The first part of your statement is either naive or virtue signaling, or both. It’s not amoral to accrue money. If he knew he was going to leave and signed a new long-term deal with a significant buyout - he leaves for what he wants and LU gets paid. Everybody wins.
Selling Your Soul is LINE 1 of every SEC football coach’s job description. SAID TONGUE FIRMLY IN CHEEK.
I was a Division I college coach for 15 years. There’s no other profession like it. In no other job do thousands show up to watch you do your job, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM thinks they can do it better than you, despite all evidence to the contrary. And that goes for athletic Directors, too. AD’s used to be former coaches, so they understood it. When AD’s began being hired by boards and presidents for their fundraising, yet they still carried the responsibilities of hiring and firing coaches, all logic left the process.
So for those reasons - YES! You are hired to be fired. Nobody gets a coaching job for life. NOBODY! To ignore that is to ignore reality. And ignoring reality isn’t Christ-like.

It is a heck of a retirement plan if you don't care about morals, ethics, character, integrity and Christian values. If you want to sell your soul, it's great. You just proved my point about if freeze takes the job he's not the man he's been presenting himself to be. Taking a job expecting to get fired? Can you get less Christ like than that? I'll guess we will find out
