Why go somewhere where you're pretty much guaranteed to take 3 division losses every year while really ratcheting up the pressure? Money is the only upside for those jobs, but I just don't think Bill is one to chase the pay day. I mean $1.5M living in Birmingham makes you a rich dude. Not to mention he is pretty much a living legend at UAB with zero job pressure, he's from Alabama, spent nearly his whole career in the state, and his family all live close by. It would also surprise me if he leaves before the new stadium opens since he was so instrumental in getting it built.

Based on comments he's made in the past, it seems to me like Clark is more of a program builder vs chasing the next shiny thing. He seems to want to do things that haven't ever been done before. I'm not saying he'll stay forever, but I don't think it's too crazy to think he could be our Bobby Bowden or Bill Snyder - but I think long-term that would hinge on getting into a better conference. I pretty much only see Bill leaving for a powerhouse P5 job and Ole Miss/Arkansas/Missouri aren't powerhouses.

I'm more worried about Auburn when it comes open. The problem with him being a program builder is after two straight trips to the championship game he might consider it build and wants a new challenge.
