The right man for the job is Dan Mullen at $6M/year for 5 years with a $24 Million buyout clause both ways. If he goes to another job then they would have to pay us damn near a years worth of NIL salary immediately. Have $500k escalator for Egg Bowl win, $500k for bowl appearance, $1 million for playoff appearance, $1 million for semifinal appearance, $1 million for championship appearance, $1 million for winning it all. Stacking obviously.

Keep Dan's eye on the prize and search for more money. Work with Target to build near Walk-On's and the Green Walmart.

If Dan doesn't agree to that - then he's not the right man for the job and would be looking at us as a stepping stone. If all he negotiates for is more money on the salary and is fine with the reverse massive buyout - then it should assuage everyone's biggest concern - that he'll be job shopping.
