"I try not to get it in to who has better jobs but in this case, @WVUhoops is (if not a sleeping giant) a better job that @IowaHoops right now in my opinion. The team is the state’s pro basketball team & fan support is awesome. They have great NIL and great facilities. And the governor has your back. The leagues are similar, of course. I’m hoping that the Mountaineers do not need another coach for a while."

While true, I'm not sure the gulf is so large to overcome the pull from your alma mater. If I were in the coaching game, I can see how a blue blood job like UNC or UK would be difficult to leave in favor of WVU. However, I'd easily jump ship from a slightly better program to WVU because I love the Mountaineers.
