I find it intersting that some people can’t wrap their head around why someone would turn down a power 5 job or any job they matter.
A large part of it is about being happy and a good fit for that coach and their priorities. Think of it when you recruit, recruits don’t always go to the school that offers them the most money. Maybe people passed on the Texas job because of the pressure, maybe the reputation of their future boss, maybe they didn’t see scholarship support being put into their area at the level they wanted.
Remember, money can’t hug you when you’re sad. :)
