Arkansas vs Beliema lawsuit
LINK
After Arkansas fired Bielema, he spent two years working for the Patriots. His salary in New England was $125,000, and Arkansas accused Bielema and his agent of scheming to take an artificially low salary so that Arkansas would have to pay him more. Bielema’s Arkansas contract said the school still owed him $11.935 million when he was fired, but it also said that Arkansas could deduct his salary from his future coaching jobs.
The Patriots wanted to keep emails involving Bielema private, and they won a temporary order toward that end, but the judge in the case said that the Patriots’ emails could come out at trial.
The Patriots argued that the emails “contain competitively sensitive and personal information — including compensation paid to another member of the team’s coaching staff,” and that the team “would suffer competitive and commercial harm if this information is made publicly available.”
Now there will be no trial and no reason for the Patriots’ information to come out, as Arkansas will pay Bielema another $3.5 million, and he will release Arkansas from a further $3.9 million he had been owed under the terms of his Arkansas contract.
Bielema is now head coach at Illinois.

I mean on the surface, it honestly makes perfectly logical sense for WVU.
One question I would have is why someone with a future net worth north of $100m would put themselves through such a difficult grind all over again, especially after 60.
If the answer to that question is, "Because he already has $100m, so he really doesn't need to grind so hard anymore," then in actuality, it probably doesn't make any sense at all for WVU.
yep
plus he's still running the post/square-in/drag sprint draw play action that Mark Richt was running in 1991 as OC at Florida State
Bobby Bowden handed it to Terry Bowden to hand to Jimbo at Auburn and the nepotism never escaped out of Jimbo's thick head

WVU's AD Wren Baker had a press conference at 1 eastern. Said he's using a search company. Believe he said the same one they used for Men's basketball which has worked out well. First year coach beat Gonzaga and Arizona last week.
Was asked about the West Virginia native coaches. Wouldn't comment on Rich Rod or Jimbo. He did say he talked to Don Nehlen and Nick Saban for advice. He joked about asking Terry to let Nick come back for one more ride but Nick said that wouldn't set WVU up for future success. He also mentioned about talking with McAfee.

Why is that?

I'd love to see Nick at West Virginia.

I believe Jimbo has removed himself from consideration for the WVU job.

That buyout amount is still shocking to see and even more that they paid it
Especially when you consider that they still ended up at 8-4 with one of their best teams since joining the SEC.
They lost to Auburn for fricks sake

We would have had a losing season this year under Jimbo, he would have stuck with his five star QB until the end.
And there is no way we would have ended up with a top 10 class on ESD.
