But there's also another question: what does EB want?
One thing about college coaching jobs is that they are far more stable than NFL coaching jobs. EB could take that CU job, which probably would pay more than what he's getting now, and know that he wouldn't have to worry about getting fired for a dozen years.
The NFL doesn't offer that kind of stability. In today's NFL, he could take a HC job next season, and be fired a season or two later.

But if he fails as the head coach at Colorado (it's possible... that program kind of sucks) then it's gonna be a lot harder to get back to the status he currently has in the NFL. More than likely the opening he would find on an NFL coaching staff would be back as a RB coach.
I think he wants to reach the top. He wants to be a head coach in the NFL. The Bill Walsh quote that Lombardi shat out is misapplied here. It's not like Bieniemy is turning down NFL teams who offer him the job. He's turning down moving backwards to the peewee leagues instead of looking for PROMOTIONS.
