He only really failed at FSU. He turned around a struggling USF, went to two bowls in four years and had a 10 win season, the most in school history. Then, he had a winning season and sent Oregon to a bowl he didn't coach in, with what was an 8 loss team the year before, and immediately got a big raise to go to FSU.
He also made $40 million along the way.
So... Three jobs since FSU, two of them successful, enough money at those stops to live off $1 million+ per year without touching principal... And he's gone from Kentucky to Boca Raton.
Tip of the hat, Willie. I'm sure you can import a lithe, supple goat to the Atlantic coast if you miss the old WKU lifestyle.
