  • What Would YOU Consider the Top 5 Coaching Positions in NCAA DII Football

    Just read Gene Frenette's article on D2 HomePage about Valdosta State's HC Kerwin Bell, "Bell Rebounds From JU (Jacksonville State) Divorce, Leads Valdosta State Back To Prominence". Great story. Of course, I stole my thread title from a comment Bell mentioned in the story, that being at Valdosta State in DII Football is like being at a Ohio State of the Big Ten, or Florida of the SEC. Interesting.

    So curious, what would YOU consider to be the Top Five head coaching positions in NCAA DII? Throw in a couple Honorable Mentions if you want.

        These three along with Pitt State and either IUP or TAMUK would be mine.

            It's going to take moving a mountain to get TAMUK back into the category.

            I hope it happens sooner rather than later. We have a new AD and new President and they need to get to work and fast. When I see construction trailers and equipment around the stadium, I will be on board. Until then I don't hold out much hope this program will ever been in a situation to compete against our conference counterparts who are spending millions on new facilites or upgrades while we sit on our ass and hope history continues to see us through the storm. Yes it's discouraging as heck for lack of a better way to put it.

              West GA has great facilities and recruiting base so I would add them.

                  What makes a Top 5 coaching job??? Money? Location? Prestige of program? Great fan base? Cooperative administration? Nice office? Great facilities? Pretty unis? :wink:

                      Most of those are probably key components. Cooperative administration and supportive alumni/fan base is very important. Great facilities and location helps with recruiting. Is there ever enough money? Prestige of the program is important. But it is also easy to lose.

                      As discussed earlier, Texas A&I/A&M Kingsville was a prestige program for decades. But this last decade the prestige has become a bit tarnished. The band barely knows how to play Jalisco anymore.

                          Grand Valley, Valdosta, NW Missouri, Pitt St are for sure

                          The 5th spot is a toss up and is probably more to do with their importance in developing young men in their regions

                              There is a ton of talent in GA and FL, a lot of great talent that is either undersized or a tad slow for D1 or grades not quite up to D1 standards that could and should be filling up the D2 ranks in that region. Looked like UWF was doing that quickly last year.
