if the stadium sold out
a few more national games
top bowl money
sold more merchandise nationally

If everything was more or less at its peak revenue wise could we ever offer 3-4 million if these things happened?

2 million isnt enough for for some of these coordinators making 1.1 million holding out for that Tennessee, Michigan, Texas , Notre dame payday .

1. The stadium will not be sold out.
2. we won't get any more than we have now.
3. All ACC teams get an even split of bowl money.
4. How much can you sell?

I'll throw in $5. So, we can pay whatever plus an extra $5 the first year of the contract. I won't commit further than that.
 
No one in the administration has even a rudimentary understanding of economics. There is ZERO reason why we wouldn't offer a top 5 salary to an elite head coach.
 
UM can offer what anyone else offers. You guys got sucked in like fish by the excuse makers who fed you the excuse that we suck because we're poor. UM can raise a few million bucks in a couple hours.

Our fund-raised athletic budget is the same as UF's($100M)

The Goldenbots just need an excuse to keep their tasty little meat treat around

$3MM is a fair number. Report come out today that Golden is the 46th highest paid coach at $2.3MM. Muschamp was at $2.8MM as an
example.
 
Short of the Tejas's of the world we have enough money to get an elite coach. The just refuse to spend that kind of money.
 
The single dumbest aspect of our fanbase that seems to find a home in both the moper and slurper camps and everyone in between is the belief that we operate at current athletic budgetary levels because that's what we can afford. All future discussions should be framed with the words "choose to spend" instead of "what we can afford". Like do some of you even remotely comprehend how minuscule an effect of an increase of $5 mil per year on football coaching staff salaries would have on UM's yearly budget? It'd be akin to the difference on the check if Art Kehoe orders 3 baskets of garlic rolls at The Big Cheese instead of his standard two.
 
Whatever you all want to call it, I don't see UM spending the kind of money the top programs do on a coach. If they were inclined or even able to do it, they sure haven't shown it with the last few hires.

Then you get into the question of, lets say you can offer 3m. Who are you going to offer that to? Who does that really get you? You aren't going to lure a Nick Saban or Urban Meyer to Miami at 3M. You wouldn't even get Garry Patterson out of TCU for 3m. So then who? Mark Stoops? Is Mark Stoops worth 3M a year?

$3M would get you pretty much what we got. A coach happy to be in the top 50 of highest paid coaches. I think Alfred is like in the mid 40's of that list now. You can have Mark Stoops but that's a different discussion.

Raising the money and actually spending it on football coach are to different things.

$3 million would actually get you in the top 25 of all college coaches. It would put us up there with Ole Miss, Nebraska, Louisville, and right behind Clemson, UCLA, Georgia, Baylor. That's total pay too, including bonuses, not just base salary.

Try not to be dense. UM can pay whatever anyone else pays. There's no need to pay any more than they're paying for Folden. In fact, he's overpaid. Just because they're not going to absurdly overpay him doesn't mean we can't pay whatever anyone else is paying for a guy who deserves it.

The dimwits on here seem to think UM is holding the school together with duct tape and chicken wire.

Those figures aren't stagnant though. You have to factor in that the contracts you're citing weren't signed yesterday and the figures obviously constantly escalate. $2.5 mil per signed 2 seasons ago is $3 mil in a contract after this season.

Those were the numbers for what the coaches are actually making in 2014, not what their original contract was signed at. No reason we have to be stagnant as well.
