I'd argue Indiana football HC is even a worse job than Purdue football HC.
I think Drake would definitely fit into a basketball version of that - "You are a head basketball coach. Your only 2 options are Drake and Evansville. Which job do you take?"
That's not even a fair question, for as much crap as I (Everyone) give Evansville I can see where that's the better job. The pay may not be as high, but the potential fan base is higher. The administration seems slightly less incompetent.
If Marty Simmons quit today to become Tim Jankovich's top assistant at SMU , I think I'd agree. A coach coming into Drake has a total rebuild. A coach coming into Evansville could avoid Thursday in year 1, with the players/commits Simmons has already recruited (plus a couple of open schollies)
