just a guess, but thinking he wants to stay and is angling for a higher salary.

(p.s. random insight: i always assumed "angling for" came from approaching at an angle, ie indirectly. just realized it's a synonym for "fishing for" - in both the literal and figurative meanings.  just looked it up and confirmed the etymology. [i]took me long enough![/i])

The questions surrounding JH do not have to do with his coaching ability.  They have to do with his “staying power” for lack of a better way to put it.  He was not going to last at Stanford.  He burned his way out of SF.  So it’s a legitimate question as to whether he’s reached the end of his effective coaching life at Michigan.

Plus, there are a slew of NFL jobs available.  And if I’m looking to turn a team around, he’s high on my list.  As long as I have a strong OC or DC that can replace him if he wears out his welcome in 3or 4 years.
