Thee is nobody we can get that's worth 9 million. That's just wasting money for nothing just so we can say we spent 9 mil?? Dumb. There isn't a coach on our list that's a guarantee to win here. Not one.
I don't think Chadwell would be the odds on favorite and seemingly the first name mentioned on every single hot board list if he was out of our reach financially. And I mean, reasonable reach.
Leipold has a sub .500 coaching record overall. at Kansas he's gone 2-10, 6-7, 7-3. Nice job sure, but Kansas isn't the SECW either. Compare that to Jedd Fish at Arizona who went 1-11, 5-7, 7-3. They've got the same resume. Not sure what makes some so convinced Leipold is a $9M a year coach if the other isn't also
The biggest difference is that Leipold has done turn arounds a multiple stops moving up the ranks. Track record means a good bit. Not $9 MIL a year but that's the difference. I wouldn't be surprised if MI St doesn't offer close to that though. They have money to spend since Tucker's buyout and contract was voided.
Hearing it is Mullen from a very reliable source. Has been in the works for weeks. Take that for what it is worth.
