I'm no in-demand college football coach, but I'm sure that I'm not alone in feeling like finding and building a home is more important than making more money. Of course I'd like to make more, but I wouldn't trade it for my family and community.
I've always sort of thought this.  Once I got to the P5, I can't imagine ever switching jobs, other than to go back to MSU.  But even then, I say that as a fan with one allegiance, not a coach who has maybe worked at a dozen schools since playing at his alma mater.

I'll never not respect Barry Alvarez, for the sole reason that he turned down both Notre Dame (when they launched Davie) and Miami (when Donna got there) to stay in Madison and see things through.
I know in the '90s The Vest was offered the Huricanes deal 2-3 yrs before the Buckeyes snagged him

Yeah, but it's not an either/or thing.  You can have family and community at a helmet school, too.  



I see it akin to those who poopoo recruiting stars, arguing you want the 3-star kids who work hard and put the team first.  Actually, you want the 5-star kids who will do that - they'll win more games.  You don't have to choose talent OR dedication, you can find both.

Spurrier was ready/willing to come back to Florida after his NFL debacle, but the AD insisted he interview...pretty silly of him.  
You want Spurrier's resume as UF AD?  How about the comfort of the chair you're sitting in, lol.

I think he means Barry leaving for ND/Miami, once he was a decade plus into his Wisconsin career.  At that point, why relocate?

I think he really thought he could get an MNC at Wisconsin, after winning those two Rose Bowls.

Guys that played Linebacker in the 60s usually weren't the smartest

especially after their playing careers

Given the hours demanded by a higher level HC job, do any of them have much family life?

I suspect one has to be driven as a compulsion to get anywhere near that job.  I saw high level execs where I worked who had no "life".  The person who tries to balance job and family ends up about where I did.

I guess we could have played Linebacker in the 60's
