USC? Expand your thoughts on that one

I've been to two games at USC.  One when they played K-State and one against ASU.  USC's campus/stadium is located in a shithole of an area.  We parked our car next to a washing machine sitting an an alley.  I did not feel comfortable walking half a mile in the daylight to the stadium.  The fans are the worst, they only show up if they're winning championships otherwise the stadium is half empty.  You also have to deal with the recent sanctions against USC.  No more rough ridin' up there or bending the rules.  Finally consider, you're living in LA, which in itself is a great city (much like Dallas) but your 3 million dollar salary goes about half as far as it would in any SEC, Big 12, and most ACC and Big 10 cities.

Overrated.

They probably give the coach his (or her!) own parking spot, if he has to drive there at all.

The most overrated job in America is Nebraska, and it's not even close.  Fight among yourselves about 2-whatever, but Nebraska stands alone at the top.

Agreed. I would probably put Oregon at number 2 based on how many people tried to put then in their top 5 in that other thread.

Also, if you pick Notre Dame, you're a complete dumbass.

You think Notre Dame shouldn't be on this list?  They don't have a local recruiting base, they have a significant portion of the fan base that wants to do it the right way and they really have nothing to play once they have 2 losses.  On top of that, it is located in very rednecky part of the country.

But when USC and Miami are good they have as high a ceiling as any job.  I mean, Will Ferrel on the sideline in the Coliseum and Uncle Luke in Landshark or whatever it is.

There is actually a very large population for them to draw from . Their biggest problem (by far) is their dogshit city.

Also, not sure if you knew this, but they have their own exclusive contract to broadcast all of their games on over-the-air national television. ALL OF THEM. So you have a few people that think they should win the right way, but it is easily outweighed by the massive exposure they receive.

This kind of a reaction makes me side with Lucas that Clemson is probably pretty overrated.

How? In the south (recruiting base), great fan base, easy conference.

Rivals in the SEC, other powerhouse programs in a conference that should be very tough, but has just been down for about 10 years now, recruiting against an SEC school in your state, . . .

It's a great job. Nebraska is a great job. This is a thread for jobs that just aren't quite as great as people think.

Clemson is extremely far from being in the top 5 overrated, unlike Nebraska

Well, Clemson consistently doesn't live up to expectations, so the the players must not be that good and therefore the recruiting base isn't that good. Also, you are more likely to sprain an ankle running down that hill than winning a national title with that school.

excluding the california schools, clemson is a great job

Getting too much love from media/poll makers is absolutely a good thing you weirdo
