None of it adds up, I think they are just making **** up
Al basically hired an overqualified dude with full knowledge that he was overqualified and would be moving on at the first (better) opportunity. If Mario splits, it is what it is. Happens all the time when you hired overqualified people. It's a chance you take when you make the choice to hire that person.
I was laid off from my job a couple years back. After I got let go, I took the first job that I was offered next, even though it was a position that was beneath me. My new boss knew it, and I knew it. I worked there for a couple months, then got a better job at a more prestigious company for more money. Guess that makes me a Fredo.
No. I have no idea what your career is or how much money you were making at that job you left quickly. But to analogize normal day to day jobs to the job that Fredo has is not persuasive. I'm going to assume you weren't making $500K at the fill-in job and that it wasn't a job at your alma mater where you were given the Associate HC position.
Furthermore, to your statement of over-qualification, if Fredo's overqualified for the Associate HC job here, then he's just as overqualified for the OL corching gig at Bama.
You can whine about it all you want and call the dude a traitor and Fredo and whatever else...but you'd do the same **** thing if you were intelligent about your career.
He currently has a job at a program that has been mediocre for the last decade and is still in the throes of the longest NCAA investigation on record. He obviously has the potential for substantially more money at a program (Bama) that has spent the last half-decade on top of the football world. Bama would give him more of an opportunity for immediate success at the highest level, hence much more visibility on a national scale. He obviously wants to be a HC again soon, and being part of a national title contender would likely get him there faster than being part of a rebuild at UM.
He never swore that he'd be here through thick and thin, didn't take an oath to the U family to stay on staff forever and see us through good times and bad. He's got a job at his alma mater, which is great...but he'd be dumb as a rock not to at least listen to overtures for a job at a better program that pays more. And he's been up-front with Golden the whole time; he's not stabbing anyone in the back.
