    4) Who wants to be that close to in laws?
    Let’s not gloss over #4, the things money can’t buy or fix.

    Hopefully it's FDIC insured!

    I dont know what you do or what you make but if your competitor offers you 2 or 3 times your salary you are gone hands down. If you own a business and you're offered a significant buy out you are gone. Why would you think Mack is different

    No one can honestly argue that. I would be shocked if UL offers 2x what X offers. Let’s say X offers 3, that means UL would need to offer 6. Which would make Mack the 5th highest paid coach in all of CBB. I’d be shocked if they went this high, especially with “so many UL fans not being sold on Mack” as has been discussed by other UL fans on this board.

    The point of discussion is when the spread is much tighter. Let’s say the offers are X @ $3M and UL @ 4M, but higher incentives at UL. This is the range I think the offers lie and why it hasn’t been settled one way or another yet.

    Not necessarily....I’ve actually changed jobs and taken a significant pay cut. I was more interested in being a part of families life and in reducing my commuting time and working time by several hours a week, than I was in making tons of money. Best decision I ever made. It was a decision I made when I was in my 40’s. I might not have made the same decision when I was in my 30’s. Money can’t buy you happiness. It’s not like Mack isn’t going to make more money than he probably ever imagined if he stays a X. He is a rich man either way.

    Exactly my point. If the offers are “close” it comes down to how much does he value his life here in NKY. And none of us know that or could blame him for leaving if the offers aren’t close.
