long term. Just too many resources available not to be.

So what your saying is spots #27 through #1 are destination jobs.

Understandable

Ohio State should be 1C ... it's always thrown behind Florida & Texas on these lists. I can argue that it is a better job than those... at least equal.

I don't think OSU is high enough. They will face someone in the SECin the natty next year. Meyer is going to have that program humming.

Cons: LSU has so much going for it, but why have so many coaches failed to win at a high level in Baton Rouge? From 1971 though 2000, the Tigers only won one outright SEC championship, in 1986 under Bill Arnsparger.


According to rantards, recruits and wins just fall off the trees here, doesn't matter who the HC is.

Georgia and LSU are ranked too low. Both of those jobs are clearly better and more desirable than Oklahoma and Michigan. They have a lot more in-state talent to work with.
