Athlon Sports - Ranking The ACC's Football Jobs

[TriStarCane]

Athlon released a ranking of the best jobs in our conference. The Canes were 4th behind FSU, Clemson and Virginia Tech. The summary is actually pretty spot on. On the one hand, we are in a world class city with the best prospects in the country outside our door. We have great weather, a great academic institution, a tradition of championships and a lot of success in the pros. Conversely, our facilities lack. Our fan support is small and sporadic and the off campus stadium is a huge issue. Where do you think we rank? What about when we are consistently winning? Good discussion topic.

4.70 (1)Miami is an interesting case study in pros and cons. On the positive side, the Hurricanes offer as much upside as any program in the nation, winning national titles in three different decades and have the easiest access to elite prospects of any program in the nation. But fan and administrative support is inferior to any nationally elite programs and the home-field advantage is non-existent. This is why The U was the only other team to get a first-place vote — and was voted ninth twice. -

I would love to send this blurb with this quote highlighted to someone at the Hecht for their comments. I wonder how they feel that the perception is they don't give a ****? They would probably be proud.

You forgot the "fan" part.

Not that the name above means much.

Anyone have Frenk's email yet?

It could be jfrenk@miami.edu

His current email address at Harvard is

Miami is only listed because of their recruiting base. Just think if our school was located somewhere like in the state of Tennessee or Indiana? We would probably have to drop football because of our poor administration and cheap nature.

Louisville, UNC, GT are all better programs imo.

 

[Problem2]

Send this **** to Frenk.

The part I don't get about these rankings is what information do they have about Miami's administrative support? How's that quantifiable?
And no, you can't point to Golden as a legit reason?
I don't have a problem with FSU and Clemson's ranking, but VT?

Are O-Line is extremely talented that first team O line that was predicted in this thread there are 4 STUDS and Gall is aloud should be ready.. I believe Kehoe will have these guys ready

 

[The Franchise]

When it comes to evaluating a HC job in college football the only thing that matters is the ability to win. Everything flows from there. You win and you get everything you want. At UM, you have the best chance to win in the country due to proximity to the best recruiting base in the world.

 

[5XNC]

What franchise said. This is one of the best jobs in the country for a good young coach. This is why UM will never be down got good and will always have a chance to be a top program.

We bak?

How are GT or Louisville close to better programs? Louisville is debatable, but you can't knock a program for having a recruiting base. That's a big reason why the best jobs are the best jobs.

 

[DMoney]

Virginia Tech?

Dumb list. Not surprised after seeing who voted on it.

 

[daU5]

They lost all credibility when they said there are very few cons at FSU - maybe they meant outside of the football program.

 

[Gatorhater]

Pros - Sun, more sun, girls, more girls, best weather in country, beaches, South Beach, more future NFL players within 40 minute drive and anywhere, simple fact that if you are a decent college coach you can come to Miami win a NC and be off to NFL in 4 or 5 years, only school that win NCs without good facilities, the one school where you can coach, win 10 games and make every other coach in the country start wearing Depends to sleep just in case.

Cons - BOT, administration -- rise and repeat. BUT any good coach can still win NC and go to NFL.

Virginia Tech?

Dumb list. Not surprised after seeing who voted on it.

Wait! No Susan Miller Dumbagain?!

Totally agree. The only thing UM ever had going for it was it's location relative to top recruits, the Orange Bowl and it's winning tradition. Two of those are gone and with the current leadership, there's no reason to think it'll get any better.
