That's just stupid.
Didn't LSU match or beat Texas' offer to retain Mainieri?
Herman didn't choose Texas because of money. Fisher is not staying at FSU because of money. Do you seriously believe Fedora, Holgerson, Gundy etc are work 5-7 million dollars?
Also, if Jones doesn't produce in hoops, the question about a high dollar hire comes down to how much the boosters are willing to shell out, not the willingness to pay. I will also point out that a lot of coaches previously on our wish list from long ago didn't exactly pan out when they stepped up in class. (Think Anthony Grant)
