There are college football programs and then there are the college football programs that are synonymous with the very fabric of the game. The kind that lures some of the best head coaches in the history of the sport.
It’s not just tradition though that makes a college job desirable. You have to have great support, great facilities, a great fanbase, and more. Some things are even less tangible like the location and quality of life.
When you think of the best college jobs in the country, Ohio State will be on the shortlist of almost every single list out there, and if it’s not, then I would significantly question the ability of said media member or outlets ability to hold a coherent conversation.
The Athletic recently polled (subscription required) (counting fingers) a lot of coaches and staff (over 100) to rank the best college football jobs in the country, and as you would expect, Ohio State is very high on the list.
But how high did OSU land and what was said about the appeal of THE Ohio State University?
