Did Stephan A Smith really make 100 3 pointers in a row & dunk on prime Shaq in the hood LEGENDARY
Misread the title as MOST ATTRACTIVE MEN and was very confused
But you were still quick to click on the video
Well, with Jay Wright out of the game, the title is up for grabs ...
No Duke or UK?? absolute joke of a list
This isn’t all time … I believe this is currently
@@ryanlebard3787still, UK is a top 5 job, you wouldn’t have any problem attracting recruits and transfers there, cal drove it into the ground because he only wanted freshmen instead of a combo of freshmen, transfers, and seniors leadership, UK job is top 2 job comparable to UNC in my opinion
@@zingo487Cal drove it into the ground, yet he was the reason you got those recruits? He resurrected that program. Top 2 job? Not without Cal. Duke is easily over UK. NC reigns supreme, UConn has overtaken UK as a top 5 job. Texas has a ridiculous fan base without winning and Kansas is over UK
@@juicelord4792people forget Kentucky was not doing good before cal got there.
@@juicelord4792 Kentucky is over both Unc and duke all time and it’s not even close Lmfao. You clearly haven’t looked this up… go look up any poll and get back with me. The two front running programs all time are Kentucky at 1 and unc in 2nd place trailing close if anything. And Kentucky was consistently in the mix in the early 2000s and let’s not forget they dominated and had the best runs in college basketball history in the late 90s
“…you’re always distracting from the focus…THE FOCUS.” 😂😂😂😂
Stephen A and Molly got their outfits coordinating to the shoes 😂
This is probably the dumbest & most disrespectful list I’ve ever seen. In order
UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, UConn
Duke, UNC, UK, Kansas, UConn. Honorable mentions UCLA, Michigan, Florida.
1. UNC
2. Duke
3. Kentucky
4. Kansas
5. Uconn
Sounds about right ▶️
You really think Kentucky is the 3rd best job?
@antaviouswilliams208 without a doubt. But long as these 5 teams are at the top, order isn't that big of an issue.
TARHEELS🏀 🏆 4 LIFE 🙌🏽💪🏽🔥!!!
@kingcollins3965 I don't think it is because how horrible the fanbase can get. They probably have the worst fanbase when it comes to expectations. Calipari was dealing with death threats.
Gonzaga a top 5 job LMAOO
@@user-nr5he3ic9oit’s not a top 5 job though
It absolutely is. A down year is 20 plus wins. And no pressure of being fired.
Imo the top 5 most attractive jobs are:
1. Kansas - only won 4 titles in their school history and rarely pressures coaches to have to win titles to keep their job. Recruits well and has a very supportive fanbase.
2. Florida - For mostly the same reasons as the KU job. Their previous HC Mike White was mediocre for many years and they never fired him. It’s also easy to recruit in the state of Florida for the best players.
3. UNC - Great tradition and history, very supportive fanbase and alumni. Lots of pressure to win titles. But they recruit very well and have all the necessary resources and facilities to win.
4. UConn - There’s a high standard to win there but for the players that they recruit and the culture that they’ve built is fantastic for winning in March. The only reason why this job is lower than the other ones on this list is because of recruiting as UConn does not always consistently recruit well and often have to rely on landing talented transfers to win which can be hit or miss.
5. UCLA - Easy to recruit in one of the biggest markets. They are a sleeping giant that does need the right coach to resurrect their program like Nick Saban did for Alabama. But if they ever get resurrected, there are many benefits that comes with that job.
I didn’t put Duke in here because Coach K’s shadow puts a huge pressure on whomever that takes that job to have to succeed consistently on a high level. Also omitted Kentucky for similar reasons as their fanbase is toxic and wants a coach gone as soon as the coach is not winning titles.
honestly though, I agree on Duke and UK, but doesn't UConn have the same issue? how are you gonna make it in the shadow of the greatest modern basketball program in the NCAA?
