Yes, SportsJUnkie, Gp said it well. Maybe Cahill goes on to coach somewhere else, I wouldn't say he won't. But there is such a thing as quality of life and the tenure can be longer. And there is more to a happy existence than working for teams with a big transfer portal, different players from year to year, constant concerns about NIL money and affording players, and worries about moving your family yet again after, say, one or two years of losing.
There is also building something substantial and the pleasure of mentoring men from first year to fourth, being part of a community, and leading a program that is meaningful to players, to alumni, to the school.
OK, you won't be big rich but maybe you help young guys have a great experience, try to WIN, learn the lessons football teaches, and build the kind of family that Ivy football programs are. And as seen this year the football ain't bad and there are playoffs.
There's a reason Cahill is taking this. He did not leave his winning program at Lehigh for nothing. He's no dummy. He must have had other offers after his year. And there must be an emotional reason too. He was close to Reno. All in all,good life decision on his part.
I doubt Al or Cozza or Murphy or Teevens regretted the Ivy League. Maybe that's a model he aspires to as well unless or until something bigger comes along -IF he wants it. And if it doesn't come along: he's still got a lot.
