I think he'd have a pretty safe first 5 years in Louisville depending on probation, and outcomes tbh. But I don't know, it's a lot of money, and I can't blame him for entertaining that thought. I think Mack is a better X's and O's guy than Matta and Miller, I don't know if that's recency bias, or whatever, but it's in my mind. Also, Mack's keeping Xavier at this high level in a big boy conference as opposed to A-10, etc. I think that also would come into play, it's not like we're a mid-major team or anything, we're playing tough competition game in and game out, that's why I believe Mack would succeed if he left. My two cents.

I know Chris' parents. First class people with happiness values that are not primarily based on $$$. In fact, his Dad has a history of employment based upon what he wants to do and what he can contribute, even if it means less money. I am certain they have set an example.
And as to the 5 mil vs. 6 mil issue, 3 mil x20 years beats 5 mil for 5 or 10 years and I could live well on either.
Also, he knows X is a great fit. He can only guess how Louisville would be.
Wear blue at games!

That assumes both tracks are similar with respect to balancing level of success with expectations, and what that means for surviving the job.
Which track has the more patient disposition? The answer is Xavier's track.
If it is reasonable to argue that it is more probable that his "life expectancy" at Xavier will make it the full 10 years, then the aggregate figure is $30 mil. All that assumes his energy and passion for X stays where it is such that he continues to achieve success as he's been doing, hopefully getting to a NC win at some point.
If he lasts 6 years at UL, he matches what the Xavier track has to offer, with these assumptions being made about compensation. Let's forgot about the time value of money in all this.
We throw these differences in ANNUAL COMPENSATION out like they're candy at Halloween. The annual comp is the multiplicand, right? The question is what the multiplier might end up being.
It isn't a forgone conclusion that anyone is going to last at the 'ville for 10 years, notwithstanding UL's track record with coaches up to now. Times have changed. And that program is a mess.
And, frankly, we all have our perceptions. When it comes to UL, I see nothing but dirty. I see that in their football coach. And we certainly have witnessed that with their basketball program. WIN AT ALL COSTS and BLUE BLOOD programs don't go hand in hand with me, and I do understand that some of the other so-called blue bloods can be hot messes as well.X A V I E R

I wouldn't underestimate the Christi factor. His girls are what 6th grade? Brayden is still pre-school. Not a bad time to make the move if your wife really wants to be back in her hometown. Throw in 35 Million other reasons and a chance to bring a blue blood back to respectability ... He's gone guys. But i agree, X will be fine.
Xavier is THE University of Cincinnati
