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

I'm not sure they can count on being able to protect their giant state as well as other schools are able to protect their smaller states

You sure being the biggest of 5 power schools in Texas plus a ton of schools from states trying to raid you is better than being the only power 5 school in a state like Louisiana or Ohio?

If it is, they haven't shown it on the field

It is all relative to their competition. Their recruiting wouldn't cut it in the SEC West, but should enable them to dominate the Big Ten West. And if they start winning big, their recruiting would really pick up. 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. Can't say that at many other schools.

there was a time long ago when minnesota was a top program and ohio state an afterthought. times change. wisconsin had a long period as a doormat when nebraska was a top program. problem is: how many years can nebraska be moribund before it loses any recruiting advantage it may have in the big ten west. i think wisconsin is the new nebraska and nebraska may be on the road to permanent iowa or, may e, minnesota status.

Nebraska's five year recruiting average is 22nd in the country - the next closest team in their division is nearly 40th. The right coach should dominate the Big Ten West at Nebraska. They have one of the biggest advantages versus their division rivals in the P5. It is still an elite job because of the division they are in.

Nebraska lost in overtime at Wisconsin last year and on a last second field goal the year before that. Nebraska was ranked in the top-ten for a month last year. The gap isn't as big as you think. Nebraska has a young team, a lot of injuries and an all new defensive scheme that didn't suit their personnel. Plus a shitty new QB.

Notre Dame way too high. Don't they have academic standards such that they can't just take any moron who is good at football. No obvious prime recruiting ground for them to own.

I think Bama is overrated because of the Saban factor. That job doesn't have the same advantages as UT, UF, USC/UCLA, etc.

ND still manages to recruit well. Ton of NFL talent in recent years. Largely for the same reason it’s an appealing coaching job... If you’re any good at all, you play every game on network prime time and get the hype train rolling down hill quick. Even without a CCG, you are guaranteed a playoff spot if undefeated and have a decent shot with 1 loss. You’ll never be overlooked there.

Bama has shown a willingness to do whatever it has to do to keep their football program at the top, plus it has a good recruiting area. The sheer dominance since Saban has been there only comes from a combination of outstanding recruiters, coaches and a very supportive school.

Oregon rode the Nike wave for all it's worth. I think they peaked. The equipment tech isn't turning heads anymore. They had everything going for them when it was Nike and the new stuff plus the most innovative coach in the sport. Now they're just a program with no recruiting base that has waning appeal.

That's why they were nearly ranked. They are in a recruiting wasteland. Without Nike support they wouldn't sniff the top-50.

Please stop. This isn't credible. They have a very nice class coming in, but I question how long it lasts. You cannot compare Oregon to anywhere in the south or southeast in terms of recruiting. There are several strong schools in CA. UW is better than Oregon currently.

Perhaps the easiest recruiting in the country and you don't have to compete in the SEC. Lots of coaches could win big there.

ACC isn't a cupcake, Miami and UCF (and even South Florida) are on the rise. It's an outstanding job, but I can't move it up much more. Where do you rank it? Who moves down?

Coaching desirability should be based on pay and ease of winning with the least amount of headaches (insane boosters and expectation). Under this criteria, I think FSU, Ohio State, and USC are the top three jobs. Would hate to deal with SEC boosters and having to beat Saban. ND has too many limitations and a crazy schedule every year. UT has insane boosters and expectations.

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.

In a vacuum, LSU would be the best. Louisiana has the most five stars per capita,a lot of kids want to stay nearby, and its right next to East Texas. Recent and distant history show that its more complicated than that, but Miles always had sick talent at least. Crazy and unreasonable fan base though.

The unreasonably fan base is true of most of these schools. LSU probably not one of the worst on that metric -- they have Coach O, after all.

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.

Cr. I also think that the Mississippi schools are underrated for the same reason. Lots of blacks.

You guys are looking at this wrong - ease of recruiting, realistic expectations, resources and pay should be the considerations

Schools like Virginia Tech (recruiting monopoly in VA), Stanford (chill fanbase, endowed athletic department), Alabama (tons of talent across SE, now the richest football program, it should do well post Saban) rank high here. ND, TX, USC, UCLA, etc are all wrong because they face too much competition and the fans are ridiculous

This definitely seems to be true. I struggled to rank them. That they got Harbaugh, however, is big -- even if he has history there. That's a bigtime hire.

I feel like of late, coaches are focusing much more on jobs where recruiting doesn't require tons of travel and talent is local. At the same time, you're not seeing as much leaving a power 5 job to take a better power 5 job.
