Another Beau Baldwin scare

A lot of assumptions in this logic. I would argue that Reno, Nevada has just as much to offer in terms of "quality of life" as Cheney/Spokane does. Also, our program is only the top five at our division. There are bigger and better things than the FCS. Baldwin is a go getter and I guarantee he would love to be the best of the BEST level of football, not just settle for the FCS. And Money=Comfort, so your new equation should be:
winning, control, and job security < money and comfort.
Hell yes, I would take money and comfort over that.
If the rumored contract is true, Baldwin would be earning 500,000 a year more than he does at this position. For my own personal context, I could have a cushy job for $5,000 less, but choose to work at a gang banger school for the pay raise.

Nevada will never be a top 5 program in the FBS, or a National Title contender. That's just reality. I completely agree the FCS isn't the top, but Beau will have a job for another 30 years at EWU a salary of 200-300k if he stayed. Not many people could say that. He risks all of that by leaving for a job at Nevada where he might have 4 years to turn them around. Could he do it...sure, if it was just up to Beau. But, at that level, it's a completely different ballgame than that of EWU.
In the end, he will do what's best and I'll be happy for him. He's a great guy and I'll thankful for what he's done for our program!
If he doesn't succeed at Nevada, he could get a 30 year job at the FCS at the same price again easily.
If he succeeds at Nevada, he will get a 1-2 million dollar contract for a school that can be an ACTUAL top 5 college program.
To get where you need to be, you have to take some risks. This is actually a very safe risk for Baldwin that could reap numerous rewards.

Old QB here that values a good offensive line. I have gone out to the EAGS early season practices for the last 6 years and really like the way Best coaches the OL. It is easy to see he is respected by the athletes and I am sure he has gained a ton of knowledge about head coaching over the years. I like the thought of an EAGLE having the opportunity to lead the team. Aaron Best should be the next head coach.

ESPN reports it aswell
Nevada is making a huge mistake. They had a perfect candidate. A guy who had proven that he can kick ass with limited resources. A guy who can fire up a fanbase with an exciting high octane offense. A guy who creates a culture of pride and focus within a team.
And we get to keep him.

Agreed, I think other open jobs are longs shots (Cincinnati and Houston) with CBB being a west coast guy.
As they should be Nevada fans on twitter are NOT happy with the hire.

What if you can have several of those...and more money? I think BB is going to win, would likely have a lot of comfort in his position, improve his quality of life, gain more control over the program, and improve his job security all because he is a dang good coach. And he will do that wherever he goes.
It at Nevada though, it would be an enormous longshot to ever be a top 5 program.
