In this new era of college football, where NIL is king, head-coaching jobs are valued differently now. But which colleges have the most coveted jobs in the country, even if they aren’t available right now?
Top 10 College Football Jobs in the NIL Era
On3 hosts Andy Staples and Ari Wasserman recently broke down their lists for which schools have the best jobs in this NIL era.
Here is what Wasserman had to say regarding where Texas is:
“No. 1 is Texas to me…I think Texas is a place that has been a bully…It’s a historical program…I would die to go to Texas.”
Wasserman also noted how he thinks the idea of being able to be the person who delivers on bringing a national title back to Austin could be too tough to pass up.
That could be what a lot of recruits and coaches are thinking about.
Following Texas on Wasserman’s list are the national champion Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, Texas A&M Aggies, LSU Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Alabama Crimson Tide, and Michigan Wolverines.
What Attracts Coaches and Recruits to These Schools?
These schools are attractive to head coaches and players for a number of reasons.
First of all, it is the atmosphere and the chance to win a national title that could motivate these players and coaches. Additionally, the financial side is now way more significant because of the rise of NIL.
However much money a school wants to offer either a coach or a player certainly matters. Then, there are other attractions such as the city and community around the program.