Uconn won 4 championships without transfers
1. UNC 2. Duke 3. UK 4. Kansas 5. UCLA Honorable Mentions: UConn, Gonzaga, Michigan, Texas
I played college basketball. I have been to all these places and know someone who played for all of them except Gonzaga. My list would be Kansas (Great recent and past tradition) 2. UCONN (Best Recruiting Territory for Basketball. Who cares about storrs. You aren't far from Boston or NYC) 3. UNC (The Goat played there-6 Nattys) 4. Duke (Coach K is the GOAT for coaches) 5.Kentucky (Stop playing dude. They haven't won the natty in years but it is still KY. Great players go there still). Now if UCONN wins another one I will put them at the top because to me a great job is can you get who you want to play there? Do they have nice facilities? Is Basketball a thing there or back seat to football? Can they pay you in line with the top coaches. Coaching at the fives schools listed would be a destination job. These are pure basketball places.
A lot of top prep schools are in the northeast near Uconn as well which gets overshadowed
@@brendanpardy7329 Excellent Point!
They didn't name Kentucky because how bad the fanbase is. They literally send death threats to the coaches when they lose.
Last 11 Michigan Seasons
7 sweet 16s
4 elite 8s
2 final fours
2 national championship appearances
LOL you think espn people actually KNOW sports? They're all idiots - I watch purely for entertainment.
they were a good program but had a rough season this year. more of a footbal school nowadays. with beilene it felt like they were always in the mix of contenders. but only one ncaa title and it was in the 80s
I didn't know it couple dress alike day 🤣🤣🤣
literally none of these places have openings. what a dumb idea for a list. should have been teams that need a coach, or might be looking
That's exactly what I was thinking. I thought the list was gonna be about open jobs. Completely pointless.
UNC/Duke, Kentucky, UCLA, UCONN, Kansas
They're all tough jobs but the blue blood prestige and history is unrivaled and they all elevate basketball when either of them are in the Final Four.
Gotta mention Vince Carter with Unc too
Duke and UNC
Not having duke in there is actually insane and ima UNC fan🙃
Kentuckys brand and program is better than both and they’re not on the list either
This isn’t an all time list… this is currently
@@isaiahevans4930 Lol...ok.
@@ryanlebard3787no but it's the most attractive coaching Job list so how do you have North Carolina but you don't have duke?? Impossible
Kentucky doesn’t have a better brand or program than UNC . How about beat Oakland first 😂
Yo. Why did Vancouver catch a stray just like that?
It’s Kentucky, UNC, and Duke. This guy is crazy.
Tom Crean ! Screams the right coach for KY right now ! 👍😉
i read this video title wrong at first and was like huhh???😭
That list is legit mad dogg 👍😂
UNC v Duke is like the Xavier v U Cincinnati rivalry on crack tbf
Just imagine living in the area. I stay 30-45 minutes from UNC, Duke, and NC State. Atmosphere is crazy qhen they play each other. Not only that its around 30 universities within a hour and a half radius and majority of them are well known Universities throughout the South.
Kansas, UNC, Duke, Kentucky, UCLA
I was covering half the title of this video with my thumb and I thought he was ranking the most attractive men in sports 😂
😂😂😂😂
1 North Carolina
2 Kansas
3 Kentucky
4 UCLA
5 Arizona
Honorable mentions Duke Louisville NC State Indiana Syracuse
NCST and Louisville should not sniff this list lol
No UConn?? Lol
Duke needs to be on that list
6 championships in 26 years is amazing.
Georgetown should be on the list and Michigan too
Bill self isnt going anywhere
I love my mad dog 🤣👍💯
Lord knows ima ride wit em....buh TX ?
If we are talking about prestige then it would be 1. UCLA 2. UK 3. UNC 4. Duke 5. Kansas. I would put UCONN as an honorable mention with the success they have had lately. Texas is a football school. Gonzaga is consistent but not a prestige job. My list is based on history of the program and if you win a national championship at any of the programs I listed carries the most weight on a resume for a coach.
Kansas would definitely be Top 2 in terms of prestige. It's literally where it all started. Dr. Naismith, Phog Allen, Larry Brown, Roy Williams, and now Bill Self.
I agree with you Kansas is rich in history but with 4 National Titles doesn't qualify them for the number 2 spot.
Lately, They are the most winning program in the last 50 years in college basketball with at least 1 nitty in the last 4 decades. 1 in the '90s, and 1 the 2000s. 2 2010s, and 2 in the 2020s. Were you even born?
I concur
What program are you referring to? If you're referring to UCONN winning a title there doesn't carry the weight and prestige as winning a title in one of the blue blood programs. So if you win a title at UCONN your saying that carries more weight that winning a title at a blue blood program?
