Typical? You just epitomized it skippy.
What's A&M's record against Ohio State again?

Have you been to USC? People think Cali is automatically nice but it's in a rough part of town now. Things change, part of the reason UCLA is so much more desirable now.

You're absolutely correct about the location. Song Girls might make up for it though. 
I'd have to think a top coach could recruit like crazy out of that school.

I had a scholarship to SC, visited the campus and wanted nothing to do with it. I am not a fan of "plastic" cali. You go from the plastics to the hood fast.

Wow, leaving LSU off the facilities list was just a goof. Hard to do all those lists just off of the top of your head. My bad Tigers I'll adjust.

Maybe, but much like the Big 12 and the state of Texas the entire league depends on that talent. Pretty competitive.

So we've circled back to the states with one big time program in the state? Not that I have a problem with that reasoning.

top 10 coaching destinations
Which ones pay the most?
I see it as in tiers. Some you can argue to death. It's pretty interchangeable.
Tier 1: Texas, Alabama, USC, Florida, Ohio State
Tier 2: LSU, Georgia, Michigan, FSU, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma
Tier 3: Oregon, Auburn, Clemson, Arizona State, A&M, Tennessee, Miami

1. Texas- Resources, fans support, not an overly tough conference.
2. Bama- Resources only eclipsed by Texas, fans suport only surpassed by Notre Dame, mayybeee Texas but would be close. SEC is tough but Bama is the next thing to being THE state school without actually being that. Auburn isn't as close in money and fans support as most are lead to believe
3. USC- Super fertile recruiting ground. Great private school donations, no pro football and a relatively weak conference with only Oregon, UCLA and Stanford capable of being great and 2 of those are somewhat stretches because they can't be great perenially.
4. Penn State- Beast of the east for years. Pitt used to be a threat but hasn't been much of one since they no longer play PSU every year. Big 10 schedule is suspect with OSU and Mich being perenially good. MSU and Wisky are good but not every year. Great fan support, football school, great resources. Not far from being the top job.
5. Oklahoma- Great resources, fan support. Like Texas a conference that is winnable every year. Sit in a great recruiting area with Texas right there and it being a border rivalry get great Texans to come over.

If I were a coach and could choose any university, my list would look something like:
1. Alabama
2. USC
3. Ohio St
4. Texas
5. LSU
6. Michigan
7. Georgia
8. Oklahoma
9. Florida State
10. Notre Dame
Florida/ Miami/ Oregon/ Auburn are honorable mentions.
If UF isn't in your Top Ten, you're doing something wrong.
Their performance on the field of late hasn't shown it, but as a talent base and facilities base, UF >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FSU/USC/OSU/LSU/UM/UGA/OU/ND.

Replace Penn State with Ohio State and that's s strong top five. PSU just doesn't belong in that tier.

This will come across as bias, but I don't view the attractiveness Alabama job with the same esteem as their tradition would suggest. Saban has skewed the perception of the position a bit as he is probably the best recruiter of all time and gets an immense amount of talent that likely wouldn't happen to the same degree again.
The job will be better than it was before his arrival, but it doesn't have the advantages of other elite programs. That's not to say it's Nebraska or Miami, but it's not Texas or USC either. It's definitely still a top 10 job, but I would put UF and UGA above it when considering all other factors beyond simply tradition.
