I wish someone would start a rumor to get my employer to increase my salary 12 fold
BTW I think his base increased BY $400K to $5.1M, not FROM $400K to $5.1M. I.e. it was $4.7M prior.

At least that's the way I read it.

Assistant DC at UGA is probably being considered.

That makes more sense.

Particularly because I'm guessing no coordinators in the Big Ten are making just $400k a year anymore, let alone head coaches

He wouldn't have had much of a boat for $400K/year (so to speak).

I mean if you have a boat that cost more than that that you have to row, it better be Ben Hur chained to an oar style

I interviewed for a job with another company a few years ago. I’m fairly certain that my superiors found out about it because I was called into the office one day and given a raise out of the blue. A good raise. I still would have left, but I didn’t get the job. It wasn’t too long before I took another position with my company so I guess it all worked out.

I interviewed for a job a decade ago, but they were going to put me in house with a client, who they did not identify in the interview.  After they gave me the green light, the client I was going to go in house with wanted to have a sit down.  I worked in an office park about 15 miles outside of Pittsburgh, and the law firm I interviewed with was downtown.  They sent me the address of the client I was having the sit down with...they were in the adjacent suite to my current job.  I was 26, and trying to start a family, and I've never been more terrified.

https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/32355679/dead-money






Chasing glory and championships is expensive in college sports. Just ask the biggest spenders in the FBS, who have combined to dole out more than $205 million in dead money since 2010. If your last mistake is indeed your best teacher, then these schools have failed time and time again.

Auburn
$31.2M
Talk about being all-in. More than $18 million (and counting) has been paid to Gene Chizik and Gus Malzahn.
Nebraska
$25.8M
Bo Pelini and Mike Riley were fired within a year of extensions. The cost for those mistakes: about $12.8 million.
Texas
$21.5M
Everything is bigger in Texas, including buyouts. The total doesn't even include $24 million owed to Tom Herman and staff.
Ole Miss
$20.4M
The Rebels spent $8.7 million to move on from football coaches Houston Nutt and Matt Luke; letting Hugh Freeze go didn't cost a penny.
Kansas
$20M
The Jayhawks keep trying and paying. Firing Turner Gill, Charlie Weis and David Beaty cost over $14.4 million.
Arizona State
$18.7M
The Sun Devils forked over more than $11 million to football coach Todd Graham and more than $2.5 million to basketball coach Herb Sendek.
South Carolina
$18.6M
The Gamecocks more than doubled Florida's contribution to Will Muschamp's retirement fund with a $12.9 million buyout.
Oregon
$16.5M
Thank goodness for Nike. Showing Mike Bellotti and Mark Helfrich the door cost the Ducks more than $12 million.
Texas A&M
$16.4M
The Aggies paid just over $9 million to football coaches Kevin Sumlin, Mike Sherman and Dennis Franchione, plus $2.9 million to men's hoops coach Billy Kennedy.
UCLA
$15.5M
Football coach Jim Mora and men's basketball coaches Ben Howland and Steve Alford collected $15.5 million, yet not a single dollar went to assistants.

Gators made changes, not at the top, but they fired Grantham, and he agreed to depart.  Something is amiss in that program beyond a few coaches.

Interesting. Texas Tech hires Baylor assistant Joey McGuire as head coach, where he will start immediately, though not actually be head coach until next year.

Some writer I like said he thinks this is a pretty good hire, and he’s pretty plugged in. So that’s something

Apparently the guy is a Texas high school coaching legend, for what that is worth
