In terms of preferring a bigger market: I just think there's some legacy points to be had in terms of taking over a large-market team.  For example, taking the Chicago Bears job and creating a team that wins the Superbowl for the first time since the legendary 1986 team would be pretty sweet.  There is simply a level of fame that comes with guiding an old school team to the big game, in the case above taking a team that was formed in 1920 to it's second Superbowl win would be pretty spectacular.

Now that doesn't necessarily apply to all coaches, but it is a reason.

Pederson was supposedly offered the saints HC job and took Jax, so.... 

I think every single "market consideration" is very individual.

Every big name FA this team has ever signed was precluded with ppl on this very message board saying 
"He'll never come to Jax ! "

...and then he did

I don't read much into that stuff. 
Money talks and Khan is willing to spend.

Is there really any HC candidate who will (or would have) chosen the NO job over Duval? That's career suicide until they get out from under that revolving dead money albatross.

Yay, our job is better than career suicide! Or are we just a different means of death?

Because yeah, HE's the problem there.

Anybody who says the league caters to the big markets doesn't pay attention to the NY franchises, that is for certain.
