When another team shows up at your doorstep remember what you have said. What I learned in life chasing the bigger paycheck was not always the best move.  Jones left us for his dream school and where is he coaching

Sure, but I think, especially to Jones, and most likely to SL, there are more things than money. It may not be a good career move overall, but you can't boil everything down to a business decision in these scenarios. Careers aren't like normal investments, where you take the most profitable option if for no other reason than it's direct dealing of your own life.

Trust me, when I invest, it's in the most profitable businesses/ventures (hello real estate!). But my career is different. I care about the people I work with, the vision I have for myself, location, family, etc. (not necessarily in that order). I believe these things mattered more to Jones, and matter more to SL. Especially if the report re: SL bringing over his whole staff or no-go is true.
