You dun lost it, my man. By this, I guess Cal, UCLA or even Washington are as good or better jobs than Michigan. And if we don't care about academics, any low pressure job in nice weather that can get kids is better, like Arizona or ASU.
I would put Stanford on par with Da U in terms of being able to sustain success. Private school with not a lot of people who really care.

Not sure why jobs are better because a lot of fans "care" - if anything thatd make the job worse.

Your point is why if I am a guy like Patterson or Briles, I continue to rule my weird little private fiefdom for life and can get paid in things like oil and gas leases or whatever and no one really knows.

Hardly trolling.
Like I said Stanford > Notre Same as well.
Eta. And if JH fails watch for a huge reality check. That job will be avoided

Depends on what you consider better.
At Stanford, you have to fight with the admission office to recruit students. Even if you have a Top 10 team, you might not be able to sell out the stadium.
On the other hand, there is less pressure, great location, and unique environment.
I've heard David Shaw has had the privilege of meeting with 5 different billionaires since becoming the head coach of Stanford.
I firmly believe David Shaw is a Stanford man and he'll stay at the program more many years. It seems like it is his dream job.
Harbaugh, we all knew it was a matter of time before he left for the NFL or big CFB program.

Stanford consistently fields better teams than Mich.
UM is going all in with JH. They better hope they don't get rivered.

Over the last 5 years, sure. Over the course of history, no.

a. Michigan - the winningist college football program in history;
b. Stanford - a new-kid-on-the block.
Winner: Michigan

Is Stanford even relevant since JH and his players left?
Posted on 12/29/14 at 3:00 pm to Gradual_Stroke
I would be obsessed with them too if my team hasn't won a conference title since the 1990s.
They're historically one of the best football programs/jobs in the country. Unlike the bunch of underachieving wannabes from college station.

when Stanford had room to take a full class they finished #5 in recruiting (2012) and #14 (last year); theyll be certain to be better than UM next year.
after that, who knows, it truly depends on who JH is able to recruit (especially at QB).
this is obviously an elite hire, but Stanford will be a top 15 program moving fwd - same with UM.

I don't think Stanford is one of the best jobs int he country.
Doesn't have a great football tradition, you do have to deal with academic standards most teams don't have to deal with. There are traditional powerhouses in the are that you have to compete with (USC when they are good). Their facilities are not top notch. I think they downgraded their stadium in 2005.

And what has Michigan ranked in recruiting lately? They've landed top 10 classes.
You're arguing an opinion as fact.
