Hopefully paying Grantham north of $1M will keep him in place even if we win big. I our coaching staff will always be looking for bigger opportunities but now that we are paying with the big boys we might be able to retain the top dogs long enough to gain traction in recruiting.
The SEC-network revenue is what should allow us to pay for staff experience and continuity -- the days of NOT being able to pay for top coaches should be a thing of the past now that we're several years into the network and realize we've got extra $ to spend. Hopefully we get out of that rut where our assistant coaches view us as Stepping-Stone U.
