As a young girl (and huge Chicago sports fan) this was my favorite poster growing up
I can remember… junior high me, thinking this one was about as cool as it got:

…these two were up there as well:

I think they were put to bed weeks ago.
I’ll defer to insiders here, but it’s entirely possible Brad was never necessarily “itching” to leave Illinois and this IS - at least in some meaningful sense - his dream job. He might just be a guy (or his agent or both of them or whatever) that feels he always needs to make sure he’s getting paid what he feels he’s worth … he DID become a coach quite late.

Don't get me wrong, I really like BU and am very happy to have him as our coach. That said, this "making sure" should take this long: 1) I am paid in the top 10-20 coaches in the country 2) I have made it to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament zero times. Conclusion: I'm paid what I'm worth (or better)

He’s the 8th highest paid in country but yes your point still stands

Ryan was a head coach for 17 years before getting the Badgers job.
No, he was a D-I head coach for two years before getting the Badgers job. (He was at Milwaukee…D-1 for 2 yrs.)

I guess you’re right if you wanna count UW-Platteville? That’s a DIII school. He was there for 15 years.

He was puttering around for 27 years before he got his first D-I head job. (Milwaukee)…2 high schools for short stints…a small college (DCof R…DII) …& an assistant with the Badgers for almost a decade…and 15 at Platteville DIII

Seems he was puttering around with a girlfriend on the side for a number of years too. His own NL so to speak.
