re: Take the purple and gold glasses off: Is LSU a Top 5 Job in the Nation? Why/Why not?

1. Alabama - T-town sux but Saban has built it into a powerhouse and that legacy will last a while)
2. USC - Hollywood, Rose bowl, so-cal weather, incredible brand
3. Texas - Huge brand, almost unlimited $$ and resources
4. Notre Dame - history, brand, legacy,
5. LSU - only school that can say it's last 3 coaches have all won National Championships.

Terrible list. Tuscaloosa is a shite hole, no one wants to follow Saban, and just because they’re the most consistently elite team means NOTHING for the future

USC is a dumpster fire. Being in L.A. trumps every college location in the country (except maybe some of the Florida schools) but you’re a college football coach. During the season you don’t have time for Hollywood, and you’re making so much money that in the offseason when you do have time, fricking go to Hawaii.

Texas hasn’t been relevant in 20 years.

Notre Dame hasn’t been relevant in a million years.

LSU is the best of these jobs. Baton Rouge sucks, but 6+ million a year gets you a home in the Bahamas pretty easily.
