how would this particular coach feel if the AD had come to him and said..you're doing good, but we can do better, so we're going to interview others and see if we can improve....kind of like what the coach is saying-i think i can improve, too bad i signed for five years. i didn't really mean it, altho no doubt he'd want the college to live up to their end regarding his money should they let him go.

I understand what you are saying but the head coach in a college program is very important and the coaches realize that. Players are screwed under the NCAA system, thats a given but the coaches are employees so they have a right to look for better employement. The issues isnt with feelings, it is about getting the best job for the coach. If pete Carroll said to BC he wanyed the job do you think they would hesitate to fire the current coach? It goes both ways and unless there is some underlying deal like the AD thinks the coach is using the interview to extort more money out of them he is being pigheaded.
