Such a damn shame for a historically proud and successful program who has experienced far more success than the majority of the schools in this conference.


SEC JOB RANKINGS:

1. Kentucky – 256 (16)
2. Texas – 222
3. Arkansas – 218
4. Tennessee – 212
5. Florida – 210
6. Texas A&M – 148
7. Alabama – 146
8. Missouri – 140
9. Auburn – 138
10. LSU – 110
11. Georgia – 100
12. Vanderbilt – 88
13. Ole Miss – 72
14. Oklahoma – 60
15. Mississippi State – 32
16. South Carolina – 24
 
An outright ranking as opposed to a tierring makes it look worse but hard to argue that OU is a top half job in the SEC.

Reality of NIL & the investments made by Castiglione over the last 25 years.
 
Yikes. Based on "tradition" (meaning "on the court results") Kentucky is clearly #1 and Florida (with three titles this century) #2. After that, I would put Arkansas at #3, while #4 and #5 are Oklahoma and Texas (order is debatable). Whichever school is #6 has no argument for the top-5. To be listed at #14 out of #16 on the best jobs list is not easy on the eyes at all.
 
As far as on court results, no way Texas is above OU, even with the moser era. The OU job has lost a lot of luster but it’s still a better job than most of the SEC. Only Kentucky, Arkansas, and Florida can claim to be better on the court.

If we’re strictly talking money, then yes, we’re at the bottom.
 
OU>Texas. Not debatable. 😀

Perhaps not debatable on an OU board, but debatable anywhere else. Our all-time NCAA tournament resume is more impressive than Texas because they never had an 8-year run like Billy Tubbs had in the 1980s. They don't have 5 FFs with 3 in the modern era. So, yes, it's okay to put us at #4. But in fairness, I'm not going to act like a 16-33 record against them since Kelvin took OU to the Final Four is "meaningless". Them basically owning us in head-to-head competition for nearly a quarter century is relevant to tradition. The "weight" is what is debatable. I didn't bury the lead, though, in my prior post. Whether we're #4 or #5 tradition-wise, it's pathetic that we're regarded as one of the worst jobs in the conference.

Moser's record against Texas has absolutely made it lopsided. Absolutely unacceptable.

OU still holds the all time win/loss record against Texas. OU has a better history than Texas in everything except all time ncaa tourney appearances. Not debatable who has had the better all time history.

Unfortunately their program is light years ahead of OU in the NIL era. Not debatable who is in better shape right now.
 
I wish they would do a poll ranking the best coaching jobs in the sense of, which coach in the conference has done the best job this season. Finally a competition Loser would win -- and he would have such a big lead, even he wouldn't be able to blow it!

I don't like to use the head-to-head edge argument since that edge happened when most of the people of this board were not even born. Also, if we use that argument, then Texas gets to boast about their head-to-head football advantage despite that dominance coming before WWII. I don't like the fact that they have dominated us in hoops for the better part of a quarter century. At some point, we need to start winning some of these games if we want to say our tradition tops theirs.
