No coach with any big time aspirations takes that job. It's a f*cking commuter school in Boca Raton.
I'm sure there are a thousand guys out there that would love to take a D1 head coaching job in South Florida on a campus with a brand new stadium.
Any young coach would kill to take that job if he's looking to start his career. Pelini was just a bizarre hire from the get go, they need someone who has some sort of south Florida ties to get in there.
Depends on what you mean by start his career. Coordinators at major programs -- those with aspirations to be the head man at a top 25 program -- don't take that job. Like FIU, it's for has-beens (e.g., Turner), castaways (e.g., Randy), or very young position coaches trying to skip the coordinator level (e.g., Cristobal at FIU).
