Captain Kangaroo Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 If this is true then I was right in my assumption, JD should be making between $200 - $235. Especially if Frank Solich is making 220K, and he didn't win the conference, nor go to a bowl.Yet. At this time, he's taken a 1-10 team and put them in the MAC East driver's seat. OU's winning percentage is starting to rival Solich's BAC percentage after a kickin' New Year's bash, so you have to give the guy his props.BTW - Based upon Solich's resume', it would seem like he'd merit substantially more money than JD. If JD were 60 years old, coming off some 9-win seasons at Nebraska, I would think his salary would be a bit higher.$180,000 per year + incentives (important) isn't too shabby. You can lead a pretty good life in NE Ohio with that kind of cash, so I don't expect he'll need to be shaking any empty soda cups outside the Rubber Bowl, post-game, looking for spare change.If, through the next 3-4 years the program continues to progress, I'm sure he'll make another decent salary jump at UA...or a huge one to somewhere else. Either way I'd be satisfied. If he tanks it...hey, we've eaten "extended" contracts before - Faust...Owens...Hipsher...I hope this one works out better. I think Huggins is the last coach we've had that's left for greener pastures in ANY sport. That was almost 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckzip Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 i agree but tressel isn't even in the top ten in highest paid coaches! What does a lower big ten team pay? That is because he takes less pay to divide it up with his assistants.His assistants make quite a bit of money.Also, with his radio show and different commercials he does, he is doing quite well.

Either way I'd be satisfied. Continue is still up for grabs -- thus far he isn't guaranteed continued progress this year. I think you could make the case for this team regressing and the loss to Can't was inexcusable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
