USU Tier 4 Job

Post by Texasaggie1 » June 10th, 2020, 12:13 pm

Ouch this article has USU listed as a Tier 4 (5 being the worst) type of Coaching Job
https://www.espn.com/college-football/i ... ve-group-5

Notables:
Tier 1 - Donkey U
Tier 2: BYU and San Diego State
Tier 3: Air Force, CSU, Wyoming, Fresno State, and a lot more crappy schools

I really can't see Air Force or Wyoming being a better coaching spot than USU.

Which tier most accurately describes USU?

Tier 3 jobs: Some resource or location limitations but enough to make bowl games consistently and challenge for conference titles; a restricted but decent recruiting pool of regional or national prospects; a rare New Year's Six appearance is the ceiling; not a realistic candidate for Power 5 expansion.

Tier 4 jobs: Moderate challenges with finances, facilities or program support; requires a unique approach in recruiting to compete with upper-tier teams in their leagues; bowl eligibility is a realistic goal most seasons, with some 10-win seasons from time to time; not much sustained history of success.

I could see USU as a tier 3, but I think what bumps us down to a tier 4 is that last line, "...not much sustained history of success". I think we've corrected the ship, but the 4 decades of mediocre/less than mediocre football before Gary 1.0 is going to take some time to overcome.

Not sure how you could even put BYU on a list like that. On paper, sure they probably got it right but so much goes into hiring the coach that it's not a conventional landing spot.

I have no clue how Air Force gets above USU but I can see Wyoming and maybe CSU being above. The Aggies are clearly the third fiddle in Utah while CSU and Wyoming have a little more weight in their state, especially Wyoming.

I would say we are an upper Tier 4 as the bottom and a mid Tier 3 as our ceiling.

Yeah can't say I disagree with us being Tier 4 based on their metric. Sucks but I think we all know that in reality.

Tier 2 jobs: Solid footing with finances, facilities and support; access to good regional recruiting areas; competes often for league championships, regularly makes bowls and occasionally challenges for the New Year's Six; some history of wins against the Power 5 (recent or long term); solid local or regional fan base.

No way does BYU meet these criteria! :-( They are not part of a league to compete for a championship in, and they are never going to a NY6 bowl.

USU is right as a tier 4 school we face problems with budget, location, small stadium, I could care less about YBU.

If it is important for you folks to get better than BYU then give money, go to games so that stadium expansion is needed, having the smallest stadium of any western FBS program is a example of what most of the problem is at USU.

Seems about right to me. We live in a relatively small state, but yet have 3 DI football teams. We are for sure behind them in terms of money and fan base. We also are not in a recruiting hotbed and require the missionary program to be successful. Logan is also not a destination hot bed for most recruits. I love USU and am proud to be an Aggie, but am also realistic. My goal is to have consistent decent seasons with bowl eligibility. This sprinkled in with the occasional 10 win season and contention for conference championships every few years and I am satisfied. If we can continue on with the success we have experienced over the last 8 years I am satisfied.

Wyo only because it's literally the only game in town with ZERO competition. Fresno State? Meh... maybe in the past.

The only MWC teams with a better in-conference record over the last 5 years are BSU, SDSU, and AFA.

I'd say our coaching and training staff have done fairly well for being in a "Tier 4" job situation.

I'll regret giving this praise halfway through the season when I undoubtedly start cursing the coaching again.

We are institutionally unique in our standing and history, having absolutely squandered the football momentum from the 1960's and mid 70's. Schools are rated on what they have done, not where they are currently going. The burden is on us to enthuse about our school with friend, neighbors and business associates. I have to concern myself with Utah State as I can't do anything about our competitors.

Looking at the TIER Ratings I would say: THAT WAS THEN, AND THIS IS NOW. The future is in our hands and is our responsibility folks.

I'm not sold that the people that put this together (or similar lists) are all that familiar with the actual status of each program. At bare minimum, you would think it would be easy to look up winning %'s, bowl appearances, things that are quantifiable, etc. Beyond that, it requires more research and hands on time than what can probably reasonably be dedicated to such an article. Stating things like "[Boise St.] easily has the best facilities in the Mountain West...." is just lazy. I'm not even sure you could find a Bronco fan that would argue that.

