Steve Spurrier
Nick Saban
Jimbo Fisher

Am I missing anyone else? Spurrier's decision was likely the wrong one, while Saban clearly made the correct long-term decision. Jimbo is yet to be decided.

SPURrier was frustrated at UF.

If you want to go really old-school Wallace Wade left Alabama for Duke.

Lou Holtz quit Notre Dame and moved on to other places.

John Robinson won a title at USC and moved on.

This isn’t as uncommon as it seems.

The better question is what national championship winning coaches fled to another job because their wife was getting the root laid to her?

Jimbo pretty well has this one. No other national title winning coach has ever gone to another job because his wife was getting the high hard one.

Two stadiums named after the man no less.

Ehhhhhhhhh, that's not really what happened at ND but, anyways ... and he moved on to another place, singular, not plural. He saved us ... but there was a reason he came out of retirement.

He never coached here but we did beat him when he was at Southern Cal.

Johnny won it then went to Tennessee. While he never won another Natty he had a good career at Tenner. I would give at least part of the Vols Natty with the fat man to Johnny's influence.

What a scumbag Phat Phil is for what he did to Johnny.

Anyone else think Phat Phil might be carrying a jinx around with him? I mean like a curse even?
