Skip is at 104

Skip would jump at the first offer from any of the P5 teams (based on salary wise). I know I would.
We have been getting a great deal from Skip.
Rice is paying 900k for a 1-6 coach.
NT and UTSA are paying 800k for coaches to have 6-6 records.

Don't think so - He has been burned once already

I think in a few weeks the news will be released that his contract has been reworked and he will be awarded a contract in the neighborhood of $800k to $900k annually plus realistic bonuses

I'm not saying he will be here for ever, but I think his stint at USF and what he left behind at ECU helps our cause

I wouldn't leave Ruston for $2.5 million to go to UK or KU and be ought of a job in 3 years if I could make almost a million here and have total control

I think Skip is very smart -

Folks tend to forget, Mike White would still be here if not for Billy Donovan going to OKC at the last minute from UF

I hope this is the case. I think Skip will build and keep our program relevant if he decides to stay here for awhile. I'm fine with 9 wins season and a 10-11 wins every now and then.

2 million for the lafayette cajuns. That stings.

Looks like quite a bargain for us.

Is this just what we are paying him? Does he still draw from USF?

Actually worse, cause teams 120 through 128 did not disclose their salary yet, you know that their coaches are paid more than $500K.

So, really, he is at 113 out of 128 FBS schools.

Coach Lafayette is paid $400k MORE than the next closest SuckBelt school.

True - but you really can't compare private to public...

It does not -

I believe this year is his last year of drawing from USF - but he may have one more year

[Cool Hand Clyde]

Actually worse,

Not worse since he still gets paid from USF. No way we could have hired him at $500k otherwise.

Here is Isabella's take on it...

Do he and Skip have the same agent? No mention of the USF payments.

If Skip wins 9 or 10 games again this year, he's almost certain to receive other, better paying, job offers. After 3 straight 9-win (or better) seasons, and 3 bowl appearances (and 3 possible bowl victories) in a row, I can't help but think Skip's value is going to sky rocket in the market place. Even if he doesn't receive a P5 offer, he could go to a place like Rice and easily double his money.

My suggestion: Get Skip's new contract done quickly. It won't keep the P5's away, but it should keep the Rice's and other G5's at bay.
