FC/OT: Very unscientific ranking of Head Coaching jobs in College Football…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
If he simply labeled them Tier #1 thru Tier #5 it would make more sense even if some rankings would still be debatable. Calling Pitt a Tier #3 job would be about right. Calling it a "strong job" is a bit of an overstatement. Also, I wouldn't really consider Iowa Tier #2, maybe Tier #2.5. But "desirable"?? Nah. The same goes for Ole Miss. I'd also put FSU in Tier #1 but not Texas. To me it seems the Texas job comes with too many headaches caused by boosters. I also agree that Nebraska should be bumped down.
Yeah, how is Nebraska a Teir 1?
Also, B1G has most in Teir 1 and 5 and none in Teir 3. Additionally, CJF coached at 2 Teir 5 schools (1 as HC and 1 as ast). I guess you can get out of purgatory. This could be interesting, but it probably just someone with a Twitter handle making graphics.
For more than 2 decades Nebraska has been career suicide.
I was just addressing the subject line (which matters) and didn’t want to get overly complicated. Still, you’re right. We’re very smart here.
What makes UCLA Tier 2? The weather? Location? Seeing USC song girls around town? And don’t start throwing flags - here you go.

Access to talent, location, weather, conference/media money, etc. Reminds me of Iowa with better weather, prettier girls, and more hs football talent within the state.
Fair points. But IMO they’re a significant afterthought in the PAC and will be in the Big10 too.
But it’s a program with potential and in one of the best places in the country for HS football. If UCLA wants to ‘compete’ with the big boys, it certainly can.

Congratulations.
Ha! at My Gophers! From 7 MNC's to Oklahoma's license plate slogan. OK is okay...
I'd switch Washington with BYU and Florida with Oklahoma State and maybe Miami with Michigan State.
I'd move MD up now that divisions are going away. If they ever got a seriously good HC they could be very dangerous.
Nebraska? Not from where I sit. Their glory days are long gone. I even have a hard time giving them a desirable after Scott Frost wrecked the program.
Winning NC’s is only one part of desirability; I personally wouldn’t take most jobs in the South. No interest in living there.
Northern Virginia isn’t the South! Or so I keep telling myself….
Well....
Ignoring the whole Mason Dixon line and secession thingies...
i guess you could argue that a guy with middling results in the worst division in P5, who throws temper tantrums on the sidelines and is 2-4 in bowls lasts....what, 7 years now? You could argue that the job security is at least pretty good.
