We are notoriously cheap when it comes to paying our coaches. Chip Kelly made 2.4M when he was taking us to the natty with the best offense in the country year after year.
This is misleading, it’s all incentive based. I think I read he is on pace for like a $7M year when it’s all said and done.
I thought they vowed to never get a coach poached again after willie. Even though that deal was awesome for them
i hope it’s Napier so all of the TCU dumbasses will be pissed because they’re pretty much waiting on an answer from him at this point
Jay Hill of Weber State, played at Utah and the coaches there for a decade before taking the Weber State job.
I mean I get singling out a school that could fuck this up, but in five years when we look back on this hiring cycle, 70-80% of the hires will be failures, because that’s every cycle.
Saw Eddie George was in play at Akron. Would hope he could wait for something else if he wants to leave TSU
All of these fans of lesser programs shitting on the OU job is bizarre. I hate everything about Oklahoma and anything associated with Oklahoma but thinking otherwise means you’re cooked.
John L was only at Weber for a spring before taking over your team. After Arky he went to Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO and then Kentucky State. Both are D II schools.
What? The highest paid coordinators are at like 2.5 million and there’s only a couple over $2 million
In the last 2 years, there have been 5 different schools that have paid coordinators $2 million or more (one paying both coordinators at least $2 million). 4 over $2.3. That's pretty damn close to $2.7 for a conference winning P5 head coach.
At least according to this, for 2020 Kevin Steele and Bo Pelini and Sark https://footballscoop.com/news/trac...inators-in-college-football-heading-into-2021
Every year, this thread has a few comments that [insert coach name] has fallen backwards into a better job. Has any coach made more money in the last 15 years off of mediocrity than Bo Pelini? Maybe Bielema or Chip Kelly?
There was a dead money article on ESPN the other day, half a billion being paid out to coaches to not coach
I was referencing the bar for coordinator salaries, not what was active this year. But yeah, if you look at the top salaries over that period, you'll see him, grantham, and tony elliott
