Can you imagine Bobby Bowden ever even consider leaving FSU for the NFL? How about Joe Paterno? Those guys love their jobs and the Universittes they work for. You would think that Weis would love his alma mater too and not be out interviewing for other jobs.
I certainly couldn't milk my alma mater. I'd honor my contractual working relationship with my alma mater if I had one. Maybe that's just me. maybe it's all about rhe money nowadays. |
Bowden and Paterno are a hundred years old. If the NFL had come knocking a few decades ago, I bet they would've listened.
The thing is, Weis DID "honor his contract". If these rumors are true, then I imagine the Saints probably called him - or his agent, or whatever - and perhaps made a ballpark offer. (I strongly doubt he "interviewed" in any meaningful sense.) He'd been in the NFL for a long time before coming to ND and so it was naturally tempting, but he wanted to stay at his alma mater and so he let them know what was going on to see how they'd react. They extended his contract and gave him some more money. What's so criminal about that?
