Bo stayed on at LSU, Kiffin is staying on at Bama.

It's not unusual, I think you can find enough cases going either way.



Pelini stayed on because LSU was playing the the BCS NCG. And Alabama is in the playoffs. Pitt is playing in the prestigious New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Kind of different situation than staying on when national title is on the line.

I'm all for Canada staying on for the bowl game. Think its a classy move by him to finish the job this season and shows he's well respected by Pitt for them to keep him for the bowl game. But I still think its unusual. I can't think of any other situations where it was already announced that a coach was leaving for another school but still stayed on to coach in a 2nd-3rd tier bowl game.

2 things; 1. He isnt installing a new offense in a dozen Bowl Practices. No reason for him to be here. 2. This is no different than giving a 2 weeks notice in a real job. It shows respect and I think its noteworthy that hes doing it.
