Yak, I totally agree, but he operates within the traditional means and methods of University AD's and CFB, and things are 100% different now. Prime is not just a coach, and his pure merits as a coach are still developing. Nope, he is a unicorn, and the AD just has the Head Coach, Assistant Coach, and Support Staff salaries to fool with, and maybe the Nike contract, etc, but they do not have a statewide, citywide, programwide creative viewpoint.
If Prime wants to coach after the boys are gone, and wants to stay in College, which I am pretty sure that is all he wants to do, then he must stay at Colorado, and we need to make it essentially his business, his brand, his legacy to stay here. Money alone won't do that, and when the City of Boulder and its businesses improve by 150% in sales because of the Prime Effect, that has to be paid off or given some thoughts about how it can be paid off throughout the organization. I would just blow his freaking doors off.
