Who would you rather learn from to be the best LB that you can be? A guy who played safety and has only coached LBs for a year, or a guy that played LB and has coached LBs for nearly 30 years producing All Conference and All American players?
Would you rather live in Miami or Manhattan for 4-5 years?
Would you rather go to one of the top private universities in the entire nation, or one that strives to be a Top 50 public research university ten years from now?
Would you rather live within a long drive from home, but one you can make in a day, or would you rather live somewhere you have to spend a bunch of money to fly home?
I mean, it really is as simple as the experience of your position coach, though.
