Michigan's mistake was letting Lloyd participate during bowl season.

In regards to the question of isn't Michigan good enough to not entertain other job offers? The answer is obviously no. Michigan is in a very cold and windy part of the country. A part of the country that is cold and windy during exactly the part of the year you would need to be there if you were head coach of the Michigan football team. So offers by other schools of a similar caliber but with better weather clearly should be entertained.

For example, if you were the coach of Michigan there would be no reason to take an offer from say Ohio State. But if LSU offered you a job, that might be worth looking into. Austin is also not bad, Neither is Los Angeles, Northern California, or Florida (but only in winter, you'd need to live somewhere else during the summer if you went to any of the Florida schools). So yes, if I was a high end head coach of college football and I was Michigan's coach, I would at least entertain offers from schools with better weather. Same goes for ND, where the weather is simply god awful.
