re: Better job-opening: Stanford or Georgia Tech?

I’d say Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech’s administration is willing to play ball when it comes to getting kids admitted initially whereas Stanford makes it much harder to get in. This difference between the two is even more stark when it comes to transfers. In an era where non-top tier programs like Stanford and Tech would benefit from being able to bring in guys out of the portal, Stanford makes it much harder to get transfers admitted than Tech.

Another problem you encounter is with kids that graduate with an extra year of eligibility. Tech’s administration works with the athletic department to get kids into a grad program whereas Stanford grad schools are much more unwilling to play ball.

When it comes to college football, so much of your success depends on talent acquisition and retention. Tech beats Stanford on all fronts from a pure working with the administration perspective.

Agreed that both programs can pull from good recruiting grounds, but both are second fiddle to other big programs in the region. I can’t speak to facilities at Stanford (although tech’s facilities stink). Now if you’re a coach and money is your main concern, my assumption would be that Stanford can pony up a lot more money for you and your staff than a place like Tech.
