"College football's top 24 jobs" according to ESPN and fellow coaches..

Travis Haney (a former beat writer for SC) and a few fellow coaches ranked the head coaching jobs for the 65 Power 5 schools. These kinds of list are released seemingly every year but I figured maybe ya'll would be interested anyway.
I didn't bother providing a link because the article is for ESPN insiders. If you're an Insider then just go to the NCAAF homepage.
Top 24
1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. USC
4. Ohio State
5. Florida
6. LSU
7. FSU
8. Georgia
9. Oklahoma
10. Notre Dame
11. (tie) A&M
11. (tie) Oregon
13. Auburn
14. Michigan
15. Tennessee
16. Clemson
17. (tie) UCLA
17. (tie) Penn State
19. South Carolina
20. Michigan State
21. Nebraska
22. Arkansas
23. Miami
24. Wisconsin
The rest...
32. Ole Miss
34. (tie) Mississippi State
34. (tie) Missouri
45. Kentucky
59. Vanderbilt (tied with Indiana)
Do you agree or disagree?
Personally, I think this list is strangely accurate.

Notre Dame at 10 and no Michigan or Nebraska makes me know now how much prestige those schools have lost in 15-20 years.

Doesn't seem to be out of line

I think texas was, but their administration and leadership is crap. A&M moving to SEC has taking some of the shine off of them. Fan base is very fair weather, and with all the money they DO have.. their facilities are severely lacking.
USC would be my number 1, followed by Bama, texas, and Florida.

I would drop down Oaklahoma and Notre Damn but overall it's pretty good.
Also Texas isn't 1 right now with the current Big 12, I would give that to Alabama.

Agree for the most part. I might rank South Carolina a little lower. I don't see how Vandy is ahead of anyone either. Vandy is a worse job than Auburn basketball.
Also, Texas is definitely not #1. You couldn't pay these coaches enough money to deal with that shite BOT.

I kinda disagree with Alabama being at #2, only because of crazy expectations that Saban will leave for his successor.
Posted on 2/25/15 at 2:41 pm to DorchesterGamecock
Probably the best of these lists I've seen honestly

I agree and when we jumped ship to the SEC it allowed a lot of other people to see as well.

Not surprised an aggie likes the list considering your ranking on said list is well ahead of your actual results
Posted on 2/25/15 at 2:42 pm to DorchesterGamecock
I would think any job in the south/west is a good job when compared to playing in the north

I think after Saban leaves that Bama won't be as attractive of a job. He's just been too damn good, and the fan base won't accept anything less IMO. Of course they have the recognition and prestige, but I think the coach after Saban is going to really have his hands full trying to meet expectations.

A&M is not the 11th best coaching job in the country

Solid list IMO.
Auburn may be a little low maybe, not sure about Oklahoma being top 10 either. But these lists usually suck much worse

While it will be tough to fill his shoes, they have resources galore. You're kidding yourself.
