that list seems to really drop off after us. interesting list. hard to disagree, even if i find a lot of the top teams detestable.A little something to ponder. A couple years ago SI did an article on college destination jobs, a very controversial one as you might imagine. Now that a week has passed and we are in the "Oh God! No one good wants to coach here!" phase of the process I thought it might be interesting to see who fills the HC jobs at these so called destination jobs. Who knows? It might make us feel a little better.
SI list of Top 20 Destination Jobs:
1) Texas - Brown
2) Ohio State - Urban Meyer
3) Oklahoma - Stoops
4) Florida - Muschamp
5) Georgia - Richt
6) LSU - Miles
7) Alabama - Saban
8) Penn State - Obrien
9) Auburn - Malzan
10) Oregon - Kelly
11) USC - Kiffin
12) Michigan - Hoge
13) Notre Dame - Kelly
14) Florida State - Fisher
15) Nebraska - Pelini
16) Tennessee - Jones
17) Virginia Tech - Beamer
18) Arizona State - Todd Graham
19) Arizona - Rodriguez
20) Oklahoma State - Gundy
exactly. all those guys are doing well, but you could make an argument they are underpaid (at least they could make more) and there are (for lack of a better term) easier jobs out there (to be successful).Bo actually has a fairly decent contract - in comparison to say, Saban, who'd you have to pay 5+ million a year... So yeah, Pelini's name (coupled with a realistic contract) helps get his name out there.
And Petersen and Patterson (TCU) always get mentioned. Every. Single. Time.
saban has no where to go other than the nfl. miles' name only artificially gets floated by his agent so he can go from making outrageous money to obscene money. urban has no where to go. bo is right at that threshold of being successful, but not having yet reached his ceiling. however, i think NU would be hard to leave for him because it is ostensibly a destination job.
