He may just want to be a pro coach but the NFL salaries are higher so likely a lateral move pay wise I would think.
The question is whether Azzanni is ready to be an OC.
If he isn't, Butch will just have to take the risk of him leaving to CMU and take a small recruiting hit.
2015 is a big year, but it's not just about next year. Realistically, whoever Butch gets will need to be a fairly long-term hire. Someone he can count on through 2016 and 2017. Potential playoff years. Is Azzanni capable of that?
I think we're in position to land a big name. Can't pass that up if you get the opportunity, IMO.
But Butch is an offensive guy himself. He's been a WR coach and an OC.
I'm not that worried.
Losing Jancek, on the other hand, would have been disastrous.
