So there are a lot of articles about coaching hires and potential salaries being thrown around right now, and the numbers are pretty staggering to me. Someone like Tom Herman can command $3 million/year, which is pretty much equal to PJ, but with the fraction of the resume. I can't help but wonder how GT competes in the arms race when it comes time for our next hire. I know we aren't bad off, but I'm guessing we are probably middle of the pack amongst the Power 5 in what we can pay.
So... what if PJ decided to retire on Sunday, and dedicate the rest of his life to deep sea fishing. What could we conceivably pay an up and coming coach in this market to lure him here? I know Demjackets used to have all this info back in the day, but anyone here have any idea about the purse strings at the AA? Also, does Bobinski have any connections to any coaches of interest like the Missouri AD does with Herman, or (on a much larger scale) LSU does with Jimbo? Perhaps most interestingly, would we hire a coach who would continue this offense at GT?
Also, a very Happy Thanksgiving to all Stingtalkers. Hope y'all are having a great day whether it's with the family or with buddies and a favorite bottle. Cheers to you all.
