LSU is a better job than Michigan and they get better players.

If you're talking pure football, I would definitely agree. Louisiana is a football hotbed and, from my understanding, the school is all in on the football program. Michigan, historically, has gotten its best players from Ohio and places like California.

However, Michigan is the all time winningest program, and the school itself is a top tier university with one of the largest endowments in the country. (Michigan, $17 billion -- for reference, LSU $1 billion, Notre Dame $18 billion, Northwestern $15 billion, Vanderbilt $10 billion, Alabama, $2 billion)

There is sometimes a disconnect between the University of Michigan and the football program, which can lead to frustration.

It just depends what you mean by "better" job. For example, I don't think Harbaugh would ever want to coach at LSU. Notre Dame is a similar program to Michigan, but Brian Kelly clearly did want to coach at LSU.
