Parrish is a shock media writer. He will write articles which are considered inflammatory in order to gain a reaction from the people who read them.
It can be entertaining if you like that type of writing. Personally, I don't so no I did not read the article. It's Gary Parrish.

I did not look at their list. Looking at the Power 5 Conferences I think there are 4 that you could make a legitimate argument are better jobs than UL. I am not saying they are better, just saying you could make the argument. They are Duke, NC, KY and Kansas. To me those are the Top 5(includes UL). The next 5 would be UCLA, Michigan State, Wisconsin , Ohio State & Arizona.
It's obviously, in no particular order, the top 6 programs historically. We all know who they are. Maybe UCLA isn't a great job anymore. I can respect that. Maybe AZ is a better job now, or tOSU. Splitting hairs about things like that is fine.
For the guy, or anybody else to even suggest a mid-major job is on par with any of those, or even any in the next tier is more of an attempt to be clever than factual.
It's just an author trying to go against the grain.

It wasn't Gary Parrish's opinion as many have assumed to be true ITT.
CBS Sports' Gary Parrish, Matt Norlander and Sam Vecenie spent the July evaluation period at NCAA-sanctioned events, where they talked with college basketball coaches from all levels. They asked for opinions on players, coaches and issues in the sport.

I would argue that Louisville is a top 3 program. We have 3 national titles, two hall of fame coaches(Crum, Pitino), Yum center and 20,000 fans a game, play in the ACC, and a coaching salary paying close to $4m a year. Duke is obviously a top 3 if not 1. However, I wonder if Duke survives when Coach K retires? UK, UL, Kansas, UCONN, and UNC has survived them. UCLA and Indiana has not. They are no where near the programs they were under Wooden and Knight.
That is fine, no problem with that. It's a random sample that draws on no real conclusion of merit.
Which would mean, the OP still has bite to criticize Parrish because the author is presenting meaningless random data.
UofL is solidly in the Top 10- probably Top 5- coaching jobs of college basketball. No doubt about that. We have had 2 coaches in the past 40 years- both of them HoF, a state of the art new arena with 20,000 fans a game, a great AD and facilities, huge fan support, and a Top 7 All Time college basketball program.
I mean really, how many coaches have gone through the carousel at other top programs in the past 40 years? The fact that both Crum and Pitino stayed here and will retire here says a lot about the job. Crum turned down UCLA back in the day to stay at UofL as well. All of this tells me that UofL is a great college basketball coaching job.

You bring too much evidence and wisdom to make a difference in some of these threads.
Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky are in their own class. Louisville is among others which could range anywhere from 5 to 10 depending on what writer does the story.
That is fine, no problem with that. It's a random sample that draws on no real conclusion of merit.
