You just answered your own question.... to compete with the Bamas, LSUs, Florida and the Georgias. He is competitive, and no coach feels like he has proven himself until he has gone up against the "big boys" of the SEC. PAC12? We all know they don't matter when it comes to our mighty conference. I guarantee you that David Shaw would jump at the chance to coach in the mighty SEC!! So what if you win the Pac12. You win the National Title with the SEC and you become a Hall Of Fame Coach guaranteed!!

Leaving a comfy, winning lifestyle for the SEC is a gamble for anyone. Lose, and you're back on the streets as a position coach at a prime school or coord/HC at a secondary school. And the pay is accordingly. Taking a 10-year future snapshot of salary, career risk, lifestyle, and satisfaction (self and family), the move may not be any better than a coach's current position.
