Since he probably makes a couple mil a year I’m not sure he would be fine with leaving. Sure a P5 is attractive but if you have a good thing going with a sizable salary I think the smart move is ride it out. P5 teams are really cut throat and you could be gone in a couple years and be a unattractive hire. Plus LU gave him a chance when other teams turned their backs on him. I’m not sure about other folks but I would remember that forever and know who has my back when things go south.....not many people.

I think this is a valid take. Freeze can be "the man" here with less stress than at a P5, but there is a trade off that he won't compete for a national championship here. Is that something he's willing to give up? That's up to him to make that decision. I think he'll be gone sooner than later but I also think he'll only leave for a school that will fully support him, warts and all, as there will still be a large negative backlash to whoever hires him.
