Todd Golden received a six-year contract at $3M/ year. I don't see a report on the buyout. At that rate, my guess is he would have never been a possibility for NU, even if the job was available.
Mike White signed with Georgia for six years, $19.8M. He had a buyout after the fourth year because someone down there is not Jim Phillips and understands the idea of hedging their bets. The buyout is $3.2M after the fourth year.
Archie Miller is getting $8.5M for five years from Rhode Island.
At Louisville, Kenny Payne is getting $3.35M/yr + a slew of bonuses.
I hate to think the market could be more limited than it already is for NU. But if Collins is gone next year and his salary is any budget consideration for the next guy, it's going to be ugly.
