10 Most Desirable College Football Coaching Jobs

FSU 10 After posting the best recruiting class in the country, Florida State  currently has the ninth-best recruiting class in the country.  Although the Seminoles are located in Florida, which is arguably the best location for recruiting, they do not rely too heavily on prospects from the state of Florida as they recruit pretty well nationally.
Alabama 9 
'Bama owns the second-best recruiting class in the country.  This recruiting class features many players from the recruiting hotbed that is Alabama, but it also features recruits from all over the south.
Florida 8 The Gators feature the fifth-best recruiting class in the country, and much like their rivals, Florida State, they do a great job at assembling their recruiting class with a blend of recruits ranging from Florida all the way up to the Midwest.
Texas 7 For the most part, The Longhorns own one of the best recruiting classes in the country every year; this year is no exception as Texas ranks second in the nation.  Although Texas perennially has some of the best recruits in the country, Texas relies too much on its region as it only has one out-of-state commit.
Michigan 6 The Wolverines have the best recruiting class in the country as they have dominated the state of Michigan and the rest of the Midwest.  Although Michigan is not the best state in terms of recruiting, Michigan has established a pipeline throughout the whole Midwest and has even poached a couple recruits from the West Coast.
LSU 5 The Tigers currently have the seventh-best recruiting class in the country.  They have a solid recruiting base in Louisiana and are decent when recruiting nationally.
Notre Dame 4 The Fighting Irish have the 11th-best recruiting class in the country.  Recruiting in Indiana is decent at best, so the Irish look nationally to fill the bulk of their recruiting class.  Because of this the Irish lack a consistent recruiting pipeline.
Ohio State 3 The Buckeyes' recruiting class ranks 14th so far this year, a ranking that is diminutive compared to the rankings they have posted in recent years.  This recent struggle is most likely due to the scandals they have faced this past year, in this time Michigan has taken over the state of Ohio and it might be hard for Ohio State to regain their dominance on the recruiting trail.
Oklahoma 2 The Sooners' recruiting class is currently ranked 13th in the nation.  The state of Oklahoma does not have very many highly rated recruits making the Sooners have to rely on national recruiting to keep their recruiting class near the top.
USC 1 Although California is a great recruiting state, Southern Cal has struggled on the recruiting trail thus far.  USC has no commits outside of California, and is really hurting recruiting-wise.
Michigan 10 Most all-time wins, best winning percentage, second-most national championships and most all-time conference championships.  What more can I say?
Notre Dame 9 Seven national championships, third-most all-time wins and tied for most Heisman winners.
Texas 8 Four national championships, second-most all-time wins and two Heisman winners.
Alabama 7 Most national championships, 22 conference championships, sixth-most all-time wins and only one Heisman winner, but another one could be on the way as Trent Richardson is a front-runner for this year's award.

6 Seven national championships, fifth-most all-time wins, 35 conference championships and tied for most Heisman winners.
Oklahoma 5 Seven national championships, eighth-most all-time wins and fourth-most Heisman winners.

LSU 7 LSU has the 10th-biggest stadium in the country and had the eighth-largest average attendance in 2010.  LSU's fans are known to produce more noise than anyone else in the country.

Oklahoma 4 Oklahoma does not have the biggest stadium in the country, but it fills it up every game.

USC 1 Southern Cal features the ninth-largest stadium in the nation, but if the team isn't winning the fans don't show up, as an average of 14,000 seats were left empty each game last season.

Alabama 9 Alabama has 13 national championships in its history and won the national championship in 2009.  Alabama is pretty much a lock to be in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game, as it is ranked second in the country with no games left.
USC 8 Southern Cal has 10 national championships in its history and has won two in the past eight years.  Look for USC to be in contention for next year's national championship.

Notre Dame 3 Notre Dame has 11 national championships in its history, with its most recent coming in 1988.  Notre Dame has come into the past couple seasons with high expectation that never really panned out, and the Irish will have to reverse that trend if they plan on contending for a national championship anytime soon.
Michigan 2 Michigan has won 11 national championships in its history, with its most recent coming in 1997.  After a few bad years, Michigan is finally back to national prominence as a BCS bowl may be in their near future.
FSU 1 Florida State has won two national championships in its history, both coming in the 1990s.  Although the Seminoles have had a disappointing season, the future looks bright for the Seminoles.
