is not about any particular candidate, but that money is no object for us. I havent pushed the issue because these have been comments through text messages, but more than one person that has some connections has told me this. Sounds as if Mr Seal has taken care of us. Amazing we have gone from talking about money issues to suddenly money is no object anymore...

I'm glad that the case but I don't want to overpay anybody - I don't think anyone on our list is better than the $2M Nutt and Kiffin are getting and some of the mentioned canidates are probably more in the $1-$1.3M range to double their salary.

...either. Remember, we are paying his buyout over time. That 10 mill will be here before you know it.

Who would be your Top 5 choices if money was absolutely no object and you could have any Top 5 coaches in the world?

I think it has more to do with the Byrne and Keenum on the same page as far as what a successful football program means to the university. It also helps when one of your biggest supporters includes you in his will.

Ive been hearing that money will not be an object as well. Being in the two to three million ballpark makes it a lot harder for me to understand everyone dispelling every good candidate that is thrown out there and makes me want to vomit every time someone acts like we should take our Bowden/ Dooley and like it.

Maybe my sarcasm meter is off, but Im not sure Gene is a good source to quote dispelling rumors in fact his disputing it probaly gives it 100 times more credibility

funny, I've heard 2 million is the minimum amount we'll pay...don't be surprised if we go up to 2.3 or 2.4 to make sure we make the right hire

I don't want to hear anything until after new years. No good coach going to a bowl is going to announce a departure till then anyway at least none of them on my list.

Urban Meyer,
Nick Saban,
Bob Stoops,
Pete Carroll,
and Houston Nutt (a very good coach who may not be as highly regarded as the others, but gets bonus points because the Ole Miss fans/messageboards would explode).

spent. Second, aren't you similar to us in that the school only pays a small portion of the salary, and the rest comes from the loyalty foundation or something similar? So I don't know if that ESPN money could actually go to the salary.

so if the ESPN $ goes to scholarships, then ticket $, etc. can go to Salaries, or all of the BD Club funds can go to coaches, and so on....

...the College Board will have to be stroked. Because they certainly won't have any of MSU allocating more coin than the Universataaahhh for a head ball coach.

plus I thought the school couldn't pay anyone more than the chancellor or some junk like that, and that's why the other groups pay most of it. I know you can shift some things around, but I'm not sure how you could get 3 million a year from the athletic department to the loyalty foundation. I don't think they pay enough in reciprocal stuff to sort of barter with.
