And just like that… it’s over !
 
I believe Candle seriously considered it, you don't get to the point of offering someone that position if they are not open to it. My point is just that so many people on this board act like everyone wants to live in Miami and while I agree that a lot do (and I personally would want to live in Miami over Ohio even though I am not a big Miami person), not everyone does.

Good for Kirby Smart and that may be true for him and a majority of coaches, but that isn't true for everyone and I am sure even Kirby has other factors that would play into it. In fact, let's do a combination of these two... let's say after all cost of living, taxes, etc where calculated there was the choice to either live in Miami and make the equivalent of 1.5M a year or Toledo making the equivalent of 1.8M, how many people are choosing Toledo in that situation?


Correct.

An Ohio lifer (literally and figuratively) might not take the bait. It's not always a slam-dunk. ****, we almost hired Jim Tressel once upon a time.

Never meant to say it wasn’t candle.. that’s who
I was alluding to the whole time. I must have replied to something that made everyone write off Candle at some point. Thought I corrected myself

There’s always extenuating circumstances that many neglect to consider than go off the deep end when something doesn’t go the way they think it should.

Appreciate it.
