Mullen money!

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Too much for someone with zero P5 HC experience, imo.

7.4 for a Fuchsing Sun Belt Coach. Whatevs.

I don't really care what we pay him if he recruits and wins.

That’s a lot of money, but that’s a lot of years.

What’s wrong with a 4 year contract for a head coach with 0 years of major conference experience?

 

[GBHOR]

Buyout?

Inflation’s a b****, isn’t it?

Great point, by year 4 its mostly his guys, should know if he's "the guy" by then

Under market.

Under market.

For a P5 guy with a track record yes

Napier will make $7.1 million in his first season and will get a $100,000 raise annually before each of the remaining six years, the person said. Only Alabama's Nick Saban ($9.75 million), Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher ($9 million), new LSU coach Brian Kelly ($8.6 million) and Georgia's Kirby Smart ($7.13 million) are due to make more in the SEC next season.

Under market.

Yeah. It's under the crazy market. But the buyout clause is key. Let's face it. We're taking a chance. If things go South after three years. Ugh. If things go well, the way things are going he's worth it and more. Anything resembling decent football in the first two years would be a miracle.

I still think college football has gone nutty, to the extent that there will be a lot of programs holding the bag and muttering what the hell did we do.

USC and LSU went all in. We paid less than what we were paying the coach we fired. Says a lot about what we think the job is worth. That said, I’m all in on Nappy. He finally won something today. We’re about to find out if he can handle the big stage. At this point, it’s a mystery. Which is much better than the last guy who we knew couldn’t get it done.

I’m on the Napier train, but paying $7.3M per year for 7 years is overpaying for a coach who is unproven in P5 football.

7 Years!
