I'm sure others know better then me to include you but ... Just because he signed a new deal really doesn't mean jack. It's rumored the college made the deal to shut up all the questions of him leaving for the Skins. No matter what most coaches have clauses written into their contracts that allow for them to leave for the pros with out penalty. So I'd imagine "IF" the Skins want him the offer would have to match or beat what the college gave him just to get him on board.

I would imagine and it has been said in the media

[quoteAbsent a chance to scrutinize the new Briles contract, it may not matter. College coaches continue to leave for other colleges and NFL teams despite having long-term contracts in place. For now, the announcement of a new deal may be nothing more than a way to deal with questions Briles is getting from recruits about whether he’ll be leaving.][/quote]
