Yes, he “quit” to go to A&M just like Bill Curry “quit” to go to Kentucky.

Dennis had a contract extension with Bama waiting for him to sign when he bailed for College Station.

Curry had one too, but didn't like the terms:

But the relationship between Curry and Ingram reached its iciest point later in December, when Curry was given the terms of a contract extension he so desperately wanted. Rather than giving him job security, Curry said, the new agreement restricted his power to effectively run his program.

It included no mention of a raise, stripped him of his ability to hire and fire assistant coaches, and relieved the university of all previous commitments to guarantee his outside income should Alabama decide to fire him, which, according to the contract, it could have at any time and without reason.

It was shortly after reading the terms of the new contract that Curry decided to talk about the Kentucky opening with C.M. Newton, UK’s persistent athletic director.

I guess Curry has the best case to say he was R-U-N-N-O-F-T by the Bama PTB. At least they didn't try to say he was abusing players or screwing his female staff.
