What are the five worst P5 coaching jobs?

In no order:

Kansas
Vanderbilt
Washington State
Duke
Syracuse

Disagree with Northwestern and Texas Tech. I think both of those can be decent jobs

In terms of what? Ability to win? Vandy is one of the best if you are looking at it from a job and quality of life POV. I know this is a LSU echo chamber, but coaches look at this as a job for the most part.

I think Northwestern can be a pretty decent job for the right coach. It's the Midwest's version of Stanford - a school with prestigious academics in a large metro area. There are enough young men within a few hours of Chicago who are decent football players and can meet the academic requirements. Lord knows it isn't a pressure cooker environment. If you can be competitive and sneak into a halfway decent bowl game every couple of years, you can hang on to the job.

Unless you've got a kid on the team whose dad killed 5 hookers.

Most coaches just want to win. They don't care as much about the city itself. I'm sure some do but I don't think that's a major factor.

I think Charlottesville, VA or Fayetteville, AR are both much nicer places to live than Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge but they aren't better FB jobs by a long shot. You can't win at Vandy in football.

If you have a lot of money, any city can be a great place to live.

Coaches who stay coaches turn any negative into a positive. Coaches who can’t are based on their ability to develop. You can have a few dead recruiters if you surround them by good ones. Let the recruit know he might not have a personality but he can get you into the NFL
How life is as a recruiter
Everyone gets recruited negatively. Even Alabama and Saban.

Yeah people making $5-10 million a year aren't spending time amongst the plebs

You have to remember these guys posting in here have Baton Rouge as their baseline for a college town. They will have all kinds of excuses when Dave Arnada turns them down just like their coordinator searches last year.
