I admit to hearing about his short tenure as HC when he was hired, not the particulars. His O-line recruiting here has been stellar so far so this makes me feel better about keeping him. He already has "offensive coordinator" as part of his title so the only thing that could realistically lure him away is a HC job...assuming he doesn't want to actually be OC.
You never know about what drives someone. imo, he basically has a golden ticket at Texas as long as Sarkisian wins and the OL produces… and he has that with fairly circumscribed responsibilities that he appears to be excellent at carrying out.
Does he want a higher risk, potentially higher reward OC or HC position when he, at best, hasn’t demonstrated the same aptitude as he has in his current position?
A risk-averse person might be tempted to keep cashing those fat checks and have as close to carte blanche in selecting his players as anyplace in the country, while getting, at least, the very possible “rising tide lifts all boats” salary bumps that come with kicking ass.
A less risk-averse person might want different challenges.
I don’t write the checks, but he’d be one of three guys after Sarkisian who would not be allowed to leave because of money.
