Date: November 24th, 2017 10:05 PM Author: Rose galvanic piazza depressive What's the criteria for making a job good?
If it's winning National titles, I suspect your pretty off
Couple ways to think about that
Percentage of coaches that have accomplished some benchmark
How often they've accomplished some benchmark
Variability by coach
Either way, if Texas and ND are the two best jobs, they haven't been, at least recently for the coaches that have actually had those jobs

They had loads of top WR/CB recruits before their season started falling apart. The right coach can recruit like a top-15 program and win like a top-ten program at Nebraska.

Date: November 24th, 2017 11:00 PM Author: razzle stage death wish Coaching desirability should be based on pay and ease of winning with the least amount of headaches (insane boosters and expectation).

|
Date: November 24th, 2017 11:16 PM Author: Mahogany Sickened Resort Messiness This is a different criteria, but you make good points. Still, top coaches are going to think they will transcend the BS and they want to be tested against the "best" -- look at Bilema leaving a dominant Wisc program for Arkansas, for example.
The SEC is no longer by far the best conference, but it is still top tier. Especially the west. |

|
Date: November 25th, 2017 9:57 AM Author: aphrodisiac confused office This is correct.
If LSU could seal off the state border and then go out of state each year to find a QB, it would be unstoppable. Gary Patterson has basically made his career by succesfully recruiting northwest Louisiana (especially Monroe). This analysis also applies to a lesser extent to Georgia. The only shortcoming in Louisiana high school football is QB play.
The state of Alabama doesn’t produce enough elite talent to sustain one major program let alone two upper tier programs. The head coach of Alabama and Auburn will always be dependent on Georgia/Mississippi/Louisiana kids to fill out his roster.
U. of Texas faces two major problems: As Texas high school football has shifted to spread attacks, dominant defensive line play has become less important. Second, way too much competition in state and from out of state. Lots of Texas high school teachers/coaches with an affinity for other in state and out of state schools. UT students/alums are more in the mold of coastal elites and they don’t seem to teach/coach in the inner cities/non-DFW/Hou/Austin/San Antonio areas. I used to ref high school sports and lots of high school athletic departments were dominated by non-UT alums. By contrast, in Louisiana and every kid has been indoctrinated to Geaux Tigers and only Geaux Tigers since birth. |
