The guy has been coaching in college for longer than I've been alive. I'm not sure exactly when he turned into a DB guru, but it seems like that's also been a while. Things change, obviously, but he's in his late 50's and has been a college DB coach or DC for like 30 years, it's probably just what he wants to do.
I'm going to guess with Akina that, given his resume, at some point some NFL team could float him an offer. That might be as big a threat as another college program (unless he has made it clear at some point that he sees himself as simply a college coach, but I've never heard that).

Good point. And the same logic applies to anxiety about Akina becoming a DC in the college game. If it hasn't happened so far, with his track record, is it really likely to happen at this point.
Could be that Akina is one of those rare people who has really found his calling, and won't be swayed by a somewhat larger paycheck and status to drift from it. If that's the case, its good news for us.
