Last week I ranked the best coaching jobs in college football, and this week I wanted to look at another side of it — the most overrated jobs in college football. It should be said that none of these are even remotely bad jobs. These people all get paid millions of dollars to oversee football programs. In fact, these are some of the very best jobs on planet Earth. It’s just they’re maybe not quite as great as some of the other very best jobs in college football.

Here’s the list:

7. Nebraska

Nebraska has a rabid fanbase, a massive program, a spot in an elite conference … and is missing the recruiting base to truly capitalize on it. Nebraska as a state just doesn’t have the population or talent pool of other big programs, and so the school must travel, and get creative, in its recruiting. That makes this an attractive job, but an extremely difficult one — where do you go to find the players?

6. Vanderbilt

The one SEC job that just doesn’t look like it’d be that much fun. Vanderbilt is just at such a disadvantage when it comes to, well, everything regarding football. Kentucky — the other punching bag of the SEC East — at least considers itself a basketball school, so the pressure on the coach wouldn’t be as profound. Vandy expects to hang, but man, is it hard to hang in the SEC.

5. West Virginia

Another team that, like Nebraska, has a passionate fanbase, a spot in an elite conference, and is sadly lacking the talent pool in-state to truly challenge the big programs of the nation. This table, from SB Nation, tells the tale: In the last 5 years, West Virginia hasn’t produced one “blue chip” recruit. Other states in that boat: Vermont, Wyoming and Maine.

4. UCLA

The Bruins keep improving, and smart new branding (thanks, Snoop Dogg!) make this a program that’s up and on the rise. It’s just: I wouldn’t want to play next to (and recruit against) the USC Trojans. Would you?

3. Miami

A program with a rich history, powerful alumni, and a strong brand, all of which put expectations sky high. But the realities of the program make it so, so difficult to succeed. Miami is the third biggest team in Florida now behind UF and FSU, with UCF, FIU and South Florida all nipping at their heels in the recruiting game.

Miami is in the ACC, which just doesn’t have the resources of the SEC, and it is not even the big ACC honcho in the state, a title that belongs to the Seminoles. Huge expectations and depleted resources? That makes this a tough, tough job.

2. Penn State

A great program, great recruiting base, passionate fans, a wonderful stadium, and a long history. All great things for the school, but Penn State is still recovering from (and trying to come to terms with) a sexual abuse scandal, one that rocked the foundation of the program.

James Franklin is trying to put his stamp on the Nittany Lions, but the ghost of Joe Paterno hangs over everything, and with the powerful alumni refusing to move on, this is a job I for one wouldn’t want to have.

1. Notre Dame

A program’s history is great. But when it is so loaded, so overwhelming, that history can become stifling. Notre Dame’s alumni still considers the program a national powerhouse, when that just might not be the case. At times this feels like a 20th century program trying to remain relevant in the 21st century. Some high schoolers will fall in love with the history of the Fighting Irish, but plenty of others don’t care at all.

The team still regularly gets top recruiting classes (they’re still one of the best schools at recruiting nationally), but the weight of that program’s history and the difficulties hanging with the powerhouses of the big conferences make this a job that is supremely tough, and plenty overrated.
