Although there is some ability for coaches to succeed anywhere in the country, that is the exception, not the rule. Generally, I think coaches somewhat have geographical ranges and need to stay in that range to be successful. The reason being that their connections and recruiting pipelines are in a given geography. Exceptions to that are schools / coaches that have a HUGE national profile. Then it is less important. Then there are unicorns like Urban Meyer. But to take a guy from Boise and throw him into the deep south – he has to reestablish his connections and pipeline. He has to learn a new football culture. It seems tough.
