Charley Weis Question

Why would you go from being the offensive coordinator of an NFL team (that made the playoffs this year) to take a job as an offensive coordinator on a college team? http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5984192

Does Florida pay that much more?

That Florida job is more likely to springboard into a head cocahing more easily and Weis prefers the kids. After tasting the college system being back in the pros must be a real drag! I'm sure Florida pays about the same. Plus an ooportunity to work with Muschamp has got to be quite attractive.

I think the Florida job will pay more, if only because they had to lure him away.

Second, I think Weiss may enjoy working with kids more than headstrong wallet fattened pros.

Third, I think Florida's prospects for a National title are greater than those at KC.

Last, I think Muschamp is so upbeat and intense, it has to be intriguing.

I realize much of this was already stated in the post above, but this is my response.
