re: Tiered rankings of College Football Jobs

Some dumb ones here:

Oklahoma is not a tier 2 job. Only ND and Bama have more national titles. Jesus christ, this is one of the most solid tier ones.

Miami is also not a tier 2, more like a tier 3 on a good day.

If there was a tier 6, the basement of that would be Virginia. They are not anywhere close to tier 3.

UGA for one.

Message board fans don't seem to understand that some hypothetical person looking around the country for a coaching job doesn't GAS how many division titles you've won recnetly or if you lost ot your rival the past few years.

They care about recruiting, money, facilties, prestige, current talent, and enjoyment of living. UGA has all of those. I'm not saying we're BETTER than everyone else because we certainly are NOT, but we are certainly tier 1.

Tier one schools do not lose coaches to other colleges.

And FWIW, we haven't had a head coach leave for another coachign job since the late 20s I believe.

Tier 1
Tennessee

Tier 2
Florida St.

Tenneessee Florida and LSU are not tier 1.

---

We didn't lose a coach to another school.

quote:

Actually Florida isn't elite anymore either. You aren't going to be getting any HOF coaches coming through there any more

---

What schools hire HOF coaches other than sheer luck? Spurrier and Meyer weren't HOF coaches when we hired them, they turned into those guys by winning here. That is what happens at every school.

But we've always had to recruit Nationally, so has Alabama, so has Michigan.

---

In the past kids from other states could actually remember Tennessee wining championships, not so much any more. With Alabama today, they don't need a recruiting budget to recruit nationally, they have championships. Kids know who Nick Saban is - in a good way. And while Tennessee doesn't have the name Michigan does, Michigan still hasn't been able to recruit Louisiana like they used to. Hell, Tennessee doesn't recruit Louisiana like they used to.

LSU was once in that exact same position

---

That's right, so we had to rely more heavily on in-state recruiting. The difference is that LSU can pretty much field a complete team from in-state recruiting - except for the QB spot.

For 2016 Rivals lists Louisiana's top 55 recruits with 17 4/5 stars, but only 25 recruits for Tennessee - 9 4/5 stars.

quote:

or do you try to block 90's LSU from your memories?

---

There's that pissy vols&shite I love. 1988 - 2001 was only 12 years between titles for LSU. Tennessee's looking at 17 now with no relief in sight. I'd put Tennessee in whatever tier Auburn is in.

The frick you didn't. Or is Corch Meyer still in Gainesville?

Did you miss the break between the Florida and Ohio State jobs or are we still operating under the assumption Meyer looked into a crystal ball and knew the job was opening up?

Sugarcoat it all you want, but your filthy, disease ridden shithole of a city drove him away. NOBODY LIKES YOU, nobody would shed a tear if UF was napalmed tomorrow.

Ok. Thank you for clearing that up
