Unless he was led to believe that accepting a DC position would directly and quickly lead him back to a HC position in the NFL, I would think him smarter to stay put and comfortable.

I though coordinators in the NFL made a lot more than that.

Can't blame him for staying at Illinois under those circumstances.
