Some coordinators might stay for job security, but, for most, if you can make even a million more a year for a few years, that's a lot of money. Marvin approached Hue with his succession plan (reportedly), but the millions were guaranteed right then in Cleveland.

Lordy loo, just how awful do Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis have to be at their jobs before Bengals fans stop being bewildered why anyone would want to be somewhere other than Cincinnati?  I'll admit that Hue Jackson may very well be an insane person and there is evidence to support that...however, the guy would rather bet on himself as a HC with an organization that will invest in him (perhaps?) versus playing the status quo game as the 4th banana in an organization that seems stale.

It's like asking why a guy who makes $35k a year clocking in for someone else's business would risk that stability and start a business of his own.  You bet on yourself.  You win some, you lose some.  Some guys just don't have the ability to sit on a bench and be happy.
