Auburn was ranked ninth. Now it's your turn to rank the jobs. Do you agree or disagree?

Agree or disagree, its come a long way in the last 4 years. I got sick and tired of all talking head morons saying how no good coaches would want to put up with the scrutiny and "medlling". Just needed a coach with a backbone, and an AD that can raise funds like no body's business.

Auburn in the top ten and Notre Dame, Michigan, and USC are not? Honestly if Notre Dame needed a coach and so did Auburn where would you go?

USC tanked because of the sanctions. Michigan will improve but Rich-Rod set them back a few years.

As for Notre Dame, there are many jobs I'd take over going there. Notre Dame is one of the few schools where a coach would face more scrutiny than at Bama. They are more pomp and pageantry than anything these days. Indiana isn't exactly a hot bed of talent so they have to go outside the state. Notre Dame hasn't been a force in years. The recruits of today want to see some form of progress so they feel they will be a part of something big. They will have a hard time recruiting against the schools in major conferences.

I agree on the Notre Dame assessment. In addition to Duder's points, ND has VERY high minimum academic acceptance standards which even further limits talent to a degree. ND hasn't been a legitimate force for quite some time, their stadium - while steeped in history - is actually pretty lame and they have mediocre at best work-out and practice facilities, too. All of these things and the fact that they still refuse to join the Big Ten makes it all the much more of an uphill battle to field excellent teams consistently. Definitely not the same "glamour" factor it had 20 years ago.
