He doesn't have to be in the south but I expect he has a strong preference to be there. Los Angeles might have lots of leftist weirdos but it has a strong beach culture. Hard to imagine Cookie Monster in Akron, Ohio if he has other choices so it really comes down to how badly does he want back into the game? Enough to live in Akron? He's not a hungry assistant on the way up that needs to pay his dues with shitty jobs. He can afford to wait for the right job to open.
But I'm not in his head so this is all just guessing on my part. For all I know, Florida might hire him. Doubt it, but I'm not the one making those decisions.
