[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1674017, member: 746137"] He's put himself in a place where a lot of top coordinators are, where taking the kinds of HC jobs that they can readily get means taking a big paycut. And he's not a P5 HC candidate without either being central to a massive, durable elevation in our profile over many years (see Pat Narduzzi) or gaining a reputation as a monster, nationally elite recruiter (see Jeremy Pruitt, Mark Stoops), which he probably can't do at Illinois. Either way, this is all upside for us, that contract is easily buy-outable if we decide we want to fire him two years down the road or whatever. Good work by Whitman. I suspect this means we're going to have a darned hard time holding onto Kevin Kane now (who could vaguely sell his position as a kinda-sorta co-DC before this), but that's the business. [/QUOTE]