1. UCLA: 11
2. Kentucky: 8
T-3. North Carolina: 6
T-3. UConn: 6
T-5. Duke: 5
T-5. Indiana: 5
T-7. Kansas: 4
T-8. Louisville: 3
T-8. Villanova: 3
Love the list. UK fans are crazy
Steven A wanted to get on Mad Dog from Minute One. Stephen A makes ppl wanna fight.
1. UNC
2. UK
3. Duke
4. Kansas
5. -Villanova- UConn
How can Villanova be over Uconn and I'm from Philly
The irony is that neither Dog nor Stephen A. can name three players from each of those teams. Yet they both can name two linebackers on the Ravens, and Doggie can name all of the AL West's Eigth-Inning Setup Men ...
UConn has the best basketball program in the nation.
What about michcan state
UNC easily
Stephen A, did you pick those pants off the floor and threw them on this morning?
Louisville
SAS never went to unc or dook so what Molly talking about. His school is 1hr and a half to 1hr and 45 mins away. Get rid of her asap
yeah yeah ye!
ucla gotta be on there
Mad Dog actually has a decent list for once in his life. B- list
Missed Kentucky, Duke and UCLA.
@@justinbuska3499 I’m giving mad dog benefit of the doubt. I’m not sure how good Kentucky will be without cali plus duke was somewhat of a shock didn’t think they would beat Houston and to me ucla is hit or miss every year
Take out 5 and 4 to insert Kentucky and Duke.
Rather live in Storrs than in Kansas...
MOLLY IS SO THIRSTY FOR FAME/ATTENTION,,,,SHE WANTS STEPHEN A SHINE SO BADLY!!!!!💯💯💯
UK has 8 championships with 5 different coaches. Thats pretty attractive if I'm coaching.
Its the fanbase that make Kentucky unattractive. They literally send out death threats to the coaches when they lose.
UNC UNC UNC
How about depaul ?
lol they are 6th place
Nobody is staying up to watch Gonzaga play Saint Somebody. Their coach has managed to overachieve then underachieve over time.
Coach K is disrespectful for hiring Jon Scheyer, who is in his 30s and inexperienced, over Tommy Amaker, the person Duke's AD actually wanted. I've been a fan of Amaker's by default since he coached Seton Hall when I was a kid, and I've followed everything he's done at Harvard, which had no basketball history to speak of before he got there. If I were TA, I would confront Coach K about this whole situation.
He talked to Amaker told him that he needed to come in as an assistant see how they are running things and build a relationship with recruits and players. He declined Scheyer was the clear choice shown by success on the court and recruiting class he has brought in especially next years class.
@@user-fc8lm4vg1c Why would a proven veteran coach come in as an assistant? Jon Scheyer lost to NC State, which an unathletic Purdue team beat soundly. If he goes far next year, it'll be because of the team's talent, not him.
John Schyer recruits... Period
@@Zenigundamunc lost to NC State in the ACC tournament... It happens. His second year coaching and he had them in the elite 8....yeah real shabby results
ABSOLUTE TRUTH,,,,SHOULD'VE BEEN TOMMY AMAKER!!!
1. UNC
2. Duke
3. Kansas
4. UCLA
5. Kentucky
Big drop from top 3.
UConn has the same championships as UNC and more than the other 2
@@SomebodyBanThatGuy You play the game to win championships right? Uconn own duke in the tournament also. Duke started to win in the early 90's and Uconn won in the late 90's. Duke always has multiple 5 stars and Uconn rarely has any and still wins more titles. Duke has won with one coach and Uconn has won with three different coaches. Duke is 5 and 10 in title games and Uconn is 6 and 0. UConn has one a championship 1,3,5,7,9 years after winning a title. I know the media pushes narratives for schools they love but I want to hear you refute the facts I put in front of you
@@SomebodyBanThatGuy Kentucky has more championship s than Uconn but I'm talking about Duke. 6 is more than 5 and even the Duke fans hate that we passed them in championships because I read their message boards. I read Carolina's also and they are worried we are going to pass them next. In every sport the ultimate goal is to win championships. So your saying duke would rather have let's say 200 wins over one championship. No way would anyone want wins over titles. Indiana has won since the 80"s and UCLA has won since the 90's. Uconn has won more championships than anyone in the last 50 year's. All you said was your a UK fan and didn't dispute my argument
@@SomebodyBanThatGuy At least I changed your opinion. I want to go deeper how titles did UK and Kansas win when they didn't have black people playing a lot in college? Kansas with 4 championships is the most overrated team out of them all. They had maybe the greatest player of all time wilt chamberlain and didn't win anything. I'm sorry but all those teams are overrated with the talent they have and lose so much to less talented teams. I'm talking about before the portal.. I'm just having a conversation with you over a deference of opinion how the media pushes narratives and how some normal people think. I hope you have success with your next coach
@@SomebodyBanThatGuy I didn't know Kentucky won 4 championships when it was 16 teams in the tournament. Uconn is better than Kentucky. I don't even count titles like that. 1986 is when the tournament went to 64 teams and UK has 3 tittles
Steven A saved this video from getting a thumbs down.
