Georgia is the best job in the SEC but can be a nightmare

It's the best job for simple reasons: (1) Population. The best/most big time football athletes in America are not in California, Texas or Florida. Rather they are in Georgia. Every position on the field except QB/OL/TE is dominated by black athletes. And Georgia has the biggest black population of any state in America and has had for a few years. Further Georgia is a football mad state with great high school coaches. So the effective recruiting population is far and away the biggest. (2) No in state competition for players. None. Tech doesn't even recruit most of the players going to UGA. Occasionally you'll have the outlier like the receiver who went to Cal who has academics @ the top of his list and will seriously consider GT but the most serious competition for Georgia comes from out of state. Namely Auburn with the "Garner" effect. Auburn will get on guys early and play ball and they have a standoff with UGA to where neither is going to turn the other in. But Kirby is just as "aggressive" as Auburn so that will likely hurt AU. But 8 out of 10 guys are gonna choose Georgia because the Georgia alums are "united" mister.The guys Saban gets are ones that Georgia for the most part pass on. Kirby brought some guy to UA that MR wouldn't take because of borderline conduct issues. Many of whom got in trouble @ Bama and left or were booted. The biggest threat going forward will likely be Pruitt. He is a pure football coach and a dynamic recruiter and a silent runner. And is not scared of the devil himself. Along with Dabo who is a charming little dickens. The moms fall in love with Dabo. So UGA gets most of whom they want with Auburn an Clemson squabbling over a small piece of the action and Pruitt yet to be heard from. Only problem for Georgia is the Atlanta effect. Lots of players have some issues. Much like some of the kids @ LSU from N.O. That's the potential nightmare.
Further Smart is nothing like Richt. He will do whatever it takes and his work ethic and demands are in line with what the Georgia fans expect. He brought all those hell for leather guys from UA and around so the culture has changed. The matchups with USC (they've got some snakes on that staff too and WM may be a better pure football coach than Kirby) and Pruitt's Vols will be ferocious in a couple or three years. JP is one tough hombre.
Hang on boys the SEC has turned into a ***k, fight or go for your guns situation rather quickly. Jimbo @ Aggie, the potential power @ LSU, AU will play ball and won't give in or give up, the Ding Dong Daddies from Dumas in Tuscaloosa, Mullen @ UF, Vols under Pruitt/Fulmer, USC lurking, even the new guy @ State and of course Kirby. Everybody can't win!

Alabama is the best job in the SEC. Nobody else in conference is even close.

You've already given yourself away.

You used "whom" correctly but managed to frick up everything else. Seems odd.

All of that long post just to get a down vote.

Football wise Alabama is easily the best job in the SEC.
U can make a very, very, very strong argument it's the best in America. I can't think of one that's any better.

Bamas the only blue blood in the conference. There are lots of teams with regional followings but only Bama is mentioned with Notre dame, michigan, Texas, USC, etc and has actually has better tradition than those.
As far as state population or other bullshite goes, this country allows u to move pretty freely from state to state so I don't know why people think that matters.

Georgia is a great job. Good school. Lot of in state talent. Cool city.
However, they've usually been in the second tier of the SEC powers for the better part of a century behind Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn, and more recently Florida. They made a home run hire in Coach Smart, and it will be interesting to see if he can build on the great 2017 season.

1. Alabama
2. Florida
3. Texas A&M
4. UGA (Maybe)
5. LSU (Maybe)
6. Auburn (maybe)
You can argue 4-6, but I think the top 3 are pretty well set. My rankings take into account recruiting resources, money, facilities, AD support, fan support etc and is just my opinion.

Most of this novel is pure fantasy.

Georgia and Florida to me have as many natural advantages as anyone regarding recruiting base and alumni support. Alabama doesn't have quite the same level natural recruiting base, but they are close to great recruiting grounds and are crazier about football than anyone.
Kirby is doing really well recruiting because of a combo of fertile recruiting territory, great recruiting staff... and they are cheating their butts off. I am sure most schools with top 10 classes do some level of skirting the rules. I think Dawg alumni are all in.

I didn't bother reading past "Georgia has the largest black population"
