re: I keep coming back to this on BK: He is 61 years old and wants a National Title

Dude, there's no way he was making only 2.7 mil. That may have been in money paid by the school directly, but I'm sure they had some other ways to pad that and bring it more in line with what other top coaches make.

I was surprised to hear that low too. Just relaying the number i heard from somebody pretty well connected in TAF during the hiring process. Im sure others here have heard through similar sources so might can confirm. ND is on record as not wanting to pay crazy coaches salaries because it goes against their core values, etc.

It makes sense why Woodward honed in on him. and why BK took the job. I know we like to tell ourselves he came here because he had a better chance to win a NC, but the truth is ND has a much easier road to the CFP.
