off the MNC run, UNC was offering significantly more money, had better everything by miles, and a much more stable conference affiliation. VT was not a football brand (yet), only 7 years into a 27 year bowl streak, and I don't believe the stadium had been expanded either so we were running ~45K seats. UNC was substantially more money, and this was before football coaches were making enormous sums so substantially more money mattered. Frank's decision was clearly "cash in while your stock is as high as it could be" and he still stayed.

By contrast, CJF is not riding high on a run of any kind, we are clearly a better football brand than Baylor (my opinion), we live in a better conference than Baylor (my opinion), and he is paid an enormous sum of money, so there are a bit of diminishing returns relative to being paid an even more enormous sum of money. I keep hearing that Baylor has great facilities relative to ours, but I don't have any data to make the comparison. Not to mention, we have 20 of 22 starters back and a schedule that sets up for 10-11 wins next season. So, his stock will likely be much higher in December than it is right now. It was actually wise and self-serving for him to stay.
