Would you take the high profile, demanding SEC job that would pay well for a few years with a high chance of firing you within 5 years
Or
The medium profile job that would pay pretty well (relatively) low pressure non-SEC setting, where you know you can hang out for 10 years or more?

If the answer isn't automatically #1 then you'd never cut it anyway.

#1 and i wouldn't even have to think all that hard about it, but i also grew up in SEC country.
would also depend on how i evaluated the people i would be working for & how easy it would be for me to leave for LSU if the opportunity came open.

Any young, upcoming coach confident in their abilities is going to take the big boy job, unless they coach for their alma mater or there are family issues at play.
Those coaches that take the jump and fail can always fall back on the little conference jobs. No reason to not even try to see if you could hack it.

Is this an alpha/beta question in disguise?

Let's use Charlie Strong as an example. He was at a P5 school where the alumni were overbearing and swung their checkbooks like a 14" dick. They wanted to be in charge of the football program and dictate his every move.
He now makes close to 1.5 million and has 5% of his former pressure. Life is pretty sweet at USF for Strong and associates.
Why would he want to go to UF, where the "Bull Gators" are identical to those at Tejas? Having just been kicked in the cajones, he may want to sit out the grind for a while. He may still have some healing to do.
When he does decide to return he may choose to go to a weaker conference like the ACC or Pac 12. He could still get the money and accolades but the pressure would be nowhere near what it would be in the SEC.

Because in the SEC, 1.5 mil is coordinator pay, getting a HC job is atleast worth 2.5 or 3 mil more a year.

I know that but my point is that he may not be ready to go back into a bad situation. He has to be kicked back thinking that USF is pretty sweet and the pay is not awful by any means.
Most people are thinking that anybody who can should make the 5 million a year and have Sexton leverage it up yearly for longevity, buyout and more cash. We don't know that he wants that. I have not heard him comment one way or the other.

Would be 1 with our thinking about it 2 years ago before my baby was born. Now it would be 1 if they would let me hire a top rated staff . Hell I would even take less money to get the top staff because that national championship is all that matters in sports .
