I will help the university pay for it if you disagree with the bonus. Winking

Grand scheme of things, $1 mil in return for a national championship is a bargain. The value to the school that comes from a championship is in the 10s of millions. Licensing and souvenirs, in addition to what is likely a more in demand ticket, parking, etc., just scratches the surface. I believe coaches, in general, are overpaid, but when it comes down to it, it's a big money business and you want the best leading your business.

Agreed. I worked retail in the 90s. We sold huge amounts of merchandise during the title runs. Great for business and great for sales tax collections.

UCF figures their claim of a National Championship earned over 200m in all the areas the previous poster noted.

1m is a drop in the proverbial bucket.

You can't put a price on what just hiring Frost alone... has already done. GBR

Guys let me be clear km not saying its overpaying by any stretch.. i just look at it from my stand point and my bonus last year was 10k.. lol now im not bringing the state anational title.. i was just mentioning how nice it would be to get over a million dollar bonus for bringing the school i love a national title.. id do it for 1k it wasnt to knock anyone or any hidden agenda..the details of his contract came out and i didnt see a thread on it yet GBR

 

[TheBeav815]

that's a bargain to win a national title

Just think of all the money we saved by not having to pay any bonuses the last few years. #glasshalffull

Are coaches really overpaid? Yeah sure, the top 20 or so are making 4+ mill a year. But it's a 16 hour a day, `340 days a year job, for both assistants and head coaches. And the vast majority of those coaches are only making 6 figures. Compared to other jobs in that pay range, the stakes are much higher, the success or failure rate is much more visible and objective, and the stress is impossibly high. I mean the fact that they have to spend a good portion of their lives sucking the dick of 16 year old athletes just to maybe get them to commit to their school is worth their pay-scale.

Oh I understand what you’re saying and ultimately in a free market, what you and competition pays is what you’re worth.

I’m only suggesting that big picture, when coaches make millions, it puts a spotlight on the money side and also puts a target on these coaches to win at all costs. Historically, these men were there to develop young men and coach a game. Now fans demand so much because “this guy is making 3 million”.

Haven’t read all the details but it appears that Frost is set to make less than Ferentz

Ferentz base 4.6 million + 650k retention bonus every Jan 31st

500k bonus for 8 wins
More private jet hours 35 vs 20

Ferentz makes more in bonuses if he simply wins 8 games and shows up to the office on Jan 31 than Frost does if he wins a national title

I believe the motivation behind the Ferentz pay is "that's how much they have to pay me to get me to live in Iowa"!

Winning the BCS chanpionship should not be a bonus. Its the expectation. Win the natty or get fired. Point:blankeriods;
