Certain coaching positions are destinations jobs that a coach isn't going to leave. Tradition, support, recruiting base are big factors. Sometimes exceptions occur notably Roy Williams leaving Kansas for his alma mater North Carolina. I don't know if any northern US college baseball coaching position, except perhaps the Northwest with a relatively temperate climate, is a destination position. I'd take Cal Stae Fullerton or Long Beach State as more desirable positions, let alone ASU and LSU.

ND had it well within its power to keep Mainieri

They let him get away. Granted, that was under Kevin White, not Jack Swarbrick. But Swarbrick has compounded the blunder by keeping Aoki despite a lower winning percentage than Schrage.
