garizzalies said:FYI, here's what Oday has to say on the subject re salaries (lifted from "ask the AD" article goGriz):
At the FCS level, UM is in the upper third of salaries accorded to its head football coach and the pool of assistants. It should also be noted that coaches contracts are not always calculated the same across the board - and in the case of UM, there is additional compensation for incentive bonuses, camps monies, television contracts, etc., that supplement the base salary. That is not the case at many other FCS schools.
I believe that is true, and I also believe we can and should do better. Who among us would be satisfied if we placed in the top third of FCS programs every season?
