he usually puts the "next" in order as well ... so that would make OU #12 overall .. . not bad
Ha!If you can't win at Texas, then you ought to consider another profession.

13, since he listed two schools at 8.Originally Posted by BoulderSooner
Surely he meant Oklahoma State

Why is Georgia an honorable mention?
I ****umed this was just a college list and thought that outside of the top ten was a joke... but for ALL of football... yeah, I'll take it.
With all the advantages that exist for Texas, their relatively sparse trophy case is puzzling.
Everyone focuses on all the economic and geographic factors that should allow them to the dominate college football indefinitely, but no one ever seems to talk about the factors that have prevented them from actually doing it.
Without question, more college coaches have had greater success at Oklahoma than at Texas. Only program with four coaches with over 100 wins at one school. The most successful program since WWII.
OU's trophy case looks like what most people envision about Texas.
OU is easily a Top 5 college job.

USC is too low. It's a better job than anything in college not named Texas, and that's a good argument.

I don't think OU is a Top 5 job, but probably Top 10. Jobs that are better than OU are: Texas, Ohio State, Florida, USC, Notre Dame, and Alabama.
Agree with all except Florid****
i really don't understand how ND is such a great job
Your own TV deal. Tons of media exposure. A schedule packed with marquee games. Post season rules that skew in your favor. History and tradition that almost no other school can compete with. NFL success of former Domers.
That's just off the top of my head.

Oklahoma is a better job than Florida, LSU and Michigan... At least on Par if not better than tOSU

Florida is an SEC school in a major state for recruiting, and their Grand Total Revenue is higher than schools like Oklahoma, Florida State, LSU, Penn State, and Notre Dame.
It's a top job. Oklahoma is close, though.
I'm looking at it more from they have a short leash for coaches because of their old success and high expectations but they have a limited recruiting base
I don't usually like to take shots at other programs but Texas has all the advantages and resources you can imagine and their trophy case has about half of what OUr's has. Texas, in my opinion, had underachieved throughout their history considering everything they have that plays in their favor... Not to mention the money the school has.
No . . . they don't. Florida and LSU each have at least three. Michigan has a couple as well.
LSU 2, Florida 2, and Michigan 1.....I think.

Forgot about the **** kicking Florida gave to Nebraska.
LSU is not a top 10 job period.

is the debate good job or good tradition? or a combination of both?
OU is a good job, but it lacks as much money as schools like UT, tOSU, and ND, lacks being in a recruiting rich state like UT, Florida, and USC, and lacks the **** appeal of USC. so, if i am looking for a job, i would think UT, tOSU, ND, and UF are better jobs, with USC in the discussion.
OU has just about every school but ND beat or (or at least equal) on tradition.

Pathetic. The Houston Texas made the top 10!? Are you ****ing joshing me!? Is it their rich history or their losing record since their inception? Or is it their 1 playoff win in 10 years?
"As of the end of the 2011 season, the Texans' overall regular season win-loss record is 68-95 (.417). They are 1-1 (.500) all-time in playoff games."
I consider this list invalid on the basis of the Texans pick alone, not to mention several other baffling choices. (LSU, Georgia, Oregon). I would replace those with Dallas, Pittsburgh, The U (even with the sanctions), A&M (bright future), Florida State (just as big a job as UF), and the Dirty Birds (Get the Dawgs outta there, it's not even the biggest job in the state). You can even throw in the 9ers and Raiders jobs above Oregon, for example. LSU is a good job but bigger than a Dallas or Pittsburgh (for example)? GTFOOHWTS!
Also an honorable mention could be....... drum roll....... Penn State. Great facilities, great following.
What are you talking about?Forgot about the **** kicking Florida gave to Nebraska.
Its not a fair comparison to rank college jobs along side NFL jobs. Of course most NFL jobs are going to be more desirable to a coach than a college job. I guarantee Brian Kelley would leave ND in a heart beat if Jerry Jones, Robert Kraft or Arthur Blank came calling. But guys like that aren't going to take a risk on someone with no NFL experience, so that isn't going to happen.
Well, Jerry did hire Switzer, but that was a low risk move given that the Cowboys were the best team in the NFL at the time.
Stoops has for sure been offered before, and has turned them all down. They actually have an ESPN poll right now asking, average head coaching job or Top 25 coaching job? I thought top 25 was too broad, thought it should be more like top 10 to get a good response. I clicked it and was like, "Oh ****, really?":
http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/poll...n/_/id/3385129
I do think you are correct from the owners perspective, as there have been many successful college coaches that couldn't cut it in the pros. Saban being a perfect example.
