He is a very proud man and didn't like the fact that he was told he would have to interview for the job just like everyone else. He knew that he would have a difficult time living up to Florida's expectations since he had already taken them to the top, so he went to a team where he could try and do the same thing that he had done for Florida.

i know spurrier and saban were on 'bama's wish list, but both seemed to shoot down any thoughts about going there, or anywhere, pretty quickly.
