Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Giants coaching job is coveted. Some names I've heard in recent days: Dave Toub (Chiefs), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa) and Kyle Whittingham (Utah).

I never want to see Whitt leave. But I’ve always been interested to see how he’d do at another program.
Utah has so many weird quirks here. I think Whitt would kill it in a more professional environment.
I’m not a member, but I imagine we hear an official announcement on Gary soon.

Somebody just tweeted: Herm Edwards is now the longest tenured coach in Arizona.
Maybe this is like the Y going independent. UA just had to act after ASU hired Edwards--they coulnt let their bitter rival make a crazy hire alone.

Just after the 2011 season, the PAC-12 turned over 33% of their HCs.
This year is even crazier, with the same teams turning over in our division.
PAC-South
School 2012 2018
ASU - Erickson > Graham > Edwards
UA - Mike Stoops > RichRod > ??
UCLA - Neuheisal > Mora > Kelley
PAC-North
Oregon - Taggart > Cristobal
OSU - Andersen > Jonathan Smith
Cal - Dykes > Wilcox (last year)
USC has had even more turnover over the past decade, and their fans have been grumbling about Clay Helton since Day 1.
2018 might be the best opportunity yet to make a run. If we can get Mitch and Matt to stay, with Gary playing a Dennis Erickson-like role, we might be positioned to poach some recruits from other PAC schools and make a serious run.

Les Miles to Arizona? Rumors are flying. Wowza.
If he goes to Arizona and if Darnold stays, I’d rank the south for next year like this (at this point):
1 - USC
1 a and b - Utah and Arizona
4 - UCLA
6 - ASU and Colorado
Texas A&M apparently went after LSU DC Dave Aranda (former coach at Utah, and DC at USU and Wisconsin with Gary Andersen).
LSU responded by giving Dave a $2.5M/yr, 4- year, guaranteed contract. He is now by far the highest paid coordinator in the nation. Way to go, Dave!
Wow. The sheer amount of money in CFB is incredible.
