and we're talking about fit in terms of personality? I don't think that's a big concern, as much as whether or not a guy "fits" in terms of understanding the challenges our program faces and how to address them while working in this area.
I don't know where contract numbers have come from. It's my understanding that we'd be willing to pay what it takes to get the best available, but if we end up with a Freeze or Hudspeth, given their experience, I expect we would hire them in at a similar range to where you hired in Mullen, 4 years and $5M or $6M or something like that, with the chance for that to increase significantly, as it has for Mullen, assuming success comes.
If we were able to pull some sort of coup and get some big time heavily coveted national name, then I'm sure the bigger numbers would come out, but I doubt we're going to be throwing around $3M a year for coaches that don't have the resume to command it yet.
