New Coach's Annual Salary

[Captain Kangaroo]

Your guess?

I just don't see them splurging. I went with the low-end range.

I hesitantly agree with you. I'm also leaning towards them spending some dough simply because of how much they already have invested and how important it is to get things right this time around.

I don't see it being over $500 thousand unless they got a big time coordinator or coaching rehash. Like a Narduzzi, or Zook/Mason.

For someone like Loeffler I see 375-425.

Can I change my vote?

[Kangaroo Craig]

I went with $551-$650K. I'm guessing he will make a salary similar to what Ohio is paying Frank Solich. I believe I had heard that Solich is in this range. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

[Zipmeister]

Because Urban's base is $400k, I say $400,001.

I'm thinking they are getting him some great assistants. So I am going on the higher end.

Frankly, a coach's salary is nothing that concerns me in any way. As long as he's happy with his negotiated contract, I'm happy, too. Fans should just concentrate on the product on the field and the hoopla surrounding exciting college football.

Why give a second thought to some paperwork that's ironed out in human resources that we're not responsible for or paying for? Ditto for pro athletes....why should fans give a crap what a player earns? People spend more time talking about finances than the sport itself. It's sad and crazy.

Party pooper.

Reading up on Bowden, it was funny to see his last season @ Auburn his salary was .... $155,000.

I hope they give him a weekly TV show on STO or FSN Ohio. Our program needs a TV show. TW needs to get Coach Dambrot a weekly show on one of those networks.

I nominate this for most depressing comment of the year

A lot of time, the public info on coaches salaries isn't correct, because they get paid with non university dollars. Base pay is the only thing that needs to be listed publically.

For instance Jim Tressel's base pay is only $600,000 on public record, but we all know he made well more than that.
