His agent would be keeping him updated on all the openings as he should as his representative. They've (his wife and him) probably talk about every big job and/or had a list (idea) of where they would go if the job was open and the money right. When you've made 28MM by 38, you have plenty of options. His moving is nothing like us. He has done it throughout his career. It is part of the job. As for the assistants, you go where you have a job. If they stay behind, they may not have a job in 30 days.
Few, if any, on this board would turn down a similar bump in pay and all the perks. IN the end, I hate the landscape and trajectory CF is on but LR lived up to his contract and will have to pay OU 4.5MM to move on. OU should have made that buyout higher. Also, if he doesn't want to coach at OU why would you want him?
Good points but would Lincoln have had any of his opportunities if it weren't for Bob and OU.
Would he be pulling in the money he has made at OU and will make at $C? His rise has been very fast because of Bob and OU so the little jerk should have showed some common decency and respect.
I seriously doubt he would be a HC by now if not for Bob. OC at a big name school perhaps and perhaps a HC at a Middle of the Road Program but not anywhere like where he is now and in so short an amount of time.
Pay me 8 mil to Coach OU and I would never leave.
And one thing I have been meaning to ask.
Riley has said since he took his new job that u$c is serious and commited to winning.
Its been mentioned on this board before that OU doesn't seem to be serious enough about winning National Titles. So is Riley hinting at something there or not there about OU's commitment in that area?
He said it a few times so most likely it was just a script he stuck to but I wonder.
