Another thing for the Elston discussion is the question of whether the added money or success would be worth the increased stress. Especially when you have young kids, not having to worry about them hearing people call for your firing or otherwise be angry at you is probably pretty nice. Leaving might maximize his wealth but could also decrease his overall happiness.

Then there is also the aspect of actually getting to know his players. Just from the looks of it from his twitter and even his wife's, they seem to have a good relationship with his position group. Hell, Kurt Hinish filled in for Mike at their daughters' Father-Daughter dance! Maybe Mike likes being able to work more closely with the good young men at ND where if he were a HC somewhere else he wouldn't be able to concentrate on each player as much because of the size of the team as well as the extra responsibilities that come with being a HC.

This one is a little weird. Didn't he just sign an extension, then interviewed with North Texas, then Grinch came to OU. He can cruit, but I'm happy with our DBs since he left lol.

Same here. Really liked the guy while at ND. Went to Norman and apparently talked mad shit about ND anytime he could to recruits

I wonder if he was pissed about the Frozen Five or Golson situations?

Taking a defensive position coach gig in the Big 12 just seems like a bad career move IMO

No info, but likely didn't like being Co-DC (with Diaco) then had to watch ND hire BVG when Diaco left....

another example of Co-XX or Assistant HC not meaning much more than a title and a raise...

Ah ok. Yeah that would make sense.

almost an automatic stock drop lol...
TX I think will start to change things a bit though.

It's a bit cliché, but college football really is better when Tejas isn't circling the drain. The Big 12 giving up 600+ yards a game has really lost its novelty.

agree 1000%. I'm all for any conference not named SEC to improve. And TX being TX is good for CFB.

Safeties coach at Texas Tech.

Don't think we overlap with Texas Tech much except for the Stidham race a few years back. I'm sure he'll still find a way to disparage all things ND, but hopefully his commentary will have less of an impact. He can go after A&M and Texas and OU now.

I think we have 10ish offers out to TX kids, many DBs IIRC for 2020. He'll have plenty of opportunity to bash the Irish lol.

Neg recruiting might work when you're offering Oklahoma as an alternative. Less likely to matter when you're selling Texas Tech.

Yea, very little impact here. Not sure of the last recruit we went head to head with or even in a reasonable recruiting battle with. Non-event

Has anyone heard anything about Polian? I don't want to speculate too much, but he just started following NIU's AD on twitter and they need a HC after Carey just left for Temple.

I agree, but I doubt he'll stop bashing regardless of the product he is selling. Might bash even harder.

I am constantly amazed at how many men fail to unbutton their jackets before sitting.

The first response in that Twitter thread probably nailed it:

Gase was the HC when the Dolphins assistant was filmed bumping rails right before a teak meeting.
