re: Where does LSU rank as a coaching destination?

we are a much better job than ou.

ou has no in state talent

I would say somewhere between 6-10 job in College FB.

LSU, given the location; the facilities; TIGER f'ing STADIUM; the recruiting, the revenue... etc. etc., is EASILY at top 5 program. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling them self.

I doubt that.

LSU better job than Bama? No

LSU better job than Ohio State? No

LSU better job than Michigan? No.

Florida? No

Southern California? Hell no, if I had to pick #1 overall it's probably there.

Texas is the weakest of my tier 1 and are you honestly going to try and say LSU is a better job than that?

Just because you have that A beside your name, doesn't make you an expert. You refuse to admit LSU is a top 5 coaching destination. Of course, we all understand why.

I don't think its unfair to say we aren't top 5 if you want to go by historical aspect. I think 6 would be a fair argument at the worst spot.

I still think tiers are the best way to look at elite jobs. LSU is clearly in the elite tier of jobs.

LSU is generally ranked at 9 in most all time program polls. Tens is ranked higher than us and its clear we are a better coaching spot. so that puts us at 8. I believe the corn huskers are usually ranked above us as well so that is another team ahead in history but we are clearly the destination that is better. The same applies to ou. so top 6 is right.

UF is in a similar situation how history has them further down they the prestige of the job.

Bama- hard to argue they aren't better, if you look at current state but we strip that away and look at the core which is pay, recruiting ground, and resources. I think they have the slight edge on resources because their facilities are just a tad nicer than us.

I lean to saying the most important part of the tiers would be who has the elite recruiting ground, LSU checks that box, who has top pay for coach and his staff, LSU checks that box as well, who has the resources to stay on top, LSU fits here as we invest in our facilities.

we pay more than ou is willing to pay, our recruiting is better. I think you are overrating history.

OU has had alot of success winning the conference lately but less success delivering national titles as its LSU 2 to their 1 for the modern history that will matter to most recruits.

ND isn't a better job than LSU unless you really rank history higher than anything else.

LSU has had more recent success nationally. ND has taken a major hit with every team having every game on. They can pay like we can, they don't have that instate talent base to help them and they have tougher recruiting restrictions than we do.

I don't think ND is like the huskers and have faded to complete irrelevance but they aren't the biggest dog on the block anymore. They are a ho hum program.

They are still a threat since pay is something that can match, but they lack the inherent recruiting ground that USC, Texas, LSU, Bama, TOsu, michigan and the florida schools share.
