“Sullivan may want to take a look at the basketball program and see what’s happening. Apparently the parents are mad even though the coach has improved the team both years he’s been there and all mad cause their kid isn’t getting enough PT or used the “right” way. Would he have issues even if he had success cause the right people’s kids weren’t playing the right position or getting enough time on the field.”

I agree. Money is great but patience is likely going to get him what he ultimately wants anyway. Everybody knows he can coach. He doesn’t have to take a rebuild to prove that. He will be an awesome head coach whenever that happens. It comes down to if he needs or wants the money and/or just wants to create a program of his own. He has a young family and that reportedly weighs heavily on this decision. Parents want and usually do what’s best for their kids. Is that money now or maybe wait and see for later? What opportunities are available at each place? Being coach at one school and having your kids go somewhere else is probably not the best look so does taking the new gig and moving your kids/family to a new school impact their relationships with friends and teammates and does it lower their opportunities as they progress through high school? I think it most definitely changes a lot of things for the kids. I know what my decision would be but I can see how it is a difficult decision also.
