re: Why is Florida considered a better job than Miami?

I would rather live in Miami, compete against Florida State, Clemson and Va. Tech with a somewhat reasonable fan base(hell, I feel if Shannon would have won the last game, he might have survived) versus a school like Florida or LSU for that matter, that if you don't win a national championship every other year, your fanbase is grumbling and you can be shown the door......

With an attitude like that, you would never become an elite coach in the first place, so Florida would not be considering you for a job. The people who become really good in coaching are the crazy people who have an intense desire to be at the very top of their profession, not those who just want to coast.
