Tennessee HC job.....Just how does it stack up???

For my money, the top ten coaching jobs (overall) are, in no particular order:

Michigan
Alabama
Notre Dame
USC
Tennessee
Florida
Oklahoma
Penn State (when JoePa finally retires, it'll be interesting)
Florida State (see Penn State)
Ohio State

If I were ranking them 1 through 10, though, I would have to put Tennessee at maybe 8 or 9.

Miami and Texas should be on that list, and you can make pretty good arguments for Georgia, LSU, and UCLA.

I think that is a pretty accurate list. With the facilities, booster money, fans,ect..

I really think that the HC position at FSU is slated for Jimbo Fisher. Everyone down here seems to think that.

Note: The athletic director at FSU resigned yesterday. He'd been told he was not going to have his contract renewed at start of next year, so he's going out gracefully with a nive buy-out. But in my mind that signals the end of the Bowden era, as well.

I wouldn't be suprised at all to see this ripple effect take place in regards to coaching changes this offseason and the next 2 or so offseasons:

Pelini goes to Nebraska
Miles goes to Michigan
Jimbo goes back to LSU this year or next


Bowden resigns
Mark Richt goes back to UGA
Bobo moves up to headcoach at UGA in 2-3 years

It's not really that you can't understand it....it's that natural bias won't allow you to accept it. From every single possible measurement, the Bama HC job is as good or better than UT....and that certainly include facilities. The investment they've put in down there is impressive, from the stadium to the football complex to the academic center. They're about to expand the stadium again to over 100k.

Yeah, I'm bias, that's why I said that Florida and LSU were better jobs in the SEC. That's why I think that USC, Michigan, Texas possibly Miami and FSU are all better jobs than UT.

NOT. It's that Alabama is a cesspool and I can't understand why someone would think it's a better job than Tennessee. I have yet to see someone make an arguement that remotely would make me consider it even close.

Population has been pointed out as a weakness in Tennessee, yet South Carolina, Alabama, and Louisiana all have smaller populations than Tennessee. The middle school argument seemed like a good argument, but people began to point out that there are several place in Tennessee that have middle school football.

Why are states that are smaller than Tennessee (Bama, Cajun Country, and Carolina) really able to produce more players?

You struck my curiosity. Of course that is the mean so distressed neighborhoods would bring down the avg.

Salary in Tuscaloosa AL:
$4,000,000
Comparable salary in Miami-Dade County FL:
$4,814,582.02

If you move from Tuscaloosa AL to Miami-Dade County FL...

Groceries will cost: 2.1% more Housing will cost: 74.395% more Utilities will cost: 4.506% more Transportation will cost: 3.067% more Healthcare will cost: 14.261% more

tough for a man to make ends meet on a measly 4 million dollars a year in miami.

I agree, but as I said earlier, Michigan gets the nod because if I am a guy with a choice between the two and not tied to either, I know I have a better chance at winning at Michigan because of the weaker Conference.

These other states have state funded middle school football. Therefore most of the areas that do have it in Tennessee tend to be middle to upper class, like Williamson County, Blount County, and Tri-Cities/Morristown. I don't know for sure, but I'm almost certain that Memphis city schools and Davidson County schools have no middle school football, and this has to hurt.

I do to most years, but not this years for obvious reason's...I think three players have already left the teams stating conflicting issues with Coach Weis was there concern. Wonder how this will effect his future recruiting as well as a 1-7 record and, I wonder if there is any way Harrison Smith would leave ND and come to UT. I know we wanted him bad last year, maybe he has a change of heart. That's just wishful thinking though I am sure.

ND has the #1 or 2 ranked class this year on all the major recruiting boards. They picked up a 5* wr last week after getting throttled by USC and stole a 4* from Neb. this week. They are doing fine.

I dont really put a whole lot of thought into the ranking systems. We are seeing the great Charlie Weis's players this year. His success came off of Tyrone's players. And, without Brady Quinn they would have had a terrible season the last two years. So to say that Notre Dame is doing fine is not at the least bit true. When your team is 1-7 with the possibility of losing to Navy things are NOT fine!

I also think that it is injustice in the way they (Notre Dame) ran Tyrone out of town after three years. While all he did was return the team from Davie's dark years. Weis is doing worse than any coach in Notre Dame's history has ever did. I for one love seeing Notre Shame get pummeled every game, makes up for the all the years where the media made it out like Notre Dame was the only team in the country. Piss on the Irish!
