And if he wins his second natty in two years?

Yeah, I just don't see him leaving Vanderbilt and the pinnacle of success in his profession to go start all over at LSU where the BEST he could do is MATCH his current level of success.

Now, I guess it is possible he hates working at Vandy, or living in Nashville, or any other reason to leave. But if it is just to accept a massive contract LSU would have to offer I think you would have to question the motivation a bit. Is a 60 year old HC who has already built a legacy of great success really motivated to build up another program for, at best, another 8-10 years? Or is LSU his retirement in a profession that until relatively recently did not pay a ton for coaches? Win or lose he would still get paid a massive sum of money and his legacy as one of the great CBB coaches would already be secure.

All things being equal, I think I would almost rather Pat Casey. He's about the same age as Corbin. He has had as much, if not more success. But, the fire to coach again may be burning a little hotter after being away for a few years. Whereas Corbin would be leaving the top of the mountain just to try (and be expected to) climb right back up it.
