If I was, say - a 45 year old OC looking for a head coaching gig, I would be pretty selective about what job I took.  Going to a school with resources comparable to their peers, good administration support, decent fan support - would all be things I wanted to see.  Taking a $5MM/yr job at a school where I saw no chance of being competitive and could expect to be fired in 3-4 years wouldn’t be appealing.

The level of risk at Syracuse right now is higher than lots of other schools - I could see guys choosing to wait for what they thought was a better opportunity elsewhere.

I’d take a head coaching gig for $5MM/yr - I’m completely unqualified and would be an unmitigated disaster, but I’d gladly cash that check for a year (and then gladly cash the buyout as well).  I’m sure there’s lots of unqualified/undesirable candidates for the job - but the idea a $5MM/yr job alone should be enough to attract “better candidates” (whatever that means) is an unrealistic expectation.
