Alabama is there as well, but yeah that's about right.Top 5 coaching jobs in order:
Ohio State
USC
Michigan
Texas
ND
Nobody else is even close. After that you get your LSUs, your Georgias and your Floridas.
The Florida schools are an interesting case, they were shit until the 70-80's, but they have maintained solid success for the past 40 years, and have built up a good brand, plus Florida is the best recruiting state.When Arkansas has more wins than Florida, are we sure Florida is a top 10 historical program, or just a slightly older Boise State?

Hell since 1990 FL has gained 7-8 million people. That's more than the whole state population of LSUville.
I'm gonna need you to walk your homerism back a bit. Michigan is not a top 5 program. Sorry. I am not a Bama fan, but they are a much better program than Michigan.Alabama is there as well, but yeah that's about right.
I'd put the order
1-USC
2-Texas
3-Ohio State
4-Michigan
5-Alabama
6-Notre Dame

I don't understand the support for getting Jimbo Fisher. He's got the Winston rape baggage and Florida State might just get surpassed by Louisville and Clemson. Sounds like a big gamble with a low chance of surpassing Saban.
A little sad to hear Miles on the radio right now.
Hopefully, LSU crash and burns, taking the reputation of their new HC with them.
You're insane.I'm gonna need you to walk your homerism back a bit. Michigan is not a top 5 program. Sorry. I am not a Bama fan, but they are a much better program than Michigan.
ESPN's Prestige Rankings are a numerical method of ranking the best FBS college football programs since the 1936 season. Point values were assigned for certain successes (win a national title, earn 25 points) and failures (get your program banned from the postseason, lose two points). They ran all the numbers through the computer to come up with the No. 1 program (and Nos. 2-119) of the past 73 seasons.
Here are the results:
1. Oklahoma: 1,986
2. USC: 1,897
3. Ohio State: 1,655
4. Notre Dame: 1,579
5. Nebraska: 1,553
6. Alabama: 1,534
7. Texas: 1,494
8. Michigan: 1,332
9. Florida State: 1,110
10. Miami: 1,109

The fact that FSU is on that list is insane. Our program is effectively 40 years old. Same with Miami.
But you have won championships later in the time period, when it was harder to win one as more schools are more competitive.
I already stated this but here it goes again:I'm gonna need you to walk your homerism back a bit. Michigan is not a top 5 program. Sorry. I am not a Bama fan, but they are a much better program than Michigan.
What?ND isn't a top 10 job any more. I'd put like 6 SEC schools over them.

Any chance a conference has two playoff teams? I think the big 12 gets left out. I think Houston drops two... And maybe, Stanford loses a wtf game. What yah guys think?
Disgusting ^ rooting for wisconsin now
We've already established Florida is a stepping stone school.

I think the two head coaches in 3 years narrative is over blown. Sarkisian wasn't fired because the team sucked, he was fired because he has a disease that he wasn't willing to get help for it. If that hadn't been the case he would still be coaching.
Despite all the coaching issues USC has still out recruited the rest of the conference. They have new on field facilities and the coliseum is getting upgrades thanks to the Rams.
It's the proverbial sleeping giant. Yes the expectations are high, but the resources are better than any other job in the market.
I already stated this but here it goes again:
Important pillars that Michigan leads the country in:
Athletic Department revenue
Attendance
Wins and winning percentage
Pillars that Michigan has a top 5 ranking in
Fan base size
Recruiting classes
National recognition(one the largest national brands)
There is a reason Michigan was able to lure the most sought after coach in history away from NFL teams offering way more money
What?
Why so angry, Andy?You're right, he burned bridges with the 49ers by being an asshole.
Cherry picked stats that go back to the 1800's when putting together a top 5. I'm sure 18 year olds do a lot of side by side comparisons with that in mind.

Per Neuheisel, Saban to LSU a possibility.
Now that I would put money onApparently Feldman is saying Fedora is an option for LSU, which would mean Miles could take the UNC job and coach his kid.
Kill me.
Now that I would put money on
Not really angry, just frustrated with the level of posts we've had since being in OT. I like getting our numbers back up some but yeah..Why so angry, Andy?

First, I'm talking about the Raiders and Bears who tried very hard to get him when he left SF, and ask any 49ers fan if they'd rather have Harbaugh back. I can bring up the old articles from pundits how there was no way Harbaugh leaves the NFL, because a successful NFL coach has never gone back to college.You're right, he burned bridges with the 49ers by being an asshole.

Exactly, it is by far the richest apparel contract, at the time it was signed.If you don't think Michigan is important look at that Nike contract it got.

Oh Jesus.. That is adorable.
Almost to the point where I wouldn't mind Jimbo going to LSU.
Almost.
This is hilariousMARK RICHT HAS LOST CONTROL OF THE PRESDENTIAL DEBATE
I'm happy to see Fedora on that list. What needs to happen to move him up?
Michigan is definitely a top 10 job.
Even when Michigan was shit they still had pretty good recruiting classes.
USC is the best job in CFB, Texas is the 2nd best.I would agree. In no particular order, I would rank the top 10 coaching jobs as such:
Alabama
Florida
Florida State
Michigan
Ohio State
Oklahoma
Texas
USC
Notre Dame
LSU
Of those, LSU and USC are en vogue despite a)LSU's upcoming potential dumpster fire, a la Tennessee and USC combined unless they make a home run hire, and b)USC's total irrelevance since Carroll left.
You could swap out those two for any of the following: Miami, Georgia, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Auburn, Michigan State, Texas A&M, Stanford, and UCLA. All for different reasons.
When Arkansas has more wins than Florida, are we sure Florida is a top 10 historical program, or just a slightly older Boise State?
I would argue people don't make nearly a big enough deal out of their coaching issues. Kiffin was only there for 3 1/2 years, which isn't a long time to rebuild a program, especially one that is on probation. Whether or not Kiffin deserved to get fired that doesn't change the fact that the way they fired him was really shitty. They straight up left him at the airport. That's not a good look, and not one that inspires confidence in future head coach candidates. Why take a job where you've know that the school has been dumping coaches fast and showing them no respect when doing it.
As for Sark I do think that USC bears some of the responsibility for that decision, there were rumors about his problems well before they hired him. His former players talked. Even without all of that Sark wasn't a smart choice, they were just trying to scrape the bottom of the Pete Carroll barrel. hiring his old coordinators. And in hiring Sark they pretty much gave the middle finger to Orgeron, who the players actually liked.
And then they went and hired Helton, who had no previous head coaching experience. If USC really is the number 1 job in college football why didn't they bring in someone bigger? I'm not debating the fact that they will eventually recover. I'm sure they will. But based on their actions over the last 5 years I don't see why a big name coach would choose them right now.
Also even though they've continued to recruit well they haven't really performed up to the level of their talent. Since Carroll left they've gone to two Holiday Bowls, the Las Vegas Bowl, and the Sun Bowl. Compared to 5 Rose Bowl appearances and 2 Orange Bowls during the Carroll era. Considering they still recruit well I'm not sure what to attribute their lack of success in the last 7 years other than coaching issues. Sure they had some down years because of sanctions but they're well past that at this point and yet they've started this season 1-3.
It seems pretty clear that USC wants results fast, that's not a great place to be in as a head coach.
So Petrino's going to LSU, huh? Interesting choice.
USC is the best job in CFB, Texas is the 2nd best.
The rest of those listed is debateable, although MSU is maybe top 25 at best, even at their best, they couldn't beat Michigan at their worst in recruiting.
