Yep 5 kids and a wife completely across country would be a pretty valid reason.

If I had the choice I'd also go with Galloway. However, I'm not sure he wants to leave UNC or UNC will let him go easily. Hankerson is a **** of a coach. Only concern for me would be his ability to recruit.

Got 5 kids myself so I can relate. Hankerson is one of my favorite canes from that era. Kid went out and busted his tale to become a star.

If Hankerson is interested, you make that happen. Give him the PGC tag or Co-OC tag while you're at it.
Hey now! You don’t say that!

I heard on the OBB podcast that he was actually drafted by the Shanahan's. They watched him develop and brought him into coaching. He's practically family to them.
He's got a tough decision, if offered

Yep he was on the skins with the Shanahans for 3-4 years until Kyle moved to Cleveland.
I’m sure he’s highly thought of with Kyle. I have no idea if he’d do it or not. Not really sure what NFL WR coaches are paid either. I’d assume we could make the salary close with a passing game coordinator title. Sometimes it’s just more than “going from the NFL to college” especially if he lives 3,000 miles from his wife and kids.
I also doubt he’s moving up to OC in the NFL anytime soon. He’s under the right tutelage for it though. That opportunity may come pretty quickly in college.

Hank is gonna end up in Miami within 2 years regardless. I think the Dolphins OC Frank Smith gets a HC look. McDaniel probably moves Welker up to OC and it would not shock me in the least bit if he brings Hankerson over as WR coach.

Perseverance pays off for Bills wide receiver Hankerson
Growing up without a father was a challenge Leonard Hankerson had to overcome.
www.democratandchronicle.com
This is pretty old article on Hankerson and his life but it shows he is pretty close to his family.
Career-wise, obviously close to the Shanahans and also the Whipples...Mark Whipple had him at UMASS and tried to bring him over to Pitt but Narduzzi went with Chris Beatty instead, who was known as a very good recruiter.
