I suspect that's taking that comment a bit literally. People and coaches say that sort of stuff all the time. The spirit -- "I really enjoy this job" -- is what to take from that statement. If the circumstances are right, people will simply rationalize themselves out of any cognitive dissonance. (For example, Mason could say to himself that going to Louisville prepares him to take that "one job," whatever it is.)

In reality, Charlie Strong's built up Louisville's talent base pretty well -- even despite Bridgewater leaving -- it pays well, and they're moving to a new (more powerful, but not stacked) conference. Looks pretty attractive to me! I bet he goes if the job's offered. And that's fine; we anticipated that anyway. I, for one, welcome our new defensive coordinating overlord Lance Anderson.*
