Boola has it right period-if you have an issue with that-try living the life of one of these guys. I know and have known many, the wild money is out of whack but you have to at least be reasonable in order to attract and maintain quality coaches at the D1 level. Coach Rolovich and staff have won 18 games in 3 seasons and his base is not at NC level. Now it would help if ticket sales improved-your turn-GoWarriors!!!!

to Cappie, we spoke mostly non-colloquial English back in the day. It was very hard to get rid of the pidgin slang. Tried very hard to speak colloquially. I turned out decent speaking colloquially though. If UH should crush Louisiana Tech recruiting will be better. “PEDAL TO THE METAL”.

And this is from a couple of years ago, see:https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/gallery/highest-paid-coaches-college-football-salaries-details-contracts-nick-saban-jim-harbaugh-102616

And here is the actual contract, http://www.manoanow.org/head-football-coach-nick-rolovich-contract-terms/pdf_baa9339c-97bb-11e5-9b23-67bb1aae90a2.html

As you can see, some of performance incentives are just plain throw-aways, e.g. national championships, New Years bowl game, playoff series…..So, I don’t give that much deference at all.

Before any team decides to fire their longtime coach with a track record of success, they should take a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.

Bill Cowher missed the post-season for three consecutive seasons.

He made the AFC Championship game in 2001. Finished first in the AFC North the next season.

Then he went four games under .500 in 2003.

Nobody panicked.

The owner stayed the course.

And was rewarded with a Super Bowl trophy in 2005.

Green Bay panicked.

David Byrne, lead singer of the Talking Heads, is a highly quotable lyricist. One of his famous phrases is “stop making sense”. It never made any sense to me that the 1.2 million salary was never offered to his predecessor as an incentive to stay.

Also.

Why did UH hire an AD that left his prior university athletic program in debt? 7.5 million in the red.

#95. Of course Rolo’s initial pay was for a first-time coach. But it was low, even for that. Even 114 is low for a program with a budget which is certainly not the 114th in the FBS.

And so even if your point is to justify the initial low pay. The AD needs to be the one to re-open pay negotiations, and they need to do it quickly. Which does NOT mean do it sloppily, it means do your homework now as to Rolo’s fair market pay and offer that pay BEFORE he starts getting other offers, not AFTER.
