Bad timing but Gary Kubiak seemed to have turned down some offers before he accepted his first head coaching gig. He didn't cite geography though. He just felt he wasn't ready although "coming home" to Texas certainly appealed to him when he took the Texans job.
O'Brien does make me nervous though. We've seen the track record of other former Patriot assistant coaches (Weis, Crennel, Haley, McDaniels, etc.) and while the Penn State job certainly had unique challenges, it's not like he was going 10-1 and winning BCS bowls.
