Vigen's Ability to Reload and Rebuild

[onceacat]

After winning a national championship with both his kids on the team. I can't see him leaving next year when his team could be even better for a repeat.

While that's a wonderful thought, the chance to make truly life-changing, generational wealth is likely too much to pass up, especially considering he's already turned two chances down. At some point, he's going to take a job at the FBS level. He's too good not to.

That opportunity isn't going away if he stays for another year or two. In fact, he probably gets better offers if wins a couple natties.

Just as an example: Vigen passed up on a crappy HC job at OSU (and probably last year at WSU)...And then, lo and behold, the best coaching position in the region opened up when Kyle Whittingham left Utah....With a couple championships under his belt, Vigen would be a clear top candidate for the Utah OC job at a similar pay scale to OSU/WSU, but with a chance to actually compete in the CFP. How long do we think the new coaches at OSU/WSU/Nevada are going to last? Utah keeps its coaches for decades. Theres more money in longevity than in jumping at every new opportunity.

Point being: There will be bad HC jobs opening up every single year in the region (I'd bet Nevada next year), but if Vigen plays his cards right, he should be in the mix for actual good jobs. No need to pull a Jeff Choate and chase whatever shiny object distracts your attention.
