He did want out, but I'm thinking that was more to do with realizing he'd never get a HC position here (Marvin was NEVER leaving!) and he stayed specifically for that opportunity. Turned down going with Zimmer, and his good friend Gruden holding out hope Marvin was going to be gone soon. Remember when Zimmer left how "high" Ownership was on him.  Even said (or it was reported) they believe he was the "next Zimmer".

I do believe there was a sense he was the next head coach.

But he didn't want to wait until 2030.
