Am I right in thinking we picked a good year to hire a coach?

It seems like there are very few coaches that are off-limits because they're waiting on School X to pull the trigger. Washington is the most attractive program right now, and ND & Auburn are...I don't know what they're doing.... With over 2 million dollars to offer and a weak field to compete against, it seems like our wish list isn't as unrealistic as it normally would be.

...for all those reasons, and for the reason that we can actually afford to pay somebody 2 - 2.5 million which puts us in the upper echelon of salaries. It won't be long before athletic departments start adjusting their budgets for the ESPN money and everything will keep going up, but right now, what we can pay doesn't make us look like the poor guy on the street.
