Minnesota’s Corey Hetherman new defensive coordinator at Miami

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.

Yep. No one here counts 2020. Now if we had gone 6-1 everyone would count it

Didn't count for comparison because Miami played four more games. Either way win totals are comparable.

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.