It's painful to see it in print but it's probably true. I do see us fitting into the Tier 3 category though.

I think you could argue we are just as appealing of a job as CSU, Wyoming, Air Force etc.

I wonder if they did something like this in basketball where we would rate in the conference? Unlv,m and SDSU the top and then New Mexico. Then us and Nevada? I’d say Boise but they don’t really have great support.

I don’t post on here much, but Boise state does have the best facilities in the MW. I’m not saying that the other schools don’t have decent facilities, but the money put into the football program at Boise State is noticeable when you walk through the facilities.

Not saying you are wrong as I’m not familiar with other schools facilities in the conference. But have you been through the other schools facilities to validate your opinion?

ESPN puts schools like Boise and BYU st the top of their rankings because ESPN is promoting their product. It’s sports fake news. ESPN doesn’t make money by having unbiased opinions. It makes money by driving people to their product.

If anyone puts Boise in tier 1 compared to Alabama, LSU or any other job- they are high on crack.

In the FBS world we are tier 3/4. Pay sucks, we don’t have the resources, facilities, or ability to recruit that most of the P5 has.

Guess why ESPN talks incessantly about LeBron and ignores Ovie or Carey Price? Because ESPN has the broadcast rights to the NBA and not the NHL.

If I am not mistaken, the new MWC media rights deal is with CBS Sports and FOX, not ESPN, so that eliminates Boise State from that equation.

Didn’t Boise retain negotiation rights after he NMX predictably caved?

USU is a tier 4 coaching job. That's fine. We've got our coach.

We also got the right coach. A guy that wants to be here and will last the 4 years any kid commits to our program. Matt could have been that guy, but he ultimately didn't want to be here. Matt might have been a better x's and o's coach than Gary..... I say might because I'm not fully convinced. But Gary IS a much better ambassador of the program and representative of our University. He was the right hire and we should consider ourselves lucky.

In the 60's we were a great program. In the 90's/00's we might have been the worst Division 1 program in the country.
Today we are a very respectable program, with good facilities that has been a consistent winner the last 10 years. We are trending up and we should be proud.

The blue turf automatically disqualifies them from having the best facilities. Sorry, I don't make the rules

I know Maverick is not the nicest stadium with the nicest amenities, but I love watching football games from it. The sight lines are great, the seats are elevated from the field, the fans are right on top of the field making it a good home field advantage when full. The scenery looking to the west and east is second to none in the MW in my opinion.

I personally haven’t, but I have heard that Boise State has P5 type of facilities and I have seen pictures of other schools facilities as well.

I don’t post on here much, but Boise state does have the best facilities in the MW. I’m not saying that the other schools don’t have decent facilities, but the money put into the football program at Boise State is noticeable when you walk through the facilities.

Sorry but without question Colorado State has the best facilities in the MW.
I strongly disagree. I would definitely say that they have a nicer stadium (by far), but their facilities aren’t even close to what Boise has.

I'm not sold that the people that put this together (or similar lists) are all that familiar with the actual status of each program.

Not saying you are wrong as I’m not familiar with other schools facilities in the conference. But have you been through the other schools facilities to validate your opinion?
I personally haven’t, but I have heard that Boise State has P5 type of facilities and I have seen pictures of other schools facilities as well.
Got it, you’ve seen pictures. Which means you know about as much as the rest of us including the writer of this article.

I recall hearing a few years ago that USU's weight room was the best in the West and on par with many other P5 weight rooms across the country. Just because I heard it doesn't make it true, even though I have seen pictures of weight rooms at other schools.

I would also venture that most D1 programs have "P5-type" facilities just not as grandiose.

I invite you to look up or even tour the facilities in the mwc. If you come back and honestly tell me that bsu doesn’t have the best facilities, I will take your word. Look at recruiting, there must be some reason why higher profile recruits choose Boise over the other mw teams. None of you will accept it is because they are substantially better at the sport, so there must be some reason for it...
