I thought he said he loved Michigan so much that he would work there for free?

If he was going to the NFL -- he would have done so when the school dropped his pay to less than some coordinators are paid

What's to stop him from leaving now if they don't increase his pay? He just won the BIG and made the playoff

Nothing. As someone who had a 15 year career in the NFL -- I don't think the money is what drives him anymore -- he is already worth like $50 million. He made like $3 million in incentives this year and donated it all back to the employees of the athletic department who had to take a pay cut because of covid -- so he obviously isn't hurting for money.

If the NFL is where he wants to be, that's where he will go.
 
It actually makes a fair amount of sense. It isn't likely he can every get any higher at UM. I mean this was the team and we absolutely trucked them. Without recruiting a ton more blue chips, how is that end result going to get any better? After the game he had to be going, shit, how the hell do I get to that level?

Think about it ... a year ago he was almost fired, had to take a pay cut. The idea of a UM hero getting canned had to be galling. Now he goes out a hero with a win over tOSU, the first B1G championship in years. When they invariably take a step back next year he is still the good guy.

Plus the Raiders in Vegas seems like a pretty nice gig.

The Raiders in Vegas would be hard to pass up.

If he ends up getting fired he can always go back to college and top jobs are always opening and the money has gotten insane. I don't see a downside to leaving right now.

Michigan will never be able to recruit like a Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, etc. It is quite simple why -- look at the class of 2023. The state of Michigan has 1 player in the top 200 recruits. Georgia has 23 recruits in the top 200 in the state of Georgia. And Michigan has to go after in state recruits with Michigan State. Not to mention the stupid academic stipulations that cost UM Xavier Worthy in the last recruiting class, but he can get into Texas. UM admins need to get off their high horse if they want to compete nationally.

UM and ND will be quality teams who will have top 10, even top 5 finishes, but they will never win titles regularly, as they have to rely almost solely on recruiting nationally -- they MAY have a shot if they have a year with an All-American QB/WR combo, who can torch a defense on their own, like Bryce Young and Jameson Williams did to Georgia, but Michigan hasn't had a QB/WR combo like that for as long as i can remember.

Teams like Georgia, Bama, OSU, Clemson (on the Georgia border), LSU, USC, Florida or Florida State if they ever get their shit straight -- they have ENORMOUS advantages with their in state talent to pair with those recruits they get nationally. It is never going to change -- it is why there are a select few jobs coaches want to get to. It isn't that the coach loves living in Georgia, it is that he loves the ridiculous amount of talent in the state. Same goes for all the others.

It is why I tell Nebraska fans -- there isn't a chance in hell they are competitive nationally with zero in state talent and zero talent in surrounding states and now playing all their games in the Midwest.

I agree with everything you say other than the part about living in Georgia. Trust me, living in Athens, Georgia is a plus, not a minus. Especially for the coaches family. Right now, there are six D1 coaches/ex-coaches living in Athens - Smart, Richt, Dooley, Muschamp, Goff and Donnan. Don't be surprised to see the seventh, Bobo, there in a few months. Was there 3 years in law school, lived in the Atlanta area for another 15. It's a great place to live. Good chance in retirement that I will live at least part time in Athens.

I especially agree with you about Nebraska. It rankles them when you say it, but it is true.

Finally, that's why the 12 team CFP is important ... you may not be able to win the natty, but getting into the playoff and hosting a game or two or three every 5 years will go a long way to making CFB football fun for a lot of teams who really don't have a chance to make it to the top. I live in Raleigh, so I think of the reaction that NCSU and UNC fans (not Duke, they are hopeless) would have just to get into the CFP. The place would be nuts.
