The AAC is better than the Sun Belt but not by a huge margin. He isn’t going to Tulane to get rich. Just seems like he could have hung out at Troy and kept winning until the SEC comes calling in a year or two. He is a pretty damn good coach so he will not be at Tulane long anyway.

AAC is on TV more than the Sun Belt, thus more high profile.
Tulane is already a good program so he just has to keep the wheels rolling for a few years and he'll have his pick of jobs in the Southeast (within reason).
At that point, he will have established that he can win in multiple places and he can get Tulane to a NY6 bowl potentially and really put himself on the map like Fritz did.
Much harder to make that jump from one job in the Sun Belt, it can be done (Napier) but will usually be a rebuild situation.

What SEC fanbase would be ok with hiring the coach from Troy?!?

Tulane is paying him 4m a year. Troy couldn’t pay him more than 1.2m a year. End of discussion.
