Surprising because it's incorrect. Consensus has Kelly between $4 million and $4.5 million, but nobody really knows for sure except ND and his agent. It's not public information.
It certainly has to be more than $1.6. I know a lot of people like to believe Kelly is the worst coach in CFB but that just isn't correct. He'd be insane to make $1.6 with all the pressure at ND instead of going to a school with less pressure and make 2-2.5 mil
Not to take anything away from Chris Petersen, but the ground had already been laid at Boise St before he got there. Boise State had been to 5 straight bowls before he got there and was ranked no worse than 16th between the time 2002 and 2004 (he became HC in 2006).
He turned down multiple jobs with huge pay increases in the years before he finally took the UW job.
My thoughts exactly!If you double someone's salary they'll learn to love that tea.
Generally I would agree with you, but when he was at Boise making $1 million a year he was turning down offers reportedly as high as $3 and $4 million per year. So the guy is clearly not motivated by money. Not to mention that Washington has the ability to match any reasonable offers.If you double someone's salary they'll learn to love that tea.
Yea I agree. For example I don't think any amount of money would pry Cutcliffe away from Duke. He's making good money, low stress, he's 62 and he's from the south. Sometimes environment is more important especially when you are making millions.
