300k work for Golden 750k work for Saban. Cmon man, he saw the sinking ship. Just be thankful we are on an upward trajectory for the first time since 2002, and firing core values was the start of it.
Cut the crap. He ACCEPTED a job on a sinking ship and then stayed for a couple of weeks.
I don't care what the situation was, if you are wary of joining Golden, DON'T ACCEPT THE JOB. It's his god**** alma mater, it's not Southwest Missouri State or some such nonsense.
Do you honestly believe that Mario would never have gotten another offer in his life if he had stayed with Golden? **** no. This is not a D'Onofrio situation. People can see that a UM alum stuck it out in a bad situation with a horrible coach, and Mario would have gotten a ton of offers for himself.
It's not complicated. My own school is not like any other employer. I'm not going to accept an offer at UM, and then quit weeks later. That's just ridiculous, and don't BS me with that Saban nonsense. If that's the job he wanted, he should have waited a couple of weeks to decide.