You guys are daft! What about Kentucky, yo?
UNC easy call
No MSU is WILD
Gonzaga is definitely in the list, SA is trippin
S A is out his mind might as well add unlv to his list
UCONN out are You mad !!!! Molly is crying now
I would not leave UCLA out either. There is so much prestige and history from that program they should be somewhere in the top 5
UCLA hasn’t been relevant since 1995. They’ve missed the tournament more times and most of us can count on
i’d rather coach at usc than ucla
@@sakthithanigai5036UCLA has definitely been relevant after their last natty win. Went to 3 straight final 4s in the mid 2000s made another final 4 in 2021, you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@kevinchavis2755 so 4 final 4s in 29 years and that’s supposed to make them relevant, ye I think not, Syracuse has been more relevant than UCLA in the past 2 decades
@@sakthithanigai5036 the statement was that ucla hasn’t been relevant since 1995, well 95 was the last time they won a natty. I pointed out that wasn’t the last time they were relevant. I put down when they made the final 4 after that. During those runs ucla was relevant. How do you not understand that? lol. True thinker there aren’t you
What about ucla
Texas? Texas?!! TEXAS?!!!!!!!!! Sometimes the stuff said on here makes me so angry I wanna cry. This is one of those times. So incredibly ridiculous.
Duke on its own list
i don’t get the concept of the list. you see attractive jobs and it’s all jobs where coaches are secure
stephen a forgot about the big 5 in philly...
He forgot about UCLA
Yes mad dog got put duke in there
miami gotta be the best
Molly really need to go talking about mad dog that why I hardly look at the show anymore cause her
I thought Stephen A would have more respect for Kentucky. I’m disappointed
It's Kentucky and not even close
Kentucky is number 1 and Duke is at least 3 and none of them are here 💀💀💀
Stephen A and Molly are dressed like a couple
This dude said take UCONN out and replace them with Michigan. What a clown.
1. UNC
2. DUKE
3. CONN
4. KENTUCKY
5. IU (Call me crazy idc 😂)
UCLA?
All I see are casuals saying Kentucky. That is a toxic job. There is a reason why Billy Donovan never took a call from them. Their fanbase is spoiled and gross. As for Duke, no one is ready to take over the mantle that Coach K left behind. Not even Hurley. Mad Dog's list is fine
@@SomebodyBanThatGuy It's called reading between the lines, idiot
Best to coach.. Purdue b/c the fans, USC or UCLA.. so cal always a draw atheletes good weather.. Arizona due to weather always draws good players.. and UNC the best college basketball school ever.. exclude Duke b/c high grade avg to get in, top talent won't be at Duke again after coach K
Why is Stephen A and molly matching I'm missing something?
One answer: Virginia.
Pause
Texas 😂😂
This guy has no idea and it shows how can you leave Kentucky off the list but put Texas 😂
He said michigan 🥹
Gonzaga???🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Texas?????
Does molly ever shut up
Arizona and NC State
No job where you'd always play second fiddle to football. Texas? No. Michigan? No. Kentucky is a better job. UCLA is a better job.
The whole world is Scared of Memphis Basketball. For sure
What about UCLA 11 national titles and lots of talent and you will be on national television 😊
Lol kentucky is the most winning program in history of basketball and Duke is bigger than all those teams also and I hate duke
No UCLA
TRASH list. No Duke and Kentucky is dumb af
Both lists are absolute garbage. 1. UK- more money and resources than just about any other school when it comes to basketball. Plus the most passionate fans. 2. UNC 3.Duke 4. UCLA 5. Kansas.
