re: Athlon ranks LSU the 10th best job in college football

6 of one
Half dozen of the other


Top 10 jobs are all upper echelon positions in the world of college football.

Ga. #1 is crazy, we here thi shite every year & how did the Ga. game vrs.









































Ga. #1, what a joke! We here this shite every year! How did Ga. & Lsu turn out last year ?Also what about Ga in the bowl game, Texas raped their arse !

UGA has been one of the biggest underachievers. It's why Richt was let go. Too much talent in that state for UGA to not win championships.

It's a great job.

I didn't say it wasn't a good job...it's not the #1 job.

Then what is and why?

We always talk about LSU being such a great job (and it is) in large part because of the rich in-state recruiting base and no in state competition for those players. UGA has virtually the same thing. While Louisiana may have more great players per capita, Georgia routinely produces anywhere from 9-15 top 100 players a year. When they don't sign those guys it's not because Ga. Tech took them, it's other OOS schools. Plus, at least for now, the path to a championship is easier simply by virtue of UGA being in the SEC East. Other than Florida (and even that is debatable) there are no other powers in the East right now as compared to the West.

Now, can the HC capitalize on those advantages and win a championship? We'll see. But it's hard to argue that he doesn't have the most inherent advantages of any other school.

Texas, California, and Florida have multiple power conf. schools within their borders. Schools like Ohio St., Penn State, Tennessee are largely the only big players in their state. But their states don't have quite as rich a talent base as Georgia.

My vote is Ohio St. They have a great recruiting base Ohio produces more NFL than any non Sun Belt State, the have a National following in large part because there are people from Ohio every where they have great tradition and a shall we say more “manageable” conference

Dude Florida has way more talent than Louisiana it isn't even close. The Florida schools can split all the top players evenly and still be more talented than an LSU team with only the top Louisiana players.

Don't be ridiculous.

Florida has 3 major football schools in their state. Not to mention, FSU is the furthest north Florida school, meaning they are the furthest from where the actual talent is in their state

Louisiana has only 1 major football school in its entire state

LSU also has far more money to spend on athletics than FSU does, and LSU has a far far better fan following

Being that it says best coaching jobs for 2019 I would put USC and FSU behind LSU as of today’s climate

Depends on how much you like food IMO and most of these athletes when not playing football or chasing girls they are eating

Avg isn’t a good measure. A small state like La is prone to boom/bust years and also tends to produce more elite players at certain positions like DB/WR/RB and less of others like OL or QB. A bigger state like Florida has an advantage.

---

I disagree when you are spreading Florida’s talent around 3 power 5 football schools and Louisiana only has 1 school in state, and honestly east Texas almost counts as Louisiana with proximity to LSU

The last two head football coaching hires proves that this is simply not true.

From a chance for success on the field perspective, it is a great opportunity.

From a load of shite from every direction perspective (politicians, LSU administration, ridiculous fan expectations, etc...), it is a shitty gig and it is no secret in the marketplace.
