Like I said above, there is no acceptable salary for 1-10.
If you pay a P5 salary for 1-10, you have overpaid.
If you pay less than a legitimate P5 salary, then you went cheap and got what you paid for.
One more time...there is no acceptable salary for 1-10.
How much of the salary is simply over payment to just get someone here that has any track record of success anywhere, especially if they are young? What good coach would have wanted, really wanted (not the Chad Morris, Babers, Gundy etc. garbage spouted on these boards that were either pipe dreams of posters or plays for higher salary at their own institutions) to come here with the risk that even more fallout would occur after they signed on, making the task truly career threatening?
I don't think the pay was for any particular season, but for rebuilding a program that was destroyed by the administration letting garbage go on they could have stopped in its tracks long before the football program became the media's whipping boy. And then exacerbated by the highly paid assistants we had last year that obviously didn't give a **** for their players and fans. How deep did the mental mindset of this program fall into the ditch? The Rhule "experiment" outcome should reveal itself in this year's recruiting and what the team does next season. That should be far enough removed from the pits of the last two years to provide a better insight on the true direction without the baggage or excuses of the past.
