What exactly is the best profile to build to land those jobs? In Stagg, I lost 2 elite jobs to 2 other coaches with less total wins, less conference championships, less national championships in their profile. Is it because all of my natty's are in 1AA? Is there an amount of time, and a type of D1 program, that lends itself better for those elite jobs? Just curious............ thanks in advance for any advice.

I don't think it is truly known but it is believed last 4-5 seasons are all that matter - It doesn't pay too much attention to Division 1A vs 1AA as a lot of 1AA coaches get it with better resumes in that division than coaches applying in 1A

Then I'm mystified as to why my success didn't land me either of those jobs.... huh

What was your rep and loyalty scores? Anything below A+ will disqualify you for elites.

Personally, I believe it is heavily influenced by final rankings of the coach's last 3 seasons. Looking at the 2 coaches that got picked over you, I still believe that's true...
