Only program I would worry about if they came calling would be Notre Dame. Being from the Chicago area, he wanted to play for them badly but they never gave him a scholarship offer which is how he wound up at NU in the first place. NU is building a giant multimillion dollar training complex on the lakefront here which they basically did for him and the football team (and the donations that come with a successful program obvs). He signed a big contract extension a couple of years ago in which they were criticized for overpaying, but its looking like the smart move now. In short, he aint Gary Barnett who had his foot halfway out the door anytime another school came calling. NU is very lucky to have an ultimate homer as its head coach in this case.
