Texas is hands down #1 IMO.

Even with LA's talent and no other school to compete with LSU, they still have to go out of state regionally to fill out their classes.

UT can literally get their entire class from the state, and don't have to try all that hard to pull it off.

I don't understand how Texas is not top 3/5 every year in the rankings with the setup they have.

By the Coach Rankings site:

quote:

Formula takes into account: Conference, BCS National Championships, Conference Championships, Coach Salary, Average Recruiting Rank, Average Football Revenue, Players Drafted, Stadium Size, and Stadium Attendance (% of Capacity). The purpose of this ranking it to have a fair and accurate comparison of all of the FBS jobs compared equally against common factors that typically make jobs more desirable than others. All data is since 2001.


Your opinion:

quote:

flawed opinion ranking is flawed. it includes data since 2001. This over-inflates schools like OSU & USC, while undervaluing teams like Bama & UGA.

You have to look at a job in two ways - 1) past history as in indication of future possibilities, and 2) current situation and how well you are set up for success.

A team that has recruited 4 straight top 5 classes, has more 1st rounders chosen the past 3 years than any other school in the country, plays in the SEC West, pays its coaches (HC & assts) among the best in the country, has 100K+ in the stands, and is playing for its 2nd BCS title in 3 years is a better job today than USC & OSU (who is going to have penalties soon).


Yep. I have a reading comprehension problem. Your agenda is transparent and obvious. It doesn't have Bama where you think Bama is entitled to be.

It has Bama at 6th. That's fine by me. I couldn't care less where some Bleacher Report equivalent site has Bama. It will cause me zero lost sleep. I was simply pointing out the flaws in their system in my opinion. Other people will have different opinions, I'm sure.

I am sure last year when the same site had LSU as the #8 job you disagreed with that. That is an opinion you were entitled to. Just as mine is one I'm entitled to. Again, Bama is playing for its 2nd BCS title in 3 years. 4 years ago they were a qtr away from playing for it. That, to me, is the mark of a great job. I think most agree. You'd rather flame and continue to be short sighted. No biggie. Agree to disagree here.

Your opinion that Florida is set up for future success is questionable. They are at a tipping point and the downward fall could be precipitous, IMHO.

Heard Les name is floating in some NFL circles, I'm sure it would take a lot for an NFL franchise to go after Les and pay him more than he is making but how do LSU fans feel would Les take an NFL gig?


it's been mentioned for a while now, and if he left, good for him i think he likes kids too much to go coach adults though.

I agree but I would have worded it different considering recent stories in the news.

Looking at the bottom teams, 2 coaches in the middle of the 6 figure coaches (including #120) make a lot of money. Why does the SMU coach make 1.7 mil and Navy coach make 1.5 mil?

Lol clueless to the real story but yeah it looked that way

I will say this LSU owes a debt of gratitude to Kirk Herbstreit, he carried out the deed of the leak for the Ohio St BOTs, if not for him who knows who LSU HC would be right now
You're pathetic

Sounds about right except I would put Texas and Florida ahead of LSU. Alabama is an elite job for the right coach, but it does not have the automatic recruiting advantages of a Texas, LSU, or Florida and the pressure to win and competition is immense.

Not a bad list.


Clemson should be higher than #28 and is better than the Ole Miss job at #25.--Its basically an SEC school with easy proximity to fertile recruiting ground and a much easier conference slate of competition

Agreed with Sid that Florida is at a critical potential tipping point. They are very close to becoming the Tennessee post 2003 program.

what makes LSU #1 is that it is in a state w/ a lot of talent w/ no instate competition from significant D-1 programs. the State of Alabama doesn't have as much talent as Louisiana and it has to be divided up between Auburn and Bama. This also includes resources like donors, corporate sponsors, etc.

Who cares? It is an opinion of one person / group and every one has an opinion. A top ten job is a top 10 job at the end of the day anyway.

Whether in that writer's opinion AU is the best job in the country or the 7th best job, makes no difference at all.

LSU may not have the tradition/prestige as some jobs, but it should be the number one job for coaches on the fact that it's the only major institution in the state and it's in the middle of a football talent breeding ground.

Should be every coach's wet dream.
