I personally don't want the responsibility of being the face of a company. That's just me and my personality though. I'd rather keep a lower profile for the same money.

Ego comes into play....its hard to turn down a HC job.....especially, when you have already been a HC.....hard to take orders, when you are used to giving them....at least in my experience.

In this game, ego is a big factor, along with competitiveness. So I don't know if being CEO of a company is necessarily comparable. Guess it depends on the CEO.
With Quinn, it's going to matter how much he wants to prove that he can lead a team to a championship and how much he wants to stand a chance of making the Hall of Fame. Assistant coaches don't make the hall.

I go for it.
Because that is what I do.
Edit: And I have and I have failed.
Spectaculary.
And then I did again and I succeeded.
It's just what I do.

If the right opportunity comes along, I'm betting on myself to turn that 500 employee company into an empire. It would absolutely have to be a perfect opportunity though, see Brent Venables at Oklahoma.

And you'd crush it.
Like a sharp thingy from another dimension into a person you care about's eye by page 3.
I cared about that character!
What are we talking about?!
Dangit...
How does a sharp thingy crush something?
I need to go back to the lab...

As some have already said.. it depends.. if I really REALLY like where I am and the people I work with.. I go with #2. I mean the reason we work is to get paid.. if I am going to get paid the same $$$ to do less work and have less responsibility why would I turn that down? The only reason to go with #1 is a) ego.. the need to be the top dawg or b) supreme confidence that you do something truly special as the top guy. If that new company is losing millions of dollars a year because it's stocked with losers and halfwits, they're just going drag me down and sully my reputation along the way. But if it's a profitable endeavor with great prospects of increased success.. maybe I go for it.. but still leaving behind people I love working with would be hard.. But then as CEO, I could bring a lot of my favorites with me.

You go for it. Because you can always slide back into your old job or something similar.

If I had an ego and wanted to be the face of the company option 1. But if I was happy with what I was doing and didn't want the extra responsibility I would pick option 2. Me personally, I would always pick option 2.
In Quinn's case I don't know which one he is. A part of him probably would want another crack at head coach to prove be can do it if it was the right place.

If this is about Quinn, I’m pretty sure the Falcons HC job scarred that man so bad to the point where he’s going to think long and hard before he becomes a HC again…
