I think, for the present, offers from Ohio State, Michigan,Bama and LSU along with Texas will still cause a successful P-4 HC to jump ship if an offer is given.
If only because of being part of a program like they are and the type of respect programs like those bring to HCs that are successful there.
Even if being considered a success at one of those programs has a higher bar than the school they are at, the challenge a prestige programs like that bring to their HC is hard to pass up, maybe even for someone like C Cig.
Of course there will be coaches that leave but I’m saying there can also be coaches that stay and every individual is different.

Just like players and people saying money is the only factor. That depends on each individual. Money, playing time/opportunity, fit to system etc can all be factors. Even for the same person it can be different from year to year. At one time it might be money as the biggest factor at another it might be I’ve made some money let me find a place where I get more playing time and fit better.

I’m just saying I wouldn’t shoe horn every situation with today’s CFB landscape and so much more possible wherever you are. Happiness where you are and less being under the microscope and in a pressure cooker can also be factors for some coaches and not just solely the status, challenge of the big jobs.

I completely disagree. Ignoring for the moment Cignetti’s age, why would he ever want to leave Indiana? He is a god there, and has proven he can compete with anyone. Why would Chesney leave UCLA to go somewhere else? He is probably living in Malibu and going out 2 or 3 times a week to some of the best restaurants in the world, and everyone is treating him like he is the king of the city. Why would he leave that to go somewhere else?
Winning national championships are always the dream for these guys, so someone like Chesney, if he continues to win at UCLA, will eventually get courted by a blue blood like Alabama, Michigan, Texas, etc.

In today’s world he can win a national championship at UCLA, he doesn’t need to go anywhere else. It’s a lot better being the king of LA than the king of Tuscaloosa.

The king of LA? lol. Behind the dodgers, Angels, Lakers, Clippers, Rams, Chargers, Kings and USC…but sure “king”’of LA 😆
Yea that’s a tough one lol. I think they got 46K in the rain last night which is quite good for them as of late. I believe they had to open up some usually tarped over sections.

From what I’ve read, my impression is the Rose Bowl isn’t a simple trip and it’s harder for fans to get there. They’re trying to break their agreement with the Rose Bowl which runs til the early 2040s iirc and play at SoFi but no idea how easy or difficult that might be.

Yes, it would be terrible to be having dinner at a 5 star restaurant at the same time Luka and Shohei are there instead of have chicken and waffles down in Alabama.

Stop looking at it from your perspective. King of LA, there’s one of those every ten blocks though some my prefer you call them Queen.
