Only jobs I really like on that list are ASU and UCLA. A lot of delusional places that think they should be contenders and just won't (UF, UT)... or impossible to win consistently w/o overt cheating (Miss, Arky, Aggy). Those places can be great if you're just looking for high-risk high-reward for 3 years of $3mil+ paychecks on the premise that your career, even as a Coordinator, may be flushed down the toilet. Otherwise pass.
Nebraska isn't the sexy hire, but fan base is ready to settle for Division Championships I think. Stop getting embarassed by Wisconsin every year... stop losing to shitty schools. Accept the Bo Pellini 9-win records without the angry outbursts.
Florida is a delusional boilerplate, recruiting is national, and despite being in the Sunshine State -- location is actually pure jorts hillbilly country. Location wise, UCF is a lot nicer.
He's born a Midwest kid so the downfalls of Midwest will just be "home" .. and very likely be able to leverage UCF connections to score some 3* sleepers from FL up to Lincoln.
This makes most sense to me. And if he's successful at UNL, there will always be opportunity to step up to a real contender if he wants to later on.
What surprises me is LSU's situation. That's a primetime location even if they do suck now... recruiting hotbed... only big school in-State... and fanbase reaching a point where they might have some patience with a hot hand.
