I agree it's fluid. Even if I wasn't a Tennessee fan I'd think right now Tennessee is a better job than LSU or A&M.
Living in TX, The only reason I don’t think TAMU is a better job is because the Longhorns tend to take their thunder(with perception and recruiting) and a lot of Aggie fans and booster have a little brother complex to them. It’s weird, Texas a&m could be doing a lot better on the field than Texas yet the horns still get more love, it tends to put a lot more pressure on them.I think TAMU is a better job than TN but I agree it’s better than AU.
People who never lived in Texas don’t realize 70% of the state hates the Aggies, makes fun of them and would rather play anywhere than College Station. The 30% that support A&M would literally die for it. No kidding.
I would think Georgia/LSU would be the best jobs. There’s no other major school to compete with and it’s loaded with high school talent.
Actually, A&M is better than Alabama. Why? When Saban leaves, no one will be able to satisfy the fan base. A lot of Bama fans are already down on Saban after one loss this year. They will fall like they did after Bear retired. Saban's replacement will win 10 games for a couple of years then get a brick thrown thru his widow and he'll leave (a la Curry). Then, the next coach will do well, but it won't be good enough (see Stallings), then they'll make some desperate hires and fall further until the delusional fan base realizes there is not another Saban out there. History will repeat itself.Texas AM has most money, HUGE OIL BARONS, Absolutely best facilities and sits within 175 miles of endless D1 prospects, and an almost cultishly fanatic fanbase,,, Its a choice job
TAM money will trump TX with the NIL, administration and fan support. Way more money and corporate execs. More rabid fan base. That will make TAM the #1 powerhouse in the SEC. If you haven't been to A&M for a game, you need to go and plan to tour the campus on game day. It's a great experience--proud patriotism on exhibit. The fans are very polite but as enthusiastic as any. I have several Aggie friends and they are all great people. Never met an Aggie I didn't like.Living in TX, The only reason I don’t think TAMU is a better job is because the Longhorns tend to take their thunder(with perception and recruiting) and a lot of Aggie fans and booster have a little brother complex to them.

You are speaking alot of truth but UGA only recruits the kids that they want in GA. I live in Warner Robins, GA and coached youth travel football here so I've seen a ton of talent up close. I saw Marquez Calloway in the 7th grade. Saw Jake Fromm & his twin Bros. My son is a freshman DB at the same high school that Calloway played at. They are a powerhouse from Middle GA. Ranked #1 5A team, ranked #2 overall on GSHA,nationally ranked, & currently working on their 5 straight state title game appearance. CJH understands this bc he is recruiting the area. We have a 5 star recruit that visited recently for class of 23 from Warner Robins High, he plays DE ( Vic Burley). I watch him practice everyday the kid is a monster. ATL has a ton of talent but GA has great talent all over the state. You can field a legit team without ever going to ATL. We've always went to ATL and won. I recently coached a QB that is currently 13 yrs old and he already has offers from UGA, Bama, & TAMU. My last yrs team had 40 players and 85% of those kids are potential power 5 prospects. Half of those kids play at WRHS. If I was CJH I would be all over that team starting with Burley then go after that freshman class.A lot of Georgia's population is transplanted. They don't have the loyalty to the home school that one may expect. That's why the Atlanta area pro teams are plagued by poor attendance. That said, 62 percent of the state's population lives in the Atlanta metro area. So the talent is heavily concentrated in that small area.
Many teams recruit there and do well there. Georgia doesn't have the state on lockdown and frankly, there's enough prospects in the state to supply the entire roster for 6 to 8 teams with blue chips if they chose to go that route. Spread it out with 5 or 6 prospects and you may have 30 or 40 teams signing several good prospects from there each year.
For the next year or two, A&M is the only school in texas that can go to any recruit's house and say "if you're gonna stay home for school, wouldn't you want to spend your college career in the SEC?" it's easier than ever to go out of state for college, but it still matters to a lot of kids to stay home and be a hometown hero in some regard. A&M will always have that advantage because of where they are.Was gonna ask what makes one better than the other? I mean someone says A&M is a better job than Tennessee. Why?
