Would it really be all that different than when FBS coaches get hired to a new job after the regular season, but remain to coach their old team for the bowl game. (I know that doesn't always happen, but I thought I remembered hearing it happen at least occasionally in the past. Or an FCS coach that got hired to a FBS job, but stuck with the FCS team for their playoff game(s))
I don't think so but that's too awkward of a situation and would cause some major issues in the locker room IMO. Watching Bubba's presser there's no chance of it happening either. He was not happy.
