SF, I don't think anyone was intending to ignore pay, and I guess if you think about it along those lines, you could certainly argue that the pay scale dictates the desirability. Although I'm not sure that I would agree with that. I love Billy D., but I wouldn't even suggest that UF is the 3rd most desirable coaching job. I think it is higher on the list than many would suggest, but 3rd? Yet he is the 3rd highest paid coach.

You know who finds Florida one of the most desirable jobs? Billy Donovan. He turned down Kentucky twice.

My point is "most desirable job" is COMPLETELY different than "most prestigious program" or "best history" or "general public perception of the program."

Most desirable job is pretty much defined by if a person wants one job over another. And if one is paying significantly more than most others, it's likely to be higher on a lot of people's lists.

Florida may not be more desirable than Kentucky, but it is to Donovan. And one reason is that Florida can pay with Kentucky.

Fair enough. To those of us "in the know," Florida should be higher up the list of desirability, but I recognize that, for whatever reason, it isn't.
