2) USC
3) Ohio State
4) Texas
5) Notre Dame
6) Florida
7) Michigan
8) FSU
9) Oregon
10) OU/UM/UGA/Clemson

6.B tied with florida
Oregon is not top ten and I dont think FSU is, LSU is ahead of OU, UM, UGA, & Clemson for jobs

I'd say top 3. In a slump now, can easily slide back into perennial championship quality teams with the right guy.

Your list is shite without LSU in top 3-5.

To be honest, the prestige/history/fan base angle is useless these days, I am not sure why it is brought up. The reason this use to matter, or why it was perveived to matter, was because the "blue blood prestigious schools" were the only ones willing to dump money into their facilities and to their coaches, as well as play on tv every saturday. Now, that crap is all the same. All the big programs are willing to throw millions around and every team gets exposure.
The rankings are all about the recruting grounds now.
I would say
1.LSU/Ohio State/UGA/UT/USC/UF are all about even. Meaning, the same coach would have about equal success at these given programs

Above Florida. UF has a ton of in state recruiting competition. LSU has none.
FSU is also below LSU for the same reason and because that university is quite underwhelming.

LSU is in that group you listed. LSU is a top 1% job in the nation and it has everything a coach would want when considering a new job at a top University. LSU will get a great coach if they do this the right way.

I think Lsu is in the 6-8 range overall.
Posted on 9/26/16 at 9:48 am to dpd901
1. Texas
2. LSU
3. Ohio State
4. Alabama
5. USC
6. Florida
7. Oklahoma
8. Florida State
9. Georgia
10. Notre Dame

its top 10.
i think the list is something like
1. Texas or Alabama
3. USC
4. Tosu
5. Michigan Florida LSU
all of these places have fertile recruiting grounds, all are willing to pay anything it takes
good news for LSU is Alabama, Tosu, Florida and michigan aren't looking for a coach this year. Also highly unlikely that USC and LSU cross paths on what coach they want.
So unless Texas was to come open this year LSU is the premier job on the market. Even if you ranked us lower only oregon is realistically looking at a change. I think we are over ND as of now.

Notre Dame has no business being on that list.
Posted on 9/26/16 at 10:17 am to dpd901
Top 5, easily
Posted on 9/26/16 at 10:20 am to dpd901
I'd have us tied at 7 with FSU.
Notre Dame can gtfo of that list.

Bama, USC, OSU, Texas, Michigan, ND, UF, OU, LSU
Posted on 9/26/16 at 10:36 am to dpd901
Well, wouldn't we rank #1 because LSU is the school w/o a head coach right now?
Posted on 9/26/16 at 10:41 am to dpd901
I think you have your list of premier schools and the great histories of each school but I feel like it doesn't matter as long as it's of that caliber. Every coach knows he has the opportunity to build a dynasty there
Posted on 9/26/16 at 10:50 am to dpd901
It's really hard to rank 1-10 like that. Tiers are a better way IMO.
Bama, Texas, Florida, Southern California, Ohio state, Michigan
That's your top tier. People will complain about Florida being in that list until you look at how often Florida wins the SEC east and the rich recruiting area they sit in. Texas honestly shouldn't be in it, but their egos won't allow them to admit it, so their willingness to pay an insane amount of money, a great recruiting base and a weak conference keep them there.
After that it gets harder.
2nd tier is LSU, Notre Dame, Oregon, Florida state, Oklahoma, Georgia IMO.
Notre Dame is sliding down the list and is on the verge of being tier 3. Oregon will be tier 3 after Knight's influence wanes.
If you made me rank the 2nd tier I'd have FSU and LSU tied at the top of it, they're clearly above the rest at this point, but also clearly below tier 1.

They were talking about this on college sports Sirius/XM radio this morning. Most coaches believe it the best job in the nation when you factor in recruiting in state no power five school in state along with top notch facilities. The things we already know. I do believe it's a top 5 job these days and not like 20 years ago when we were coming onto the scene
