There are a lot of jobs in all kinds of industries that pay less than another, but it's viewed as a better job than the same one paying more. Money is only one variable. Quality of life, long-term viability in the job, support in doing your work, supervisor, enjoying your work, etc.

There are a lot of coaches who could have left for jobs simply paying more, but they view their current job a better one. I'm pretty confident Phil Parker could name his price at any of the helmet schools but he has stayed at Iowa. Alvarez could have left Wisconsin years ago but he stayed there. Pretty sure PJ could have gotten paid more to go somewhere, but views his gig as a good one.

More money = Better job is a pretty simple take.

True, but most of those variables are subjective. Obviously Hetherman thought Miami was better. Seems like some want to create a narrative that coaches keep leaving because they hate Fleck. As if accepting substantial pay raises is some kind of evidence for this.

I agree with that. More money doesn't mean better job, but there are people who live that way and Heatherman may be one of them. He has had like 14 jobs in 15 years or something like that. I don't think that is about Fleck. There are plenty on the staff who have stayed long-term and I'm sure they have had opportunities.

Definitely a bit of a vagabond existence for sure...I think the fact that it was "one and done" has people speculating. Parlayed his success at James Madison into a big payday.

I am guessing we have different opinions on Miami... I put them in the same category as a school like Texas and Michigan. Both of those programs were down but you get the right coach and you are right in the thick of it.

I do think the biggest issue with Miami is their stadium issue. A lot of us feel moving to the dome killed the atmosphere for 20+ years for the Gophers and that was literally down the street and across the bridge. The Hurricanes currently play about 45 minutes from their campus. Can't imagine we would have any student atmosphere if we played our games in Northfield!

I am finding more and more studies on Google Scholar that show that a coaching change rarely rights the ship. Statistically, the W and L column remain within the margin of statistical error. It remains to be seen under the NIL and conference realignment if this remains true or not, but with over 100 years of data, I am betting that the NIL will flatten out the curve. I could be way off here as our society is in a rather large state of flux. I could be correct and still have magnitudes of error (making me WRONG).

I agree with you for sure. One of my biggest frustrations with certain teams (more of an NFL thing) but they fire coaches every year. Can't tell me that every coach the Raiders or Jets hire is an absolute trainwreck... I would think if given time to actually build a program and a team they could be successful.

Usually coach is fired. New coach is hired. Initial excitement is there. People get excited. Team loses. People say here we go again, lets fire this coach, he is in over his head, etc. Coach is fired. Cycle continues repeating.

I tend to agree with you that NIL will flatten the curve if you mean it will help to start to level the playing field. I see it as a great opportunity for programs like the U in that there is a lot of highly recruited talent at perennial top 15 programs and 2 or 3 on the depth chart who will be looking for opportunities to start somewhere else. Transfer portal will become an equalizer of sorts.

You understood my meaning. The equalizer of sorts is what we don't know much about yet. I am crossing my fingers.
