I also find this interesting because a lot of times the coaches just move wherever and you hardly ever hear about the spouse truly having a say. If she’s making her conditions known and he’s on board with it he could be in this role with us for multiple years and I certainly wouldn’t say no to that.

I’d guess spousal say is likely more than we know overall, but, yes, it does seem like this situation isn’t exactly commonplace. Then again the Leonhard’s career and situation seems like they aren’t commonplace either. He had a pretty long NFL career and moved around a fair amount the end of his career — though don’t know if family actually moved each time. They then stay 7 years in one place and he gets close to the top rung of his profession not just as DC for 5 years but a well-respected DC.
Offers for DC probably have come in and will continue to if he doesn’t take the USC, so he’ll options. SoCal is its own animal — maybe not for everyone — and how much stability will he have at USC with Riley not exactly killing it there currently. I wonder if Katie’s “conditions” would be relaxed some for a HC position? Definitely interesting as you say.
