Here is the deal, these coaches don't take these jobs blindly. They know exactly what they are getting into when they take a job somewhere and they know exactly who they are going to work for. Yea, you might get your ass chewed on a few times in the public arena but you will also more than likely leave Bama with other job offers and or a chance to become a HC at a major program if you stick it out. I think a couple of ass chewings is worth a UT or UGA head job.

It's the nature of the beast.
