I don't like that formula. Arkansas State is a G5 anomaly when it comes to successful coaching changes.

Yes, they dont look at a new coaching hire as a way to go back to resetting the coaching salary to nothing like we just did. If we were willing to pay Fritz nearly 900K+/- then we should have had that as an option for the next coach but we went young and cheap and it is likely to cost more in the long run as we will likely have to buy him out instead of receiving a buy out like Troy and App will. We got exactly what we paid for.

Actually AState hired Anderson at $100,000 less than we hired Harsin and hired Harsin for $50,000 less than Malzahn.
From what I've been told if Chad Morris hadn't gone cold feet (twice in 24 hours), he would have made $100,000 more than Harsin.

Next guy at AState gets what we think it takes to hire that specific person rather than just declaring it is an X dollar per year job,

We went from offering a rumored 900K+/- to 500K on the hire...little different than 100 or 50K
