re: Where does LSU rank as a coaching destination?

I think its pretty clear which posters rank history as important in the elite jobs vs which posters are using combinations of current climate in football, recruiting and such.

ND has 2 big disadvantages in recruiting, the lack of instate talent to help supplement lean years and make for easy picking and the restrictions their admin can put on them vs and Sec team.

ND is also hurt because now every single team has every game on the air. Their nothing special in that regard anymore. They can't sell recruits on you will be on tv every single game because everyone can do it. They do have a massive national brand but regardless its much easier for a school to convince the top kids to stay home vs going across the country.

I also think ND could be hurt just slightly by being a highly religious school. The population is still really christian but as we continue down the path it will be interesting to see how the demographics change.

if you go by history than LSU is likely around 7 or 8. You go by tiers and key things that make a school successful which is money, recruiting and resources and LSU is top tier elite.
