the new school has a massive hole in its program.

A very good coach can also get ever more competitive offers - or the new coach can see his job go to another coach!

In college football, entire athletic programs and even major portions of school funding are dependent on the success of the football coach.

In many states, the coach is the highest paid public employee by far!
