It's like finding out an employee won the Powerball and then wondering what time they're going to show up for work to finish overseeing that huge multi-year project.

So you think it’s human nature not to be competitive?
I would think these coaches are absolutely more competitive than the average joe — some excruciatingly so.
So am I.
But you give me $100m, and after a few years, at age 57, I'm probably wondering if it's worth it to continue busting my arse for 18 hours a day, especially when it feels like that effort isn't successful (or maybe even appreciated) any more.
That's the human nature part.

The funny thing is TAMU could have gotten Jimbo with just a moderate raise and contract. He was looking to leave Tallahassee as soon as the Candi thing broke in 2014 and FSU wasn't exactly going to get into a bidding war over him. Wildly overpaying him and locking him in for a frickin decade wasn't just insane, it was totally unnecessary
