What jobs are perceived to be awesome, but suck, for whatever reason? Too high of expectations, no recruiting base, etc. Put your list here and then we'll have a discussion to see who's list is the best one.

Mine:
1. Nebraska
2. Virginia Tech (when it opens it will seem like a great job, but not really)
3. Tennessee
4. Florida St
5. Texas A&M

I agree with most of the schools listed on here, but any most overrated list without Mizzou is incomplete.

theKSU · « **Reply #7 on:** September 18, 2013, 03:29:04 PM »

Almost went with Mizzou, but went with Georgia because they underachieve so incredibly.

Nebraska job doesn't seem so overrated to me.

You can be a huge bad person that it just mostly OK at your job, and tell the fans the eff off, and the fans and the administration both show you more support than they did before you told them to eff off.

Sounds like a good gig.

I think Georgia is a GREAT job; they've just underachieved in filling it, though Richt seemed like a good hire at the time and he's had his share of success. Saban would do at UGA exactly what he is doing at Bama.

At Georgia underachieving is relative to the conference they're in.

No one has underachieved on the level that MU has, not even close.

eh, a little unfair. Mizzou's football stadium is considerably bigger than Illinois' and is the only program in the state. Illinois has 3 FBS programs in the state (two of which combined for 20+ wins last year). Also, Illinois went to a BCS bowl in 2007.

Missouri should have went to a BCS bowl in 2007.

I think all mine are based on expectations and/or bullshit you would have to put up with.

Mizzou blows, we all see that, but is there a perception by some that its a good gig? I don't think its an overrated job, because I don't think anyone actually believes its that good to begin with
