...and Napier could max out at 1.5 mil/yr if he hits all incentives.

think he spent a year at ULM, but otherwise no

Cajuns better hope he wins because if he doesn’t this going to be bad.

Probably a bit of an overpay for an OC of a team that won what...6 games last year? But its only an overpay if the Cajuns don't win as a result.

1.1 million for a OC at Arizona State is a little excessive

The 2 million on assistants is money well spent

Got some wet blankets in here.

Last guess on salary I saw was about $900K per year with the incentives up to $1.5M. I think the $1.1M was in reference to Pry.

Eh. I just don't understand the need for anyone in the Sun Belt to pay a coach over a Million dollars a year, and I say that knowing that AState would gladly do so for the right coach.

To me, we are competing with 65 teams for one spot, with zero chance of rising above that spot. There's a cap at what one can achieve at this level, and there's in turn a cap at one coach can achieve before he gets picked up by other schools

Then there is the whole angle of, if the team doesn't win, you're out a lot of money trying to fire.

For those who don't know , the recipient of the go ahead pass for Furman was no other than Bear Rinehart, lead singer of the Christian Rock Band "Need To Breathe".

Unforgettable

Hopefully he stays for more than a passing glance. He seems to jump around a fair amount
