Pelini's salary is inexcusable, but he only has a 3 year contract.

Linehan only has a two year contract.

So after this season, Linehan has 1 year on his contract, and Pelini has 2. That's...not much.

$5.4 million buys out both of them after this year. That may sting a little more than usual this year due to the lost revenue from COVID, but for an athletic department with a $100+ million annual budget, it's something we should be able to take care of if needed.

Some relevant salaries for defensive coordinators:


Greg Schiano - $700k at Ohio St.
Dan Lanning - $750k at Georgia
Pete Golding - $1.1m at Bama

I can barely hear myself type these words from all the people laughing at them.

Oh wait. You're a clown.

Dan Lanning and Peter Golding? These guys careers couldn’t hold a candle to Pelini’s or Linehans. Y’all are being really stupid about the salary thing.

Woodward is the most overrated AD in the country. He should be the first to hit the door.

Again, Pelini has done nothing in the last decade to justify a $2.3 million a year salary.


He had offers to leave Youngstown but declined them. If that’s what he asked for and you think he’s your guy, then that’s what you pay him. And before you say it I’m not defending the hire. Speaking purely on salary.
