Interesting read from The Athletic (have to be a subscriber) on what factors beyond pay/job title coaches consider when offered a job.
https://theathletic.com/182735/2017/12/13/college-football-coaching-job-changes/
A quick overview if you can't read it:
1. Airport accessibility
2. Community/size of city
3. Family situations (kids in high school makes it harder to leave)
4. Stability
“You have to be in total alignment with your administration. You have to have a great working relationship with your athletic director for your program to function at its best.”
6. State taxes and benefits
7. Weather
8. The NFL (not having to recruit and worry about kids)
