He is now a top 20 paid college coach (not basketball coach, just coach). He's the 6th highest paid college basketball coach (according to what I could find, he might be just behind Izzo, which would make him 7th) in the US and the highest paid basketball coach without a National Championship.
So the "mid-major" distinction is largely irrelevant.

That still does not change the fact that he opted to take less money at a mid major rather than take more money and coach at Alabama.
I see what you're saying, and it has merit, because Wichita St. is a high paying mid major job. But my point still stands.
I don't think so. In my limited memory, most successful mid major coaches have welcomed the challenge of taking a job at a higher profile school.

Agree. It's not like Alabama got turned down by some nobody mid major guy. He got a 7 year 3.3/year contract to coach at a place where he is a God and can win with 2 star talent. He doesn't have to deal with insane boosters, AAU coaches, or recruiting non stop against Calipari, Donovan, Pearl, etc. I would have stayed for 3.3 million as well.
