Had you not added the part about the fiancée, it would have made it a little easier for me.

With that said, happy wife, happy life. In other words, her opinion is going to matter and since were speaking on a hypothetical basis, she's not hear to answer.

Now, if you have no worries family wise, and I had all of these options, it would depend on two things....

One, do you want to make the big move one day and be a college coach, or are you happy with being a high school coach and teacher for your whole life? If you want to make it in the college game and your name isn't Gus Malzhaun, you need to get in a coaching position somewhere and make a name for yourself, and after 7 years, your not getting any younger, so I would make the move.

IF, you were fine with staying as a high school coach, and was confident in your abilities, I would go ahead and make the move to the bigger school in a different part of the state that expects state championships. You have to take chances. As long as you like the place and don't mind to move there, it would be a done deal for me. I wouldn't want to move to the bigger school in the county because you would never escape the drama. Staying at the current small school is fine, but who wants to stay and win against these small schools and not really challenge yourself against the best competition in the state?

So, my answer in short....

If I want to eventually be a college coach, id take the college job.
If I wanted to really push myself and make a name for myself as a high school coach, I would take the premier program.
If the wife says she isn't moving no matter what, id stay at the small school over the bigger county school to relieve myself from all the talking and being blasted on BGR.
