So the questions that he or anyone else for that matter should be asking is, "Am I Happy". He has multiple levels to consider, does he make enough money to provide for his family and future, is the family happy with his job, do they live in a nice safe place, and whatever else is important to him. More money does not not guarantee happiness, as a matter of fact, it quite often leads to more stress. So point is, if his family likes Fargo and NDSU, and can manage to survive on 500K a year in pay and benefits plus all the other little perks a person of his status gets around town, then why leave. And if more money and a P5 coaching job is his desire, and it is offered, then go for it.
    I've been offered jobs that pay double and turned them down, but I obviously dont make the same level or money as Bill Snyder.

    Big difference between 100k to 200k to 300k to 400k when your talking 3 million. That's more than most people will make their entire working life. You could literally work for 2 years and never work again. Its life changing money

    3 million a year Is retirement money. That's just an absurd amount of money.

    Yeah, this coupled with the fact that he doesn’t really have much else to prove here in Fargo would lead me to believe he’s gone.

    Hr hadn't been offered yet, as far as we know. But if he is, he will take it

    It is and it is isn’t. I’ve worked in the hedge fund and private equity industry for the last twenty five years. As a result I know lots of peeps who have made seven and even eight digit annual incomes PLUS have nine digits of off shore carried interest. Yet they keep coming to work day in and day out because their life style changes to adapt in most cases.
    Don't believe everything you think.
