That's a very good description.Jobs vs Opportunities.
Most HC gigs are opportunities, SEC gigs are JOBS. Set up for failure being that you’re not gonna out-talent UGA & Bama, you’ll never get over the hump but you’re getting what? At least $20M guaranteed to sign up for the ****storm?
It simply comes down to how confident you are in your ability as a Coach to possibly win in a difficult situation with odds stacked against you, vs how bad of a job you could do & how will it affect your ability to get another P5 job.
Some guys get the big P5 job, fail miserably & never get that chance again. Signing up for a SEC West job in the Saban era is tantamount to deliberately driving into a brick wall for your career.
Sure you'll get paid handsomely, but sometimes it's not always worth it in the end.
