wow.

I think they are going to regret that in a few years. Unless they can get more Teddy Bridgewaters to come.

Not convinced that Strong is worth that kind of money.

 

[Adios]

Overpaid but I don't blame him for signing that contract. He gets paid more than Sumlin.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Worth every penny.

That number might have to be revised if Peyton Manning keeps giving away Papa John's pizzas.

And this is why Louisville is in the ACC and UConn isn't.

Not saying they wouldn't have kept him if we had been invited to the ACC and they were stuck in the Big East, but now that Louisville is afforded of having an extra ~$18M a year in TV revenue it sure makes these decision a lot easier.

It's an overall commitment to football in general. Their results on the field are similar. The head to head games are equal. Their fans and administration are just more invested and that is why Florida State wanted them.

The Strong contract is just further evidence of what everyone already thinks. As for the job he has done? He took over a disaster and fixed it almost instantly and dismantled Florida in a BCS bowl. The fact he stayed further shows their commitment - no one was in a better position to judge than he was.

Wonder what were gonna pay Weist in 14' to be our head coach? My guess is it will be a lot less then all the Aleve were gonna need next season.
