$10-$12M a year is just the beginning. College football is sitting on billions, and you can’t “pay” the players. The only way to differentiate and spend is through coaches. College coaches may well end up making many multiples of what NFL guys make. Now is not a time to get gun shy. We need to be prepared to be paying in the $8-$10 range for a guy like Mario.

Brian Kelly is gonna be easily above $10M a year when it’s announced. He’s about to be the highest paid coach in the country.

If Miami wants to compete they're gonna have to start spending a whole lotta cash..... Fans better hope the "rumor" of a cash influx is true cause if it isn't or just not as much as people think Miami will fall further behind.....

The reason that number was thrown out is because that’s relative to the margin football is generating. We aren’t the only ones where that’s the economic reality. We’ve just been underspending for years.

Dwindling supply. The marketplace does not seem to be producing new head coaching prospects. ****, look at Manny. A failed ESPN errand boy is making $4+ million a year simply because he put "coach" on his resume one day.
 
This has been the most obvious trend to predict. Fortune favors the bold and we're seeing that play out. There are still equally bold moves to be made, moves that would've seemed unthinkable months ago.

Clemson's AD is an alum. I'm guessing Dabo likes him. Clemson's roster is depreciated. Miami has a couple good QBs.

just saying.

Start the bidding at $15 mill per, which is NOTHING when compared to what he'd generate in donations.

Fortune favors the BOLD

True. Good point.

There are plenty of young HCs, but the money in CFB is triggering program moves you didn’t see often, and salaries are increasing at all levels. Fickell makes $4M at Cincinnati. Why leave for a ‘bigger’ job, unless his dream job at Ohio State, or maybe Notre Dame opens? Apparently the latter is open now, so what are the odds Fickell is their new HC, especially if Cincinnati is left out of the CFP?
 
**** it. Offer John Harbaugh $12M and let's roll.

He would crush it at Miami like nobody has ever seen. Everyone loves the guy and he would out recruit everyone.

Amazing special teams, a great defense, and he makes chicken salad out of chicken **** on O .... imagine with TVD and our weapons.

The arms race in CFB is a big reason why we will never be the Old Miami again. Sam Jankovich said this a few years ago. We should be doing better than 7-5 every year though.
