"The contract states that Fuente will have a budget of up to $3.4 million to spend on his nine full-time assistant coaches. Anything above that would have to be run by athletic director Whit Babcock. The Hokies paid their assistants about $3.21 million in 2015."

Worth an extra $100k due to the tax rate differential, along with any tax benefit derived from charitable contributions and mortgage interest that would be not deductible in New Jersey.

Looking at that contract, despite the "money is no object" comment which I did appreciate from Dr. Barchi, has to lead one to believe Richt, Mullen, Herman and quite possibly Schiano are a bit out of our budget.
