McGriff's Deal

[Really Clark?]

3 years at $1, $1.1, and $1.2 MIL per year.

Longo 2 year deal will make $600,000 and $700,000 per year.

Yeah but 3 years avg of $1.1 MIL per for a guy who hasn't been a DC for what? 20 years and never at D1 level is a lot. I think they over spent just to get him means a good bit where they are in the coaching world right now.

Oh it's crazy high, but I like they're willing to pay assistants. Of course, they probably have no leverage right now

The question is why would we. Why would we give a guy that hasn't been a DC in 20yrs & never in D1 a 7 figure deal? Why would we give a guy who's never been an OC in D1 a high 6 figure deal? I can tell you because that's the only way these 2 marginally qualified at best guys would take a job at this sinking ship. I bet you their contracts are guaranteed. When your options are Wesley McGriff or myself then you're going to have to overpay. McGriff made $500k at Auburn they doubled his salary when they were bidding against themselves because they had no choice.

Yeah, that dawned on me...

When we do prove to have the right guys though, we need to step up their pay... Brian Johnson is probably a good candidate for a raise and named OC imo

WHOA! STOP RIGHT THERE! Are you trying to tell me they tried to take OUR HC and make him their DC (which, sorry Dan, aint your strong suite) AND ask him take a pay cut?!! That's a NEW level of arrogance, even for them!

[Political Hack]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha. They had to pay that guy a million to coach at Ole Miss!?!?!?!

Holy crap, this is hilarious. They had to break the bank for a guy that's NEVER called a defense.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Could that be part of the deal?

[Really Clark?]

Is guess he is worth it if he can do this:

New #OleMiss DC Wesley McGriff: "We’re going to run the defense that stops every offense that’s playing football in America.”

Yeah this guy seems like a brilliant DC in the making. Lol. I know that may be a sound bite and not what he really meant but WOW.

[BeastMan]

For perspective, they just paid a 26 year position coach a top 15 assistant salary in the nation. Absolutely insane but I'm sure he named his price. Desperation

[JoseBrown]

Could that be part of the deal?

That was my first thought seeing the disparity in levels of income between the two. And knowing they gonna need a new head coach soon. Hahaha. Maybe they plan on him being the placeholder till they can find one like you said. Secret deal for interim, just don't tell Bucky....***

[Bothrops]

They had to pay them to get them. A lot to pay for not having a chance to go bowling. What a bunch of dipshits.

[Coldsleeve Jr.]

Just looked up Longo's salary at Sam Houston St.............................................. $105k

Everyone should read this twice. It's absolutely insane. They just laid a lifelong position coach a MILLION to run their defense. He's top 15 nationally and never called a game. Unreal how quickly they've fallen. However, I suspect he can get half a million in he next 6 months before it hits the fan and he's either looking for new employment or running the entire team.

[CadaverDawg]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

1 million plus for McGriff??!!! Hahahahahahaha
