I don't disagree with them leaning into it. It's just crazy that they likely had a chance to keep the coach of their biggest revenue generator for another 5 years and wouldn't do what they had to.

We couldn't force his daughter to move to New Orleans.

We gave him a low buyout when he signed his extension after the Cotton Bowl. We have begun the infrastructure items that have been lacking. We offered him the same salary Houston gave him.

However, we're not in the P5. We aren't in the city where his daughter lives and where his wife's friends live. There's no shame in that, and I wish him the best.
