And for the 197th time, this is why there is a thing coaches sign called a "contract." If UM is really that concerned he is going to leave, then they can include a clause that says another team has to pay 30 million for him. Is this unprecedented? Clemson specifically included a "Bama clause" in Dabos contract which says Bama has to pay double the buyout if he leaves for them. The "he's a mercenary" stuff is pure nonsense yet it keeps getting thrown out. Let's go over this yet again - he has only voluntarily left 2 jobs in his career. He went from Tennessee to USC, which EVERY SINGLE COACH IN THE COUNTRY WOULD DO and then left FAU after 3 years for a good SEC HC job WHICH EVERY SINGLE COACH IN THE COUNTRY WOULD DO. One last time- although this is a tired, false narrative, it's a concern that is easily addressed with a couple lines in a contract. And if he balks at making that commitment? Well now you know his plans and UM can move to the next HC on the list.
