This is what we’re up against.

$500k to the assistant/staff pool? I mean that's nice and all, but that's not really that much

Heck, that's 1/4 of a Defensive Coordinators salary at Clemson

Good for him.

Maybe he can use that money to have his dental work redone. His teeth look like a mass of white LEGO blocks.

WTF. This is amateur football. I thought everyone worked for free.

This surprises you? There is a reason teams like his are lucky to win one out of 20 against teams like Penn State.

I liked him better when he was the lead in Home Improvement or The Santa Claus movies, but to each his own I guess.

Dude, maybe they'll win the next five. Phrases such as "teams like his" and "teams like Penn State" make my skin crawl. We're not inherently better than anyone else. Hard work pays dividends and IU is putting in the work.

Guy is a little goofy and quirky but I think he is a good coach. Indiana is a tough job in football and they compete hard for him.

Used. Tractor. Salesman.

I thought Schiano is getting $4mil per year?
Whatever he is getting, there is OUTRAGE here in NJ over his contract. Many upset people, who don't give a rat's ass about Rutgres (well, who really does?) but are very upset over the cost of this.

$4 million for the rutgres coach. This is what we’re up against.

Allen's deal is close monetarily and he has a better guarantee. Further, for every year he goes .500 or better, they add that year back to the duration.

 

[LaJolla Lion]

Anyone getting 4 million from RU is stealing and should be locked up.

Really? I haven't heard any people being upset by it. Perhaps a bit confused how a University can pay $4MM to a coach, but then again, these are people who are not aware of how boosters are typically involved with these things. But, not upset.
