Miami is not the attractive job it was 10 years ago.

That's rediculous.

Recruiting in Miami is a no brainer, especially compared to ArKansas. There will always be ebbs and flows with Miami, Florida and FSU with talent, but even down recruiting years are still pretty damn good.

Miami is still the U and as long as Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Jeremy Shockey, Frank Gore, Clinton Portis, Kellen Winslow II, Greg Olsen, Ray Lewis, Brandon Meriweather and Jonathan Vilma are still in the NFL, the U has a lot of cache. They are still a team that gets pub and rankings when they aren't that great.

At arKansas, you are a mid tier program of your own conference and will have to be compared to LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida and Georgia. In the ACC, FSU and Miami had the program tailor made for them to succeed. It's Miami, Florida State and Virginia Tech.

Location, Location, Location. No brainer.

Facilities at the U kind of suck. That's about the only downside of coaching at the U.
