College HC Position Rankings.

exactly

UCLA at 38?

bwahahahahaaaa yeah right

So why can't UCLA land a decent coach?

 

[bchampy]

Sure it does. Obviously a formula that uses coaching salary will favor the conference with the highest paid coaches, in this case the SEC. So again, more biased results.

IMO though, the best job pays the most. If Arkansas State paid me $5 mill, I would coach. Hell I would take 202K they pay their current coach.

Those coaches are the highest paid for a reason. 6 out of 10 National Championships were won by SEC teams.

The top teams from other conferences were consistently ranked high: OU, Texas, Ohio St, USC, etc

Because UCLA has consistently shown they will not pay a coach top dollar nor will they spend money on the program to support said coach

In other words... not a top coaching job.

Basically. If they had an AD that cared about football, they would own the Pac 12. They have every natural advantage you can get, but they're too damned cheap to be a contender. There's almost no point in firing any coach they get.

Petersen, Calhoun and who was the other person who turned UCLA down?

Not a top coaching job.

Didn't you just infer that UCLA is a top coaching job?

I can tell you that Clemson is severely underrated by this list just based on recruiting values alone.

 

[ckhokie]

I'm still confused as to how recruiting fits into being a good head coaching job. Isn't it the coaching staffs job to do the recruiting? There are probably only 7-10 schools that land recruits on school name alone.

May have to do with previously established recruiting pipelines? A lot of HS coaches stay at bigger programs for decades and sometimes have relationships with the school in addition to the current staff. Probably plays more of a role for in-state HS-college/university connections though

 

[starbigd]

It has to do with recruiting beds and access to local talent.

Take Tennessee. Or Nebraska. Very LITTLE local talent that's readily available. Those coaches have to go out of state to get talent. That's a hard sell for a lot of kids who want to play close to home. Recruiting impacts how easy a job is going to be for a coach to turn around.

I sent them an email asking "How do you quantify what conference a coach is in when developing your rankings for Best Head Coaching Jobs?"

This was the response:

Being in an AQ conference definitely makes one job more desirable than another in a non-AQ conference. They are weighted as such. Additionally the Big 10, Big 12, SEC and PAC 12 are also in a tier above the Big East and ACC...obviously.

So no concrete answer if you were looking for a "ranking" that a conference has in their "formula", but based on the response the B1G, B12, SEC, and P12 are above the ACC and BE which are above non-AQ's like the WAC and MWC.

Coaching salary at Clemson brings it down some too.

Thanks for checking. They still don't want to reveal it because it would be open to the scrutiny I give it. Those bastards!!!

Send them back an email that SportsHoopla demands to know the formula or don't bother wasting our time!

Yeah "she" loves doing that, makes wild accusations and claims, then goes whining to mods when people call her out on them. =\

I think mysfit is really a dude that knows he's such a huge bitch that it's easier to just present himself as a woman.

I could see it.

Interesting, even if it's not close to scientific. Donkey Boner!

Coaching salary at Clemson brings it down some too.

Where does that number come from? Butch Davis was getting paid over 2.2 mill and Larry Fedora will be getting paid 1.7 million a year, but UNCs coaching salary is 500,000
