Gotta agree with Dan S. Maybe there are lots of reasons.........

more money?

more freedom or control of that coaching position?

don't have to watch Pete pace the sideline like a crack addict waiting for a deal to go down?

maybe he wants Snake Pliskin to show him how to fish a Dick Nite properly without snagging like most of the crackers do on the Snohomish?

maybe he likes a good micro-brew?

Who cares, lets just win a friggin game!
