College football analyst and insider Josh Pate has an intriguing pick for the best head coaching job in college football.
Pate argued that Kentucky is the best job in college football with the caveat that “winning titles” isn’t the expectation in Lexington. Pate explained his pick while appearing on an episode of The Volume with Colin Cowherd this week.
“You’ll think I’m joking with you, but Kentucky football would be the job I’d want to take,” Pate told Cowherd. “Mark Stoops makes close to $10 million per year, and the goal is to win seven games. It’s in rural Kentucky, you can be there forever, he’s got a massive buyout, and unlike most of these other guys, you can blend the SEC pay scale without the SEC pressure.
“I can’t believe people don’t look at Mark Stoops and say, ‘That guy figured it out.’”
This is a crazy detour to make on the best jobs in college football, but Pate might have a point due to there not being as much pressure on that job.
Pate said Georgia would be his pick for the best coaching job in college football if winning championships was the priority.
