You don't get it, plain and simple.
Manny is in the bottom quarter of pay in the ACC.
Lashlee, no clue what we're paying him, but he wasn't making crap at SMU in the grand scheme of things.
The rest of the offensive staff, again aren't making big paydays compared to their peers.
The entire defensive staff makes average at best compensation for their position.
You said blank checks to counter something. It was a dumbass comment made without any substance. We aren't anywhere close to paying top dollar anywhere. The only exception to that was Enos. The money was there since we had something we hadn't had since Butch, freedom from paying a head coaches buyout.
We also don't bring in as much revenue as half of our conference opponents, let alone the entire country. We aren't a big school with a large donor base and our merchandise sales are middling at best.
Blank checks, that would mean we're opening coffers that don't exist and spending top dollar. We are nowhere near that. We're forced to find up and comers still. I feel he's done that, but let's not get it twisted. I like what they're doing and the direction we seem to be heading on paper.
Your statement was stupid and factually incorrect.
