Not sure I understand this comment. One would think that if Oregon paid 1.7 to keep him they had to believe he was a hot commodity. Or maybe they went to the Peter McGowan school of negotiations and paid him twice what anyone else was willing to offer.

How many programs are going to come offer $2+ million to steal away a defensive coordinator? 
My bet is Leavitt didn't have another offer worth looking at.
