He applied, interviewed, and stayed in the running up until the point where he got an offer, but turned it down. You don’t do that if you’re only interested in being a HC. He has already been turned down as HC by Indiana and Oregon State after interviewing there; his days as a competitive candidate at a power conference program are probably over. He is from Madison - doesn’t give a damn about cold weather. The issue was either lack of money or autonomy.My read is completely different. He's decided he wants to be the head man. With an $11M buyout and living in Austin, not sure if -40 degree temps is enticing.
