I honestly think it's ego more than money. The best college coaches are making $2-3M per season now. At some point you would think that enough is enough.

If you are happy at what you are doing and making $1M plus doing it, why change?

Coaches are always a season or two away from becoming a casualty. That's why recruiting is do or die. It's more money than ego. Why would any coach go to Miami? Or say Spurrier to the Redskins? You are right in some part, tho.
