USA Today Article: FBS Football Coaches' Bonus Payouts

[FatHank]

Cheers Boneyard,

I was reading a news app on my phone and saw an article about FBS football coaches and the bonuses they have earned so far this season, as of 10/12/2019. I saw Edsall had achieved some and thought I would post the article link as well as an image of Edsall's payouts stated in the article for you to peruse.

There are actually some nice accomplishments in the overall list. I am curious what stats Edsall hit outside of "win any game for 26k" to take home some extra cash. Anyone know or have thoughts?

I feel the University is being generous to Randy, in general here, with the results he's delivered so far.

Every bonus earned by NCAA football coaches in Football Bowl Subdivision so far this season

IF RE was paid half of what his compadres were paid, I would have an issue. But he isn't and offered to take money out of his pocket to pay for an assistant. While he deserves criticism in some areas, this ain't one of them.
