Athlon: Ranking C-USA's Football Jobs
While I don't agree with all of the ranking (seems to me the salary and facilities would be larger factors), the comments are interesting. Thoughts?

14. Rice
13. UTEP
12. WKU
11. ODU
10. UTSA
9. Charlotte
8. FIU
7. UAB
6. MT
5. North Texas
4. Southern Miss
3. FAU
2. LA Tech
1. Marshall

I would like to know how many categories were evaluated to form this opinion.

Athlon is P5/BCS centric so anyone outside of that, it's dart tossed at a dart board for rankings

I think Western's rank on this list is the most egregious.

RE: Athlon: Ranking C-USA's Football Jobs
I’m not saying Marshall is hands down the best job, but it’s up there imho.

Just my take on some: ODU, WKU, and UNT are ranked too low. FAU and FIU too high. Perhaps Marshall a spot or two too high.

I would think relevant criteria are:

Fan base
Contract
Facilities
Program prestige
Recent success
Investment in football
City’s enthusiasm toward the program

UTEP is probably a worse job than Rice, but not by much. Both schools definitely belong at the bottom.

Besides WKUs last 5-6 years before last year and their 2002 National Title over McNeese State, WKU for the most part has been a 4-6 win team over their life. Sure they had moderate success when they were senior heavy sometimes but overall its been tough sledding in Bowling Green KY. Also they have always put basketball 1st.

No complaints from me for UTSA other than there being no way on Science's green Earth that Charlotte should be ahead of us. That's a real head scratcher, especially when you consider what they wrote for both schools.

Western has the 1st or 2nd highest winning % in CUSA...dont have the time to look it but I believe its 1st

Winning % and total games played

Old Dominion 0.628...121

Western Kentucky 0.587...1005

Southern Miss 0.58...1039

Middle Tennessee 0.573...1039

Louisiana Tech 0.57...1114

Marshall 0.517...1171

North Texas 0.502...1041

UTSA 0.463...82

UAB 0.444...284

Rice 0.439...1108

Florida Atlantic 0.422...205

UTEP 0.403...1005

That's one of many criteria. You also just fired a coach after two years. Makes the job less attractive. You have typically smaller fan bases in ratio to team performance. The fan base is basketball centric. Not much wrong with his take on WKU, but I agree it's a bit low. The right guy lives like a king in BG. Brohm had anything he wanted except a P5 patch.

RE: Athlon: Ranking C-USA's Football Jobs
Isn't Athlon a publication primarily owned & managed by a Vanderbilt dude or dudes? They could care less about MT, Western KY, or any CUSA school. They did no research at all in compiling their ranking. They are all about the SEC first, last and always. One of the Athlon writers is a VU grad, who serves as sideline reporter on Vandy football radio broadcasts on game days. 03-puke His point of view is obvious.
