Thee, when USC came calling on Coach Teaff, do you think he got a pay raise or a bonus out of the deal? Anything at all?
What year was this? I never believed that GT would leave Baylor. He was not a good fit for USC anyway.
I know this much.....he was nearly fired after the 1978 season. The majority of the players thought he was gone. The 38-14 win over #9 Texas in the last game that year saved his job. We ended up 3-8 beating only A&M, UT and squeaked by TCU. We lost to Rice.
http://articles.latimes.com/1986-12-15/sports/sp-2777_1_coaching-vacancyBaylor football Coach Grant Teaff met with USC Athletic Director Mike McGee Thursday in Dallas to discuss the head coaching vacancy at USC, it was learned Sunday night.
Teaff wouldn't confirm or deny the meeting with McGee. Sources in Texas said that McGee was granted permission by the university to interview Teaff.
"My commitment and loyalty to Baylor runs very deep," Teaff told Dave Campbell, sports editor of the Waco, Tex., Tribune-Herald. "Our recruiting looks good and we're working very hard to get ready for a bowl game."
Baylor will play Colorado Dec. 31 in the Bluebonnet Bowl game at Houston.
"I will say that the USC job is one of the top five in college football in the country," Teaff said. "If I was forced to make any decision now, I'd stay with the Baylor program."
A source close to the Baylor athletic program said that McGee told Teaff the job carried with it a $250,000 base salary. He reportedly earns $80,000 a year as Baylor's coach.
So Thee, do you think he pulled in more than $80,000 in 1987? Do you think he used some slime-ball tactic like talking to USC to get more money?
