In order my list reads Kentucky basketball Alabama football Notre Dame football but they could easily be interchangeable. There are probably about 20 more that are tied for fourth but those three set the bar for out-of-control expectations and over-the-top fan and media scrutiny. Again the list isn’t meant to suggest these are bad jobs or that coaches can’t have great success in these places.
