Not sure if the position that was offered but I can’t see him being a position coach. Maybe some administrative position. He did work with him when he was at UC so there may be some truth to it.

Go Guins.

He was the running backs coach at UC before he came here wasn’t he?

Wick250:
Phillips spent a considerable portion of his career in the field of education. Although everybody wants to be financially comfortable, educators have other priorities besides seeking maximum compensation.

Double ET:
Another way to look at it, he has built up a pretty good pension in the State of Ohio retirement system. I am not sure if the future years in Wisconsin system can transferred back to Ohio.
There are people who always want to be in charge, and money is only secondary. I have known people I worked with who wanted promotion without the additional $$$.

goodnews:
Regardless of what happened let's hope Phillips has signed a viable QB and RB out of the portal.  They need depth and experience at both positions. 

guinpen:
If it is true, nice to know that people want our coach so he must be doing something right.
