Top 5 Football Jobs

[Stevesie60]

At this very second, who are the top 5 football programs? This is kind of a big deal because I can imagine Texas and USC going after the same candidate. Nebraska will probably go after them as well, but have no shot at them. So here's how'd I rank them:

1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. Ohio State
4. USC
5. Florida

I think all 3 universities in Florida could easily make the top 10 because of the recruiting bed and appeal of Florida, but I gave UF the edge because they were in the SEC. Jameis Winston could easily get FSU back into the (my) top 5 by the time he's done there, and Miami will aways be an appealing job, just has had less success as of late plus the stigma of being a school that constantly cheats. What say you, goEMAW'rs?

I'd take out USC and add Michigan

1. Texas
2. Ohio State
3. USC
4. Alabama
5. Oregon

I lowered Alabama because I think its much easier to go undefeated at OSU or USC. Oregon I put there because of resources and its also easier to go undefeated than Florida or Alabama

[Cartierfor3]

To me Michigan, LSU, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Notre Dame would be the other top 10

[Pete]

I would take Oregon out, because they don't have as fertile recruiting ground in-state as the others, and not the profile of Notre Dame.

[Skipper44]

pretty good list,  Bama  is the only one not in a  state with a great  in state recruiting base so I would put them 4th

Iowa State is number 1 if you want a job that you do just kinda ok and never lose fan support or get fired.

[Pete]

1.  Texas (Austin to Dallas Houston both under three hour drive).

2.  Alabama (Tuscaloosa to Atlanta, Jackson, Montgomery, Birmingham all within three hour drive)

3.  Florida (Gainesville to Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, and Tallahassee all within three hour drive)

4.  Ohio State (Cleveland, Cincy, Pittsburgh, Dayton, Toledo, and Indy all within three hour drive)

5.  USC (all of SoCal within 3 hour drive)

You have to make a super emotional speech that goes viral every couple of years or so when you win that one big game.  Need that to keep them buying in.

Don't forget good ole Eugene T. "Gene" Chizik coached there before going to Auburn and winning a MNC.

This thread is starting to get enjoyable.

The title says jobs the post says programs.  I think the list varies slightly on which the OP means. 


I think Alabama is the best program, but Texas is the best job. 

[Stevesie60]

If you guys aren't going to put USC in your top 5 then I can't take you seriously.

[kim carnes]

i think everyone has bama too high

I'm sure you're trolling, but that has crossed my mind. Those fans' expectations for their next coach are going to be way too high.

Have any of you listing Texas #1 actually ever lived out of the Big 12 footprint? We had this discussion last week
