If we're defining "best" as the program that provides the clearest path to a national championship if you could plug an elite coach into that program, I'd rank as follows:
1. Texas
2. Georgia
3. Alabama
4. Texas A&M
5. Florida
6. LSU
7. Oklahoma
8. Tennessee
9. Auburn
10. Ole Miss
11. South Carolina
12. Missouri
13. Arkansas
14. Kentucky
15. Vanderbilt
16. Mississippi State
I don't hate your list, but you are definitely overrating the Florida job. I'd drop them below LSU and Oklahoma.

My best guess: 1. Texas
3 different Head Coaches and 15+ years without even a title appearance to show for it.
4 losing seasons since Mack Brown was pushed out of Austin.
We’re ranking best head coaching jobs… not the jobs with the most resources and fewest results.

Probably the one with lowest expectations. Make millions with a mediocre product.

That might affect UT's donor relationship, but I'm not so sure that's true. They always have the Vol Caravan that comes to Memphis and with the primary medical school being in Memphis, they have a solid anchor here for support. Lots of docs in Memphis are big supporters. But Memphis also has a large Ole Miss alumni base. I see as many if not more Ole Miss alumni.
I grew up in Memphis, and yeah it's a melting pot of different fan bases. I'd tend to agree that there are more Ole Miss people in Memphis than Tennessee. It's only an hour away, so it makes sense. But there are also plenty of Vol fans as well. There are also a ton of Arkansas fans, State fans, Alabama fans, and Tiger High fans in Memphis. You'd be hard pressed to say Memphis is a majority of any single fan base. It also doesn't produce a ton of football talent either relative to how big a city it is, so I don't think that's ever been an issue for Tennessee.
But as has also been mentioned, Knoxville is well positioned to a ton of football talent hubs in the region. They're a short drive away from Atlanta, Birmingham, southern Ohio, the Carolinas, etc.

Ranking SEC head coaching jobs isnt that complicated unless you make it complicated. Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Texas are the top tear. After that you can move allot of them around but acting like there isnt a higharchy is just dumb. Some jobs are higher because thats how rankings work.
And before Tennessee fans start hyphenating take a breath. Tennessee is a grate job, probably a top-six job depending on the day. But some of you rank jobs based on crowd noise and how many people fit in the stadium which is pretty surface level. Money, recruiting, facilities, administration, parking, all that stuff matters. Vanderbilt is obviously last but somebody has to bring up the rear.
After about 8 the whole list gets pretty rank anyway and people start arguing over scraps. Put the top tear where it belongs, throw the middle in whatever order looks right and quit acting like Missouri being 10 instead of 8 is some unpresidented attack on the program. This isnt the electoral college and nobody is getting more votes because they live in a swing state.
