Stanford Job Is Better Than Michigan Job, Correct?

weather (check)
more surrounding talent (check)
less pressure to win (check)
similar academic standards
I guess Michigan can pay more? But Stanford still has the means to do so...
But to the common dude, with no Michigan ties, the Stanford job is better. Its probably one of the best jobs in the country only behind Ohio State, Texas, and a handful of others.
FTR, i also think the Stanford job is better than the ND job

Stanford is a good job because it is one of the best schools, if not the best, in the country. I know, Harvard has their 32 billion dollar endowment, but Stanford has location.
ETA:
But UM has a larger fan base. So I guess you can split hairs on which is better.

Yes.
History, prestige, and tradition mean little now compared to the past.

i disagree... Stanford might be an okay job and they might have made it so by today's standards, but they shouldn't run the Pac 12 like Michigan could the B1G... they overacheived for a few years but they're not the easiest place to win at. you still have to beat Oregon and USC when they get back to being good again

Yeah, a fanbase that can't consistently fill a 50k seat stadium is a better job than Michigan (the winningest college football program of all time) and is comparable to other football giants like UT and Ohio State. 
They haven't won a national title since 1940...74 years ago. You people act like what happened in the last 3-4 years is all that matters.

Sure, if a coach has a beta personality. For any coach who is alpha male, they want to be at a place where the stakes, expectations and pressure are the highest.

Not even close. Much easier to win at Michigan.

If you're a football guy UM >>> Stanford.
Not to mention it's where he played. No brainer if he wants to coach college again IMO. Besides Urbs needs someone else to make his arse quit again.
If you can beat USC at Stanford you can own Ohio St at UM

Stanford has a lot going for it. Is it better than Michigan? Depends on the person. Stanford's academic standards can be daunting, but can also be a boon in the right hands. It's pedigree means Stanford recruits nationally. Look at the roster- it has a lot of California kids, but that's just population ratio. You've got kids from Texas, Georgia, Florida, you name it.
Michigan is a blue blood that has insanely high support, but also insanely high expectations.
I think they're both really good jobs.

What alpha male would chose to live in the frozen tundra of the dying midwest?
You guys act like Notre Dame fans who think this is still the 1980s.
Probably still on dialup internet as well

Stanford will be one of the goat jobs by the time we are all middle aged

It's pretty historic, no doubt.
But if you discount the era before the Flying Wedge was outlawed, you could make an equally strong case for Notre Dame or USC.
