Definitely not. I agree that that dynamic is totally possible.

Depends on the man but it is a lot to heap on his shoulders.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

Their Dynamic is actually really different as a family. Archie is very much still in charge of the family as a whole. Going to Ole Miss and then being around the program as I have as a donor you see it and it's just a little off putting.

Everything is strictly financial with them, Archie, Olivia, Eli, his wife, Cooper, his wife, and Arch himself all grew up diehard ole miss fans/legacy but Kiffin refused to break the bank for Arch thinking there was a lot left to be desired as a prospect(Saban refused to as well) and without hesitation they picked Texas simply because of the paycheck.

Maybe it's just the NIL landscape that takes the university pride out of CFB.

It has to be tremendous pressure, Joe.
