I don't know his specific contract situation but generally there's not a mechanism to stop a coach from leaving to go to college.

From what I remember it was that he was willing to interview but the Jags told him not to and I guess he didn't have a guarantee of getting the job here so didn't want to be left in the lurch like what eventually happened to that Boston College coach.

That's what was most widely reported: He wasn't assured of getting the LSU job and the Jags told him if he interviewed it was over for him in Jax. I'm not sure how he would have done. He really had never been a college coach at any level if I recall and would have no experience in recruiting. Regardless of how good a coach you are, you must have the Jimmys and Joes. He wasn't really that great at Jax.
