[I]So under your theory, money and stability means nothing to a coach and it is all about rising to better jobs? I'll respectfully disagree and cite Greg Schiano, Les Miles, Frank Beamer, Bob Stoops, Pat Fitzgerald, Bobby Petrino, etc. as current head coaches who have turned the opportunity to interview for "bigger" jobs in return for new contracts at their current institutions.    [/I]

You're sort of making my point.  Head coaches are at the top so you can throw money at them to keep them in place if they're in a top tier job (stoops, beamer and miles).  another batch of your examples are loyal to cash.  schiano reupped and is vastly overpaid relative to his success.  he really fd up by not leaving when he should have.  petrino is an odd example, as he's shown himself to be loyal to nothing but cash his whole career.  head coaches are in a position to be "loyal", assuming the cash is correct.  assistants are not, however, and you've left that piece out.  urban meyer's florida staff are head coaches all over the place now.  nick saban's lsu staff are head coaches all over the place now.  pete carroll's usc staff almost all had shots at being hc.  that's the business and there's not stopping it.  our dream should be that our defense is so good that shaeffer is a hot commidity in the offseason.  that will mean we're really good, which is the point, no?
