I live in the Austin area, so thought I'd listen to their sports radio propganda show.

The spin was definitely on full speed. The talking heads hit on:
1. Loved that they got air time during and after Aggie game against Mack. Failed to mention we beat his 13th ranked Tarheels.
2. They seem to love the redemption story of giving Sark a 2nd chance.
3. Said if they can't have Saban, Sark is the next best option!
4. Listed a few of Herman's mistakes, including being in the middle of and partially causing the recent "eyes of Texas" PR mess. I didn't realize Tom was being blamed for tu's left wing surge, but it appears that was one of their main gripes.

They're doing mental backflips to justify the firing / hiring. All good!

The claim is that CDC told Herman all players were expected to gather for TEOT but Herman told players they could bail if they wanted. The result was Sam standing all alone for TEOT.

They are excited

If strong was a 40% winner, and Herman was a 60% winner...
Sarkisian should at best only be an 80% winner.

That means they fired Brown to be worse...

HahahahA

Texas trying to hire the entire Alabama offensive staff outside of the RB coach if the rumors are true.

Fixed it.

Let's not forget they extended his contract while lowering his buyout with the intention of firing him.

The really good news here is that the sips will still be digging the hole they find themselves in deeper for many more years.

You know what they say, the only difference between a hole and a grave is.......depth.

What is your list of the "top coaching jobs in the country right now"?

My opinion is that there are 15 or so "top" jobs but I'm curious as to what you believe.

tu isn't even in the top 25 buddy

Ok maybe top 25 but for all the boofing going on not top 15 by any stretch no how many horn dollars are involved.

I know you didn't ask me but I'll chime in. I think the top jobs currently are:

#1 tOSU
-multiple coaches have played in a national title game here over past 20 years. Says more about the job than the coaches IMO. They recruit nationally and have little competition in the Big10. Strong support from the school and a rabid alumni base.

#2 bama
-more like 1b. I give tOSU job (emphasis on job)the edge due to sustained success despite having turnover in coaches. Saban has laid such a good foundation that they probably will always be good especially if they money whip dabo into coming home


- big gap-

#3 LSU
- LSU has a talent well that never seems to run dry and if Les Miles and Ed O can win a title at your school, it's a good job. It's got a gap between the other two because they like to penny pinch some on the athletic side.

#4 USC
-when they have a coach with charisma, they recruit nationally and recruit at a high level. Have very little competition. Good support from the school but an apathetic alumni base compared to other premium schools

#5 Notre Dame
-you consistently get the benefit of the doubt allowing you to have chances in the post season you wouldn't have at other programs. Can nationally recruit

# 6 OU
-provides great resources to their coaches, can recruit well, any coach who's decent can win there as long as your name isn't John Blake, Gomer Jones and Lewie Hardage (only 3 coaches to coach there and finish with a sub 500 record since the 1890s)

#7 Florida
-they're always serious contenders to win the East depau

#8 Auburn
-if gene chizek and Senator Pine Box can win a title here, anybody can. 3 different coaches have succeeded here in the last twenty years. They always seem to have a ton of talent and their meddling boosters is one of the reasons they're not ranked higher.

#9 Georgia
-having trouble winning a title but always recruits well no matter who is coaching there, has played for a title recently, tons of support

#10 Clemson
-not higher because don't know how much is Dabo versus the program/school itself. If another coach can come in and compete for a title they'll go up much higher

My list is heavily biased by schools having success with multiple different coaches. To me that says more about the job than who coaches there

Noticeably absent

-sips - discussed ad nauseam so won't go into any more detail

-Michigan - 1 split title since 1947 and Nebraska would have destroyed them in 1997 so don't even think that should count.

-us - we need to win first.

I like Wisconsin, Penn State and Oregon as well as kind of potential break through teams.

I would say the sip job is in the top 5 college football jobs in the state of Texas.

But just barely.

AgStuckinLBK, thanks. I appreciate your perspective.

In the current NCAA Football landscape, I'd go with this:

1. Alabama--premier college football of alltime
2. tOSU--incredible resources and no instate challenge to deal with
3. LSU--Incredible talent and no instate challenge to deal with
4. Clemson--Dabo has set that place up to be huge for a long time because of his leadership
5. Oklahoma--Benefit from poor conference, but great tradition and recruiting
6. Notre Dame--Huge t-shirt fanbase and amazing tradition, but no longer has the talent to beat Southern teams
7. Oregon---Nike money and weak conference
8. Georgia--Huge talent and major team in the state but cant seem to beat SEC West teams
9. Florida--See Georgia, but even more competition for talent instate
10. Texas A&M--Tons of money and former students with huge facilities and around lots of talent, just cant win enough to get the next level of respect

Texas should be top ten, but its not right now because of the headaches that come with that job. Inflated player rankings, helicopter fanbase, ridiculous expectations from media, liberal university leadership, and a poor conference are the main issues there for sure.

Those places are reserved for successful head coaches at big time programs which include nobody at tu since you hired Mack Brown from NC. Since then you've hired an assortment of clowns, idiots, a ftards. You haven't got your first choice since you hired Mack Brown. Clearly, a mark of a big time program is that you can hire your first choice. Unless you are stupid enough to hire a f-wad like Herman. You guys just suck it's effin awesome how much you suck and will continue to suck. The fact of the matter is, you might never be good again!

Oh come on. They suck, but they are a name brand. They probably are in the 10-15 range job right now.

Over the last 15 years A&M and UT are exactly tied for # of national championships won @ 0.
If you count national championship game appearances then Texas takes a 1 - 0 lead .....

Here is one distinction: the ability to hire a head coach from another P5 school (aka not the Big East or American conferences).
