Obviously the insiders know more than I do, but I will choose to believe for now that this is a premiere job; the potential is through the roof, and that's evidenced by Underwood taking us from the cellar to a #1 seed, BTT champs and what-should-have-been Big Ten regular season champs by his fourth year. Facilities, fan base, coverage, recruiting footprint, Big Ten TV money, history of success ... it's all there.
Whatever "better jobs" there are out there, the gap should be small enough that Whitman can leverage the combination of increased pay + the general hassle of relocating your family (with the first one obviously being more important!) to keep who we want. Is North Carolina a better job than Michigan State, Michigan, Indiana ,etc.? IMO, obviously yes. However, something tells me all three would keep their man if UNC came calling. We need to be able to do the same.
