If Coles signed on to be with Spurrier only, than he should have asked out of his contract right away and forgo any signing bonuses due to him. This isn't college football, where some poor kid got screwed because the coach that recruited him left, this is the NFL. You are paid quite a bit to play a game and coaches come and go. He should not have expected Spurrier to be with him for the full duration of his contract.

He probably should have waited, because once Gibbs gets his line the way he wants it and can run the ball effectively, Gibbs will throw the ball and throw it deep a lot.
