<p>Just because it’s easier to win somewhere doesn’t mean that people want to coach there. Florida is one of the top states for recruiting-maybe even the best state. That doesn’t mean that coaches want to coach there more. Would Florida State be a step up for Saban just because it’s in Florida? What about Texas A&M or Cal? Didn’t think so.</p>
<p>You think Indiana, Michigan, and Alabama have great recruits? They don’t. Nevertheless, ND, UM, and UA are some of the most desired coaching jobs in the country. Your logic is flawed. Meyer’s clause in his contract shows that UF is not, at the very least, one of the 3 best places to coach. It’s probably top ten because of what he’s done there lately, but not top 5. When’s the last time Alabama won the National Championship? I don’t know, but it’s been awhile. But it’s still one of the top 5 places to coach and higher than Florida.</p>
<p>Most coaches would agree that Michigan, Notre Dame, Alabama, USC, Ohio State, and maybe Texas are more “prestigious” places to coach.</p>
