He claims that MSU was not his first HC opportunity so I assume he wouldn't have any trouble turning down a bad opportunity at the FBS level if presented with one, even if it came with a big salary bump.
The list will grow of course as teams finish their seasons, but the jobs currently available at the FBS level are: Charlotte, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Fresno State, Kennesaw State, Rice, Southern Miss, Temple, UMass, Utah State. The only two realistic possibilities there would be Fresno State and Utah State who are both heading to the new Pac-whatever in 2026. The last Fresno and USU coaches were both making around $1.5 million/year in salary, which seems like it would be tough to turn down. Fresno seems like they'd aim higher than a FCS guy, and hopefully Utah State is scared away by their last hire from MSU bolting after being there for only one year!
Utah State would do that hire with those results every single time.

I swear, I will trap a live bobcat and release it in the AD's office if they do that to me again!

The irony if Vigen somehow gets the Fresno job and heads to the PAC and Choate is stuck in the Mountain West at Nevada.
