Hmmm. Obviously he agreed to it, but that seems too low to me. I know some stupid money has been thrown around, but I'd sure like to see him in the top 5 with what he's done at a program that was at the very bottom of the B10. (Big 16!)
I mean it’s 6 million a year+incentives plus $500k retention bonus per year. The average salary in the conference is around 7.5 mil. With Rhule, Day, Tucker, Harbaugh all marking over that. Franklin possibly as well.
Pretty sure all the coaches like the salary thing, but you could be right.
Would have to think maybe BB is leaving money on the table to retain assistants. If I remember that was a big reason for him leaving Wisconsin and I think RW was one of the highest paid assistant last year.
How about the trifecta…(if you will)?
Do those one year extensions triggered by meeting specific goals include a bump in salary, or another year at the same?
It’s much easier to increase his salary in the future than take it down, like you reference where MSU finds themselves. He’s had one great season and got rewarded, and it doesn’t have to be the last one if that success continues.
Just a wild guess Bbuck...........President of the Illinois Pork Producers?
Thank you for stating this. So so so accurate. Not so terribly long ago, Illinois football was superior to both.
Every once in awhile!
