I don't think it plays as big of a factor in football as it does in basketball, but it is definitely going to spread the wealth around more than previously.
Jeff Walz is not leaving Louisville for Kentucky. That would be a downgrade, and Louisville will pay him whatever he wants. There would have to be some advantage beyond money that UK could provide. What would that be?
Skip is THIRSTY for relevance. His two most recent co-workers (SAS and Uncle Shay) are absolutely thriving, and Skip is an afterthought.
Assuming you really believe in Deion's ability to recruit and coach, "the next Alabama dynasty" is a ridiculous take, even by Skip's standards. There won't be a "next Alabama." That's done. The transfer portal ended that.
And that's my concern with him. If he takes the Louisville job, would he bolt to IU when that opens again.
Also I just don't think he's done enough to get me excited for him to be Louisville's coach.
Scott Drew at Baylor is the #1 target, if he wants it, it's his.
There is a "clear second choice" lined up that would apparently take it if Drew says no.
While definitely a longshot, the possibility of Billy Donovan is out there, but still pretty unlikely at this point.
