ESPN Insider (pay site) just released a story that ranks the top 24 college football coaching jobs in America.
The list is based on one main question: If every Power 5 job came open tomorrow, which would be the most desirable?
The criteria includes factors such as location, administrative stability, support from those bosses, facilities, recruiting base, path to conference titles/playoff, sense of tradition, fervor of fan base, too much fervor from a fan base, etc.
Both Michigan and Michigan State were represented.
The Wolverines checked in at No. 14, while the Spartans were ranked No. 20.
Michigan was praised for its administrative support, quality of academics, athletic facilities, and winning tradition.
Michigan State is mainly credited for their facilities, recent track record of being a perennial top 15 team, and also their history of producing NFL players.
A complete list of ESPN's top 24 jobs are as follows:
1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. USC
4. Ohio State
5. Florida
6. LSU
7. Florida State
