This is going to be the trend going forward. More schools can afford to pony up and keep a coach they like. The big programs can't just outspend everyone like it used to be. On top of that, expectations at the big schools are such that it is increasingly not worth it to go to a pressure cooker of a program and risk getting fired in a couple of years when you've got a comfortable gig that is paying a competitive salary.

Excellent point. Maybe the "fire everybody" craze will slow down as well.

Yep, stability is a consideration as well. Georgia with Mark Richt is a prime example. Richt might never win a NC at UGA but we will always have a solid and clean program under his direction. And as long as the money keeps rolling in our admins will be happy. Our admins are really more focused on increasing the academic standing of our institution. A NC in football would be great but they are not going all in to get one.
