THE 10 BEST JOBS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL, ACCORDING TO 247SPORTS

Like in every other industry in America, not all head coaching jobs in college football are created equal.

There are a handful of programs that are a full cut above the rest, thanks to large pools of resources, fertile recruiting bases, winning traditions, thriving fan bases or some combination of all of these factors. 

247Sports' Brad Crawford has published his take on the 10 best jobs in college football for this season and beyond. Right at the top is Georgia, which won back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022 and narrowly missed another playoff appearance last fall.

"Limitless resources. A talent pool with massive dividends. Top to bottom synergy throughout the program. No. 1 in this ranking of best jobs is up for debate, but the road to a national championship in the expanded College Football Playoff era will go through Georgia and that's a product of Kirby Smart tossing gasoline on a program that's always been capable of hitting nuclear levels," Crawford wrote. 

The top five jobs, per Crawford, are as follows:

  1. Georgia
  2. Texas
  3. Ohio State
  4. LSU
  5. Alabama

People who argue against SEC supremacy won't like this list, but it is undeniable how many outstanding jobs there are in the conference, especially with Texas and Oklahoma both joining. 

Not surprisingly, with great power comes great responsibility, so it shouldn't be too surprising that two of the five programs mentioned above have coaches who enter 2024 with a ton of pressure on their shoulders.

Ohio State's Ryan Day is facing a national championship-or-bust campaign, while Alabama's Kalen DeBoer has the unenviable task of replacing the legendary Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa.
