Monte Kiffin was DC in Tampa for 15 years.
Both of these guys were highly regarded coaches for good teams.
I'm not sure you read what was written. In it I talked about position coaches either moving up to coordinator jobs, taking more elsewhere, being paid at the current position at or near the top, or staying for winning.
Right off the bat, your Kiffin example makes little to no sense for this debate. I specifically mentioned position coaches. I even said most position coaches, when either good or great, move on to coordinator roles. Debating why a coordinator stays in one spot is an entirely different conversation than an OL coach.
As for the Patriots coach. I remember sarcastically writing that maybe Paul has stayed for all the winning done here. Well that may actually have been true for the Patriots coach. He had been to what, 6 Superbowls during his tenure. As an OL/Assistant HC he enjoyed a great deal of personal and team success.
Maybe, just maybe an OL coach wants to only be an OL coach and isn't interested in more money. Ok, fair enough. But like I said before, what's keeping him in one spot? Success? Being paid at or near the top? Because Paul hasn't had the success. And I highly doubt money kept him from 1993 to 20xx either. Also, Scarnecchia was hired away at one point, leaving for the Colts in 1989.
Again, what's keeping Paul here? You tell me.
