DIAMOND STATUS SECURED: CBS Sports Ranks Ohio State a Top-Tier Coaching Job in College Football
Columbus, OH — In the latest CBS Sports rankings that have sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, the Ohio State Buckeyes have officially been crowned with Diamond Level status — the highest tier possible — in the list of top coaching jobs in college football.
According to CBS, only a select few programs in the country qualify as “Diamond Tier” — schools that offer elite resources, deep tradition, unmatched fan support, consistent winning, and a clear path to the national championship. Unsurprisingly, Ohio State not only made the list — it shined the brightest.
The Crown Jewel of College Football
From legendary traditions like Script Ohio to the game that stops the nation — The Game vs. Michigan — Ohio State isn’t just a football school. It’s a football empire.
CBS Sports analysts pointed out Ohio State’s “historic winning percentage, elite recruiting pipelines, and national brand power” as key reasons why the program is not only desirable — but sits at the pinnacle of coaching destinations.
In a sport where jobs come and go, and hot seats get warm fast, Ohio State remains a model of stability and success. The Buckeyes are a blue-blood with modern firepower, capable of competing for national titles every single season.
️ Built to Win Now — and Later
Ohio State’s infrastructure is elite. From state-of-the-art training facilities to world-class academic support, and a rabid fan base that fills up the Horseshoe with over 100,000 every game — this is a program designed for long-term dominance.
Recruiting? The Buckeyes don’t just compete — they lead. With regular Top-5 classes and a national reach that pulls in five-star talent from California to Florida, Ohio State is a dream platform for any coach with championship ambitions.
And let’s not forget NIL — Ohio State has become a leader in navigating the new era of college football, empowering players while maintaining a strong team culture.
The Throne of Titans
Ohio State’s position as a top-tier job isn’t just about trophies — though the trophy case is overflowing. It’s about sustained greatness. From Woody Hayes to Jim Tressel, Urban Meyer to Ryan Day, the program has maintained excellence through eras, scandals, and seismic changes in college football.
This consistency is what makes coaching in Columbus more than a job — it’s a calling.
As CBS Sports declared, “If you want to win big, build a legacy, and cement your name in college football history — there are few places better suited than Ohio State.”
The Buckeye Brotherhood Responds
Former players, alumni, and fans took to social media to celebrate the recognition:
> “Diamond Level? Always have been. Buckeyes set the standard.”
“We don’t rebuild — we reload. Always have, always will.”
“To coach at Ohio State is to lead giants. Welcome to greatness.”
