This article ranked every D1 coaching job. Has Nebraska at 19. Seems nuts considering we are blue blood. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/ranking-all-130-college-football-coaching-jobs-2019
Do you agree with this?

Just some guy's opinion. I guess the basics make sense.. the best jobs will have some elements of fan base support, history, recruiting talent nearby.. you could probably jumble them up into good, better, and best categories, just on the basis of what a coaching job pays alone.
If a program hired Mike Riley, they aren't even deserving of being a top 20 ranking.
Once we start winning again, that will change.
I actually can understand given our past 20 years. We have been kind of an afterthought. Hopefully HCSF will change that narrative soon.
Every school makes bone-headed hires. We've just made poor AD hires, which resulted in back to back to back poor coaching hires. But even then, who thought Pederson would botch his hire as badly as he did? And TO didn't make a 'bad' hire per se. Bo was just stubborn, and wouldn't change his defense to suite our new conference. But Perlman went completely rogue and made the absolute worst hire he could manage.
Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, USC, Florida State, Washington, A&M, Texas, Michigan, Notre Dame.. All have made poor coaching hires in the last 20 years. Alabama is a good example of another program that made multiple poor hires in a row. Note Dame as well. Even Oklahoma had 3 bad hires in a row.
Problem is that the talent has dried up in the program. Two draft picks in the past 3 years. That's not attractive for prospective coaches thus lower rating. We need to be aware the difficulty Frost has in front of him and that we are fortunate he came here instead of taking a different job.
I hope Frost and staff will prove different. But at this point I don’t care what staff is in place I just want to get back to winning consistently!
But, but, he won a title in the CFL! Harvey and Shawn told me. Apparently you didn’t get the memo, eh?
You honestly believe The Nebraska coaching job isn't better than 19th. That teams like Washington, Oregon, Tenn, Texas AM are better? get real man.
I feel like this dude was taking the browns to the super bowl when he wrote this article on his smart phone or tablet, case in point:
95. Central Michigan
Let that "logic" set in.
