247Sports Names The No. 1 Job In College Football
On Wednesday morning, one college football reporter thought it would be a good idea to anger the masses by ranking the best coaching jobs in the country.
Of course, everyone has their own opinion about what the best job in the country is. Brad Crawford of 247Sports did his best to rank the best job by the following criteria: program prestige, location, facilities, money and recruiting potential.
Unsurprisingly, the teams that have had recent success in the College Football Playoff were near the top of the list. There is only one program, though, that can sit at the top. That honor went to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Here’s what Crawford had to say:
With six national championships in just over a decade-plus with the Crimson Tide, Nick Saban has ascended to uncharted heights at Alabama. This program has been the standard for success across college football and this train has shown no signs of slowing down. Saban has signed a slew of No. 1 recruiting classes and has cashed in on all of them. Not only is he the most respected public employee in Alabama, he’s the highest-paid too. Alabama ranks high in terms of prestige, money and players — what more do you want when you’re tasked with competing against other perennial powers every weekend in the SEC? Also, no program has put more players in the NFL over the past decade, either.
Nick Saban has turned the Crimson Tide into one of the most dominant forces across the sporting world – not just college football. It’s no surprise, then, to see Alabama sitting at No. 1.
Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson and LSU rounded out the top five after Alabama took home the top spot.
