re: If you are a coach and your only goal is a NC, do you choose LSU, UF, or Texas?

The difficult piece that no one talks about with Texas is the pressure on the head coach. Grew up down the street from Deloss Dodds and know the family well. Built an insane machine and brand there. A select few there have an insane amount of influence and it isn't always good. The expectations are so big that program development is tossed in order to win now at any cost. That formula doesn't pan out in the long run.

A&M has been doing the same stuff and there are plenty who will call for Elko's head the second they have any disappointment.

However, given the political dumbassery in Louisiana and NIL world, I'd say Texas is probaly still the correct answer.

Texas, they have the boosters to make it happen. Their greatest advantage is their achilles heel as well.

Dumb can't fix dumb.

All three you can win it all...all have multiple titles..have great recruiting States, huge fanbases, money, etc. If you can't have a .600+ win record at any of the 3.You are a bad coach.

Yet you are in a thread about texas.

Wrong again, bucko.

I posted in a thread about which of three teams I would choose if my goal was to win a NC and I was making the case against one of the three.

Texas.

Texas has negatives involving boosters, job security and expectations. But they have more money, a better recruiting base and the highest "name brand" of those teams.

Texas is a top 5 job. LSU is top 10. UF is top 15.
