Charlie Strong Salary Increase

Strong was making around $2.3M per year at Louisville after last extension. Why did Texass pay him $5M per year? Why not give him a $1M raise to come to "The Brand".
Just how big a pork chop does Texass have to tie around its neck to get 6th or 7th choice coach to say "okay, I guess I will do it". Is this really what it takes to get a guy to move from a school in a basketball conference to one of the "top" jobs in all of college football?

The only explanation I could think of is that Jurich had vowed to match any number another school offered. So Texas threw that out to call his bluff. In the end, according to Louisville media, Strong didn't give them the option to match this offer. He said he was out. I have no reason to believe that Jurich wouldn't have matched it if given the option.

Alot of you posters act like this is USC bringing in Kiffin, at least Strong has something to hang his hat on instead of just being given jobs...

Texas has to pay big money to get a decent hire because of how difficult and unstable the job is. Hell, you already have 100 million dollar boosters running their mouth on ESPN about how they disagree with the hire. Also its a pride thing for UT. THey can't have Baylor and aTm's coach making more money than their own.
