3. Georgia Bulldogs

Nick Saban may think the Georgia job is the best in the SEC and he may be right in a few years, but today, the Bulldogs job takes the No. 3 spot. The biggest draw for a prospective for this job is the state of Georgia produces so much four and five-star talent each year and they get dibs on all of it.

They don’t have to worry about Georgia Tech so much because they run an archaic option offense that isn’t going to attract offensive players to that program. And if you’re a top defender in the state, why wouldn’t you want to play for the SEC program that just hired the top assistant to Saban who has helped send players to the NFL left and right?

The fan support is incredible and the Georgia fans proved that with an SEC record 93,000 at this year’s spring game. Just like their SEC East rival Florida, you can certainly make the case for Georgia being the best job in the SEC but in my eyes, it’s only the best in the SEC East, for now.
