Cut the crap. He ACCEPTED a job on a sinking ship and then stayed for a couple of weeks.
I don't care what the situation was, if you are wary of joining Golden, DON'T ACCEPT THE JOB. It's his god**** alma mater, it's not Southwest Missouri State or some such nonsense.
Do you honestly believe that Mario would never have gotten another offer in his life if he had stayed with Golden? **** no. This is not a D'Onofrio situation. People can see that a UM alum stuck it out in a bad situation with a horrible coach, and Mario would have gotten a ton of offers for himself.
It's not complicated. My own school is not like any other employer. I'm not going to accept an offer at UM, and then quit weeks later. That's just ridiculous, and don't BS me with that Saban nonsense. If that's the job he wanted, he should have waited a couple of weeks to decide.
Alma Mater or not, more than double the salary and opportunity with the top head coach in this business outweighs working for a MAC coach at your alma mater.
Kevin Beard just did the same thing, loyalty in this business is non existent when opportunity comes knocking. What is so hard to understand about this.
Can we please stop promoting this mythology?!?!? Cristobal didn't get $750K to go to Bama!
►Mario Cristobal to $525,000 from $515,000.
And that's from a 2016 article, so he was likely earning less when he took the job in 2013.
Alabama pumps up strength coach's salary to $525,000 a year
You guys have no clue how college coaching contracts are worded. 525k is base salary, there are other escalator type clauses that boost them up each year.
Trust me on this. I know how they work.
Just stop promoting that he got $750K.
Maybe he was only getting $250K at Miami? So your point about him "doubling" his Miami salary might be accurate.
But he didn't get $750K from Alabama.
He's "only" getting $700K from Oregon to be the co-oc.

Base salary you clown. I know plenty, brother has coached at USF, Michigan, WVU, through his career. I don't come on here and post bull****
