Default One of the Nation's Underrated Coaching Jobs? South Carolina

http://espn.go.com/college-football/...ng-jobs-nation


Now, ESPN says these jobs are the most underrated jobs in the country mainly because they all have big stadiums, multimillion-dollar salaries, fertile recruiting grounds, and rabid and supportive fan bases. However, the pressure to win is a lot less than they are at the perrenial powerhouses. Most of these jobs are also glorified launching pads to the more prestigious programs or the NFL.

Quote:
South Carolina: The Gamecocks have always had one of the country's most loyal fan bases, and now coach Steve Spurrier is giving them something to cheer about. After taking over a program that didn't win a bowl game until 1995, Spurrier guided the Gamecocks to their first SEC East title in 2010 and first 11-win season in 2011. The Gamecocks' facilities are on par with anyone else in the SEC, and the school's proximity to Atlanta helps in recruiting.

The others listed are:
Houston
Louisville
Michigan State
North Carolina
Oklahoma State
Stanford
Texas A&M
TCU
Washington

Wasnt it Chris Low who recently said our facilities weren't on par with the conference but this guy says they are.



Honestly at this point in CFB journalism the only people I'm listening to are Ivan Maisel, Pat Forde and Bruce Feldman. (Funny howtwo of them left ESPN)

It's the off season. Sports writers have to have something to write about.

You could put both on there really.

And I would not have Stanford and Oklahoma State on this list.

Stanford has NC game expectations now - even if the rest of the nation doesn't share their expectations. The last coach and the last QB have cast some big shadow that the current guys are expected to carry on without drop off. Once Stanford see that they wont be ass successful this year as they were in the Luck years, they will want to fire Shaw.
