That's funny. College football is rent-a-coach. It's "what have you done for me lately?" and that is both ways...coach and program each year. A "half warm" coaching candidate will not sign that. Sure, they may verbally say that but never sign their name to that. The buyout clause, whatever it says will rule. Rhoades knows this.

For loyalty, buy a dog. I guess Mizzou fans are very spoiled after GP's 15 years.

Here is the #6 point you missed in your pitch. Per Scott Roussel of FootballScoop.com:

“This is an SEC job, now, where they’ve proven a path to win the SEC East. You win the SEC, you get into the playoffs. There, you have a chance to win the national championship. It’s a great job. It’s a very good job. You can win championships. Supposedly next year, they’re going to break ground on the new football facilities. That would help, too, but that’s not a dealbreaker for anybody. You’ve proven you can win championships. Gary has elevated the status as a program tremendously, and people are just hoping to build upon what he’s done."
