I'm not sure how many P5 jobs are going to hire coordinators in this cycle. And he's not considered a top-tier coordinator either.
Which is all well and good, but not a reason he should take the Duke job either.

I’m not gonna pretend to know what’s in JG’s head but as previously stated- this isn’t the best cycle for P5 coordinators to take next step. If he plays his cards right and gets ship moving in right direction at Michigan- we can likely wait a few years and get a much better job than Duke. JG is 37- plenty of time to make that move. It’s not like he’s 50 and clock is ticking on him being a HC.
so is miami’s new AD actively trying to find a new coach without firing manny diaz just in case he doesn’t find a coach he likes? seems like a bad idea in practice.
Which jobs are you thinking about?
I think in next 3-5 years the following jobs will be open: Vanderbilt (seems like a revolving door), UNC (Mack has 2-3 more years), Tennessee (revolving door there), ND (feel like Kelly has reached the ceiling), Penn State (Franklin ain’t staying there for good). All of those jobs are better than Duke and there will be some big SEC/Big Ten jobs that are bound to come open. Will Ryan Day move from tOSU to NFL? Heck - no one though OU would be open this cycle. What kinda job does JG want for his first HC job? As stated previously- most of the top coaches today came up as P5 Coordinators.
I don't think Vandy is a better job than Duke. Heck, Cut at least showed you can win a division title at Duke. It would be miraculous to do that at Vandy. Plus, because of hoops, Duke is a national name.
If next year goes like this year, then Mack Brown has 1 more year at UNC.
The holes I talk to blame him for the performance while applauding those doing the recruiting.
The elitism on this board is dumb. Riley isn't leaving because of any perceived increase in quality of life. He is leaving because he isn't happy that Oklahoma is going to the SEC. The new SEC is going to be a blood bath and it is going to decrease the job stability for a lot of coaches. Pretty simple stuff.

Honestly he doesn't look like he's doing much coaching. He never has his mouth piece down on his head phone, he seems to wander aimlessly on the sidelines and he break outs a pad and jots things down at times just like Bowden did when he was basically an empty figure head at FSU. I just don't think that model works well any more, I think players respect a coach more if he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. There's only some many euphemisms about life a coach like that can give to kids.

Hasn’t hurt the hole’s recruiting.
