Where else would they go? Jimbo's neighborhood in College Station? Think all retired coaches will pass on that.

3 out of the 4 coaches let go at Auburn still want to live in this community: Pat Dye, Gene Chizik, and Tommy Tuberville.
Still getting paid to keep quiet. Why move away?

What other SEC schools have that many fired coaches still in the area?
Knoxville has or has had a metric ton of coaches that were fired and stayed in the area. Chavis has kept his home base here through 3 schools. It's still home for him. Fulmer never left. Pearl stayed for years and I believe kept a place for a while even after being hired at Auburn and even Butch's fam is still here.

The only coach in the last 40 years who is currently not living there is Terry Bowden. He's currently at Auburn with a river (Clemson).
He just had a daughter or neice just graduate last year. They may not live there but they have maintained extensive ties

I don't know that this is uncommon
For LSU, Paul Dietzel and Charlie Mclendon retired in Baton Rouge.
Les Miles and Denardo stayed for years until they got their next coaching jobs.
Former head basketball coaches John Brady and Dale Brown still live here as well.
