so would you have stayed at Boise on the premise that you "may" get to the title game? what would you have done?
obviously, Hat would have stayed at Boise
I would have gone with the money, because there is no guarantee I would ever get an offer like that again. If Boise loses to Virginia Tech and another team, I am just another good D coordinator in a non-bcs conference. I am sure I will get nice offers, but not THAT nice of offers. I think the salary provides a nice insurance even if the Dooley regime fails. That doesn't mean it isn't a calculated risk.
I don't know that Hat would have stayed at Boise. He just said Wilcox has got to be wincing when looking at UT's roster, even compared to what he left. If you don't realize UT is down at this point, there is nothing I can say that will show you that. Boise State is a legitimate top 10 or 15 team. Tennessee isn't necessarily a legitimate top 50 team. Sure, there is a higher ceiling and potential of success at UT, but it is going to take work and time. And a little luck for a change.
