ESPN ranked NU coaching gig top 10, ahead of UGA; Georgia Board goes nuts

[Saint Boseph]

Apparently someone on the Georgia Message Board posted that they watched a Sportscenter segment ranking the top coaching gigs in CFB. He didn't provide a link but another poster who saw it remembered the order as follows:

 

1. Alabama

2. Texas

3. Florida

4. USC

5. Notre Dame

6. Oklahoma

7. Ohio St.

8. Michigan

9. Nebraska

10. FSU

11. Oregon

12. Miami

13. LSU

14. Auburn

15. Georgia

 

14 teams ranked ahead of them, but DONU is the only one GA board goes ape-s*** about. I posted a link to it below, it's mildly entertaining to see how angry they are and read how they rip on us; I'm always curious to hear other fanbases' perceptions of us. The conversation even devolves into an argument about which state, NE or GA, has more hicks/rednecks.

I think ESPN's list is reasonable. It's an interesting debate about which coaching gig is better overall, UGA or NU. How the average CFB fan feels depends on if they value historical achievement-to-date or the current/future outlook. I think NU is still a more desirable gig than UGA in both categories but I'm obviously a little biased.

Georgia is a top 3 job? That must be a result of mixing kool-aid with paint chips

Throw in a little inbreeding and you're good to go.

i will take that.

 

is bama just super hot now? or has their history sustained them at the top? i get that they are one of the historically elite programs, but i would like to see this list for every 3-5 years for the past 20 years. it would be interesting to see the ebb and flow of top programs.

So since we are a top ten destination that means we can fire Bo and can get a real head coach right?

[BIGREDIOWAN]

A few of those posters actually have a level head, it's a small amount that are running their mouths about Nebraska. How about we take our non-relevant a$$es down to the Gator Bowl and kick their prestigious a$$es all over the field?!

Look out guys, we've got an internet funny guy here.

So which ones are actually open? Or is that not the point. I'm sorry, I'm not much of a SoCal guy, but I wouldn't touch USC at all as a head coach. Florida is probably the best option.

Thanks, imo.

 

I'm pretty surprised that eSECpn had DONU up that high.

The order isn't what ESPN said, it's what that poster perceived as top recruiting.

 

Off the top of my head, if I list what I perceive as the top jobs based on winning tradition, recruiting environment, etc.:

I would agree with this ↑

 

While I think the HC position @ Nebraska is still a "TOP JOB" for CFB, we can't argue it has taken a hit (2000s to present)!

How can nebraska have more rednecks than GA if GA is the state with the annoying hick accent?

[JJ Husker]

Fairly reasonable list, surprisingly from ESecPN. Personally, I would think Oklahoma and Florida could drop below NU and that Georgia could have a problem with Auburn and maybe Miami being ahead of them. How in the hell is Florida a top 3 (or even top 10) gig?

[kchusker_chris]

Decent list. I'd say Ohio State should be higher, and Oklahoma much farther down...but all-in-all good list.
