I know Texas is widely referred to as the best job in the country, but with both jobs probably opening this year, who do yall think ends up with the better coach?

Texas, based on the money aspect only. Both States are a hotbed for recruiting and both programs are about equal when it comes to heritage

Texas is by far the better job. A good coach could field a national championship contender without having to leave the state for recruits.

I think USC is the easier job to come in behind Kiffin. He never really got much going there as a HC. To walk in behind Mack at Texas might be a little more difficult.

Um....UCLA, Stanford and Cal.

And Texas does not have more talent than CA. Texas actually dropped the high school all-start game vs. CA as they never won.

Only state that can compete with CA talent is Florida.

I don't know where you get the idea that CA and FL have more talent than TX. One All-star game is hardly an indicator.

2014: CA has 38 4 and 5 star prospects, TX has 46
2013: CA had 47 4 and 5 star prospects, TX has 54
2012: CA had 37 4 and 5 star prospects, TX had 46

I could keep going, but I think you get the point.

With A&Ms success and the SEC banner flying Texas has its hands full just snatching who they want anymore in that state. Id call it a wash on which is easier to recruit to at this point.

Every period of success at aTm post WWII has brought NCAA sanctions. Will history repeat itself?

Dude recruiting rankings are a joke. WHen the states top players played in an all-star team CA never lost. Not once.

And look at the state that produces most pro athletes. It's CA. Who cares what some fat idiot sitting behind a keyboard at rivals thinks.

Maybe look at the NFL...the two states that produce the most pro players is probably a good start. Not some meaningless recruiting rankings.

CA is #1 and Texas is #2 in terms of where NFL players were born.

You could argue that Texas is a better job in terms of quality of life and Austin is a great town.

But more talent isn't true.

Those questioning Nebraska should check on the latest Deadspin article on Pelini. I'd post the link but the link contains a word that will get me an infraction by the mods.

Again, pointing to an all-star game is pointless. Especially one as low on the relevancy scale for recruits as the Cal-Texas Shrine Game. The best Texas recruits hardly ever went to that game.

California does have more players in the NFL. But a lot of that is thanks to a boom in West Coast players getting drafted starting at the beginning of the last decade. That gap will shrink, if not totally disappear, as the SEC gets more and more players drafted.

Not every player born in CA stays here to play college. You have now shifted it to a SEC vs Pac 12 argument.

Reality is, CA still produces the most players. Obviously size has a lot to do with it, but don't come up here with recruiting rankings. Those things are a joke.

An All-Star game is more indicative than some idiot 'recruiting expert'.

At the end of the day, Florida, TX and CA are all pretty close. Any given year one may be better than the other two. But Texas isn't a better job because of more in-state talent. At best it's equal.

The USC job isn't great right now, because the scholarship limitations just started to take effect. It's going to take a bit of time to rebuild once they are allowed a full 85 scholarship class.

Are you seriously one of those morons who think the recruiting rankings aren't generally accurate?
