[QUOTE="IPBprez, post: 26052, member: 51"] If you guys (and gals) remember - during the "hiring process" - Jim Bates offered it to the Press, that he truly enjoys Wisconsin - as I did, while I lived up there... and it was a great weight against him taking Bill Belicheck's big offer to step into Romeo Crennel's shoes..... Also, JB has family in Wisconsin that he especially favored getting the opportunity to see more often. ...'sides, he likes the walleye -- ya hey! ? ! Tell me you don't! I really don't see Bates going anywhere - I think he'd prefer to settle in and make it permanent. I would even go so far as to say he'd take less as an HC, than what GB would be forced to offer other potential candidates. Just because he has no plans (currently) of going anywhere else - THE MONEY would have to be incredible for him to fly off somehow. And, the market is in a downward trend - for both Players & Coaches. The real issue then becomes - does he "prefer" staying the DC... is it where his heart lies? Remember, running interference is what an HC does, along with all the other duties... There are times when it is better to NOT wear the Big Dog's hat, ya know! You get perks, along with some regimented freedoms.... where the HC might not have the time.... Just a thought! [/QUOTE]
