I completely agree, and continuing to coach at Stanford may or may not appeal once his kids graduate Stanford.  One could hardly blame him if he was looking for new challenges (coaching at a higher profile school, coaching in the NFL, something other than coaching football).  That being said, his kids were a long way from college back in 2012/2013 and I wonder how many non-alum coaches would value a Stanford education for their kids over the opportunity to coach in the NFL or a higher profile college team.  My guess is not many.  Even "non stupid" coaches know that the half-life of college coaches is only a few years, so I'm not sure it would be worth pinning one's hopes for one's kids on still being around a decade later.
