When a certain name keeps popping up for these types of jobs, it can be a sign that feelers have been extended. Not always, but often. If you add in all the off-the-field drama, I know I would be looking for any way out if I were Sixx.
You are right, not always but often. I think the off field drama is something that has been highly exaggerated on here. It has been a focus on many threads on here. Not so much or at all anywhere else. I don't know of many FCS head coaches that are not interested when an FBS school shows interest in them. Especially when the salary difference is so substantial. Yes there are those coaches who for one reason or another are satisfied with where they are and not looking to move up. Being a FCS head coach is a stepping stone job.
And there you have it. It can only remain under wraps for so long. It's a perfect time to bail if he has the opportunity. Pete Carroll-style.
