Regardless of how tough the BYU job may look, very few people would be able to turn down that kind of pay raise. The only scenario in which I can see that happening is if Hill is supremely confident in his coaching ability, and he truly believes he can land a job better than BYU. It's a big gamble, but I can understand the rationale. Take the guaranteed money at BYU, last 3-5 years, and then get fired or don't have your contract renewed and bounce back down to the coordinator or FCS level, or hope and pray you can get a P5/top end G5 job that is more sustainable.
