re: Is Luke Fickell officially off the table?

It certainly seems like he would want to stay up there, considering that is where him and his family are from. Now maybe you could lure him to BR with another 3-4 million a year or he could see himself getting a raise if he continues this at Cinci.

I'm sure almost every coach would like to remain in the region of their choice. I think more often than not they go where the opportunity is. There's no assurance that any opportunity would ever open up when and where he wants it to.

I wouldn't want a HC that would choose home over opportunity. Speaks to someone that's fine staying in his comfort zone. Where the hell is Saban from? Midwest? What about Bear Bryant?

"He wants to stay home," this isn't a conversation we have about transcendent coaches.
