I cant believe I am saying this but I worked in South Lafayette and Youngsville recently. Very nice area. People underestimate the amount of money in that region.
Youngsville is a Mcmansion paradise filled with 50000 millionaires with horrible traffic that floods twice a year

The best job available is FSU then Missouri. Any job at a P5 program that’s not in the same division as 3 of the top 10 fricking programs over the last 10 years in it.
Bama, LSU and Auburn are 3 guaranteed losses every season for Miss St, Ole Miss and Arkansas. They may pull off an upset, but at the beginning of the year you count those 3 games as a big fat L.
Are they better jobs than Louisiana, unequivocally yes. That doesn’t mean Napier/Norvell type coaches must jump at taking that opportunity. Napier is extremely young and very successful with the ultimate coaching pedigree. He has a roster that is loaded and truly set up for next season. So why jump at dead end jobs when there will be just as many jobs in P5 leagues that will be looking when he will have back to back 10+ win seasons.
If I were FSU I would go all in on Napier or Norvell. Their brand sells itself. The other openings need splash hires for a recruiting boost.
If any G5 coach making over $1M a year can be selective.

why would you move
For a game where his team was going for a school record 10th win, they sold 14k tix and 8k showed up. A lot of their tix cost $8.00....LA HS playoff tix cost $10. I have no idea how that program is financially stable. Do the math, say tickets average $20, ULL made $280,000. That's 3,500 LSU vs A&M tickets.
Plus, hot dogs are $1.00 and beer is $2.00. Students should have been all over that on a Saturday night or at least several thousand homeless starving drunks.
Plus, the school continually has to send memos to national media and no one still has any idea who the hell they are....

Better place than Baton Rouge.
And I’m not talking about the football team. City in general.

Things better in Lafayette, LA than their Lafayette County MS counterparts:
Rouses, Parish Brewing, crawfish/boudin/andouille.

You keep saying this. Who's career was killed by these universities?
But for Alleva screwing up the Jimbo situation in 2015 and Herman using LSU to get a big offer from Texas in 2016 it was sure looking like it killed O's head coaching prospects.
Of course, you could say LSU killed Archer's and Hallman's head coaching careers.

Oxford isn't called the velvet ditch for nothing.

Oxford is a small charming Mississippi town. Lafayette metro is 500,000. You decide which is better

I can't remember the name of the store, but it's on the Square next to Soulshine. They literally have clothing that says "velvet ditch" and when I asked the clerk, they said that's Oxfords' nickname. Apparently it means that it's the nicest ditch (town) you can never get out of.

Tunica was always known as Sugar Ditch.

I never heard it until I had left after undergrad. They had some special on ESPN and a couple of writers were drinking at City Grocery upstairs and they went on to explain the whole "Velvet Ditch" idea. Basically people find their way to Oxford on a visit for a game, Ole Miss event, or profession and end up deciding to stay because they enjoy it so much.

Your last coach is now a head coach of FCS team.

I don't think that's correct

With the addition of Acadia, Iberia, and Vermilion in 2013, the MSA is 490,000 plus.

Boca Raton outranks both but we have a fellow leaving that town for Oxford.

Which is probably what he’d still be right now had he taken the Tulane job when y’all begged him to leave us and be yall’s coach.
