I wonder how much of this was encouraged versus instigated by Hansen himself.  Hansen spent 7 years as our LB coach, which seems like a fairly long tenure for a position coach.  On the one hand, the Stanford job probably promised about as good job stability as you can expect as a college position coach.  On the other hand, his prospects of advancing by staying were probably limited as one presumes that if there were an internal candidate to replace Anderson were he to leave, that Akina (who has DC experience) would be the inside track.
