Looks like he was making $5M/year at Cincy. I wonder if he looked at the lay of the land in the Big 12, with no heavyweights but no easy wins any more, and figured that it was a good time to take the big payday now rather than see his star potentially fade a la Matt Campbell over the past couple years.
I doubt we will ever know, but it would be interesting to see if Nebraska and Wisconsin both talked to Fickell and Ruhle. I would think Fickell would be higher on the pecking order and that Nebraska is considered the better job, but maybe Wisconsin has surpassed them?
