I doubt cash has much nutritional value.

Texas A&M is a top 20 to 25 job at best. The top 5 jobs are Alabama, Ohio State, USC, Georgia, and Clemson in today's college football world. Texas would be up there if they didn't run through coaches every two years.

Arkansas.

Facilities and financial support are top notch.
Lovely area to live.
Only show in the state - everyone supports your team.
Beautiful home stadium with one of the most rowdy fanbases when they have something to cheer for.
Reasonable expectations.

All he did was basically take the preseason top 5 and say these are the best jobs.

Is Alabama really that great if a job? If you’re Nick Saban and its rare to lose more than one game in a season, sure its a great job. Good luck to anyone who loses more than that.

OU will have a big time reality check soon when they are losing 3 games a year. Will it be a great job then?

A&M: they had their 1st taste of being good last year, but how long will their fans be ok with finishing 2-4 in the SEC and paying their coach that much?

Apparently the UGA fans are perfectly fine with being a consistent top 10 team and not winning championships. It may actually be the best place to be a coach.

Burns is FOS. No way A&M is better than UT. The only reason you could claim it in the past was because A&M was in the SEC. Not the case now.

He list Clemson but leaves out UF ? When the SEC get stronger, the rest of CF diminishes. Clemson will be the victim of SEC Expansion.

He list Alabama because everything is aligned. It has nothing to do with alignment and everything to do with Saban. Saban is 70 years old.

He ignores LSU and lists Georgia, but LSU has everything UGA has without the other schools that surround UGA going after in state talent.

How do these guys get these jobs ? I think the secret is to follow the crowd.

#1 is either LSU or Ohio St. Only P5 program in their state that’s loaded with HS talent. Tradition, fan support, facilities, etc.

The 2nd amendment must be a big factor in Pete Burn's formula.
