per 247Sports.

#1 is no surprise -- Georgia Bulldogs.

"Limitless resources. A talent pool with massive dividends. Top to bottom synergy throughout the program. No. 1 in this ranking of best jobs is up for debate, but the road to a national championship in the expanded College Football Playoff era will go through Georgia and that's a product of Kirby Smart tossing gasoline on a program that's always been capable of hitting nuclear levels.............Always rated as one of the top college towns in the country, Athens is a beautiful setting to plant roots and reside while winning. Smart's on a great start to perhaps leave a Saban-like mark on a program that's always been successful before hitting this supernova-like heat wave over the last seven years."

Yep, it's Georgia.

The top 5 jobs.............

1. Georgia

2. Texas

3. Ohio State

4. LSU

5. Alabama

The state of Georgia has the 4th most NFL players I believe and 0 in state competition. I’d say it’s arguable but not a terrible opinion saying they’re the #1 job.

Also, how is USC not in the top 10?

With the right coach you can lock down the state of California blue chip recruits. Not to mention the tradition and appeal of having any recruit in the country going to Los Angeles for college.

From the article concerning Alabama at #5:

quote:

Imagine following Elon Musk at Tesla or Tim Cook at Apple.


Ironically, I remember people saying Tim Cook would never be able to do well following Steve Jobs.

But he has...so the article has inadvertently made a point that DeBoer MIGHT do well.

I’ve heard that if you take the Georgia HC job you get stalked by a certain message board poster who starts 36 threads a day.

That’s the top five. I’d just put order different…

1. LSU (Talent galore who all grow up wanting to go to here. Plus, Ed O won a natty. That alone puts you #1.)
2. Bama (by a razor thin margin because of what Saban built. Expectations aren’t for everyone.)
3. Georgia (resources, Kirby, rings, lot of out of state programs to fend off)
4. tOSU (Recruits nationally, easier path, Harbaugh’s gone)
5. UT (Resources, instate talent, plenty of NIL)
