Thats player development.


Brady is about to make $1.5 million because they're renegotiating his contract to keep him at LSU. Has been in the works for weeks.

I'm not sure who you hire. But I simply can't comprehend the likely $5-8 million salary. There's not a guy that'll do it for $2 million? There are plenty that would, and without a $25 million buyout, I would imagine. No other industry has such insane buyouts, that I'm aware of.


They pay what the market bears and what the school agrees to. A $2 million salary for a head coach in the SEC West is peanuts. If the guy was successful, he either would renegotiate to make more or he would leave for another university that would pay more.

Crazy money? Sure. But it is what it is.
