Jimbo Fisher was fired by A$M and got $78m to sit on a beach.
Malzahn would have received $15m to sit on a beach if he were fired. Instead he just walked away to take a $1.5M a year job.
He says he wants to run UNC like a semi-NFL team, lol.
He will soon find out that 18-22 year old know-it-all college kids are a lot different than 23-35 year old men.
I'd rather this announcement was the Cowboys hiring him.
HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because:
We can't afford bowl game pricing.
We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team.
We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation.
We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games.
We basketball.
We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games.
We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco.
We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in.
We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year.
We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather.
We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear.
We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band.
Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway.
HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium.

Malzahn, 59, said he chose to return to his coaching roots rather than remain a head coach distracted by new-age responsibilities. Malzahn walked away from $15 million guaranteed -- he was set to make $5 million in 2025 and had three years remaining on his contract with the Knights -- for a different coaching lifestyle. He signed a three-year deal with FSU that will pay him $1.5 million in 2025.
"The job description of a head college football coach has changed dramatically in the last two years with everything -- transfer portal to collectives to agents and everything that goes with that," Malzahn said. "I'm just an old-school football coach.
"I love coaching football, and head coaches, it's hard to do that a lot. So that had something to do with it. And then the opportunity..."
