UConn is in a unique spot where the pay will likely be better than the low tier p5 jobs.....for now. Eventually that gulf may widen too much but I think it will be much harder for to win at wake in the acc than at uconn in the American.
Wake is paying Clawson 2.25 million. Duke is paying Cutcliffe 2.25 million. Washington State is paying Leach 2.5 million.
It's harder to win at Tennessee in the SEC than it is to win at UConn in the AAC.
It's harder to win at UCLA in the PAC 12 than it is to win at UConn in the AAC.
It's harder to win at Virginia in the ACC than it is to win at UConn in the AAC.
It's harder to win at every P5 job than it is to win at UConn as long as it's in the AAC.
If the job being more challenging would discourage coaches from leaving no one would leave the MAC or Sun Belt for bigger jobs.
Just like Skip Holtz could win at East Carolina and wash out at USF then go back to being good at LA Tech... It's harder for Willie Taggert to win at USF than it was at Western Kentucky.
This is why Nick Saban dominates in the SEC and was a joke in the NFL. Rick Pitino? John Calipari?
