You have plenty of money to someone, but I guarantee you'd go after 3-5x the amount in a heartbeat.

Looking more and more like Pruitt is heading to Tennessee. I don't think they would leak his name out like this after the Schiano fiasco to then turn around and hire Steele. Fans will be a lot more excited about a young fiery coordinator like Pruitt than a older Steele whose only stint as the head man failed miserably.

He's been a head coach before. It did not go well. As a DC he's focused on football, as a head coach he'd have to deal with the media, boosters, and represent the university. I don't see him wanting to take that on. Not to mention Tennesse is a huge mess.
Sounds to me like you are making a lot of assumptions to convince yourself as to why a guy wouldn't take an obvious promotion for a huge pay raise. Steele has looked at other smaller HC jobs (as mentioned, USA) so he clearly has interest in trying again. What, he'd leave for USA but he wouldn't go to his alma-mater, in the SEC? Steele is also a notorious job hopper, so you're going to have a hard time convincing me that he'd be worried about "stress" or anything like that. If he cared about that, he wouldn't be leaving for a new school every other year.
It looks like its probably going to be Pruitt anyway, but a lot of this looks like people trying to convince themselves that Muschamp wouldn't leave for South Carolina ("but but he failed at Florida, he'd be stupid to take an offer at South Carolina!")

Does it really matter how their rationalizing the situation if their conclusion is correct?

That had more to do with him being a QB coach who had an NFL arm but got zero production out of him. Not to mention the O against any legit team his final two seasons was a joke.

Huh? They are concluding that if offered the job, he wouldn't leave to go be the HC at an SEC school wherein he'd make 3x or more than he would here, at his alma-mater no less.
He would obviously leave for that offer.

Yeah your’re right just saying mainly his age would be a concern. It’s not like he’s in his 40s with a lot of energy. Dude is almost 65. That’s retirement age for me baw.

We've had our first decent defense since Tubs, why wouldn't we want him to stay? I was never one of those people that said that about Muschamp, he was plenty young. CKS may leave, and I wouldn't be thrilled if he did, but he's 60 years old, and I'm doubting Fulmer is dismissing his four years as head coach where he went 9-36 as HC at Baylor. It's not like he's broke either, $1.1MM a year. Pruitt is 43 years old and seems ready to give it a go, but maybe I'm guilty of trying to convince myself.
