The tides are changing.

College coaches no longer have to go to the NFL to make good money. They're not going to take these marginal NFL jobs just to flame out after 2 years.

This. This. This.

Why leave somewhere you're making comparable money, and you have autonomy over your personnel, recruiting, schemes etc..
and you deal with 18-22 year old kids, most of whom are busting their tail to impress you/earn a spot vs. coaching spoiled millionaires who will always outlast a coach.

Exactly. The NFL job risks aren’t worth the reward anymore for college coaches. Why go to the NFL when you are already making millions, control your own program, don’t have to put up with NFL players spoiled shite, and for someone like Campbell can go 7-5, 8-4 every year and be a hero, while a few 7-9, 8-8’s in the NFL can get you canned.
