But would he come? He'd be my first choice, but he's from that area and I doubt BoBo would spend to get what it takes.
They’ll spend MORE than triple his salary on OC. They are working with $5.5 - $6 million just for the assistants.
We have 6 mill allocated for the asst coaching budget! 600-750k...could do it! But dont know why he would go from head coach to asst coach! Who ever the asst coach there now is maybe the guy you look at if he is the play caller!
Maybe he comes for the money and next in line for the HC job. I don't understand this hire at all.
Should have money to pay good salaries for assistant coaches, since Brohm was making more than that. Pluse we got a $1 million buyout with Brohm leaving right?
Tell me he isn't spending that much on an unproven. He could have probably got him for half that.
Proven guys go for $8-12 million. Keep up. Heard of inflation ?
Tell me the last assistant you know of, other than Ryan Day who did anything his first, second, or third year? And Day had coached in the pro's.
Still. 8-5 year 1 and 13-2 in year 2. First time HC. And like another poster said, pretty sure several coordinators become successful HCs every single years.
Barry Switzer. Or Tom Osborne. Others already noted Ryan Day and Kirby Smart. Day and Smart were never a HC prior to their current position. Barry Alvarez started poorly, was 3-4 down yrs and then Wisky started to roll.
Hell Nick Saban I believe was 9-2 in year one as a head coach, then had 2-3 years with 6 or 7 wins and then took off like a rocket.
