Iowa Hawkeyes set the bar exceedingly low

quote:

Iowa Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz hits $500,000 bonus with eighth win of regular season

quote:

Ferentz's basic annual pay from the school this season is $4.8 million, which ranks 18th nationally


Can imagine LSU paying a bonus for "achieving" 8 wins? I believe is you set a low threshold for reward, you should expect low results.

I think Ferentz is a fine coach, and overall had a good year this year with a nice bowl win but Coach O's results since taking over needs to exceed what Ferentz is making by at least a million, and knowing Iowa, they'll go give Ferentz a $1.5 million a year raise now that he hit 10 wins for the year and finished tied for 3rd place in the Big 10 West.

Coach O deserves the same "pool" of money that is available to the average of the top 5 paid coaching staffs in the country.

How he divvies it up is his business; however, LSU should have a say in order for him to be able to attempt to attract top talent.

CEO makes 4,000,000 a year and is good for 30th.

$5m - top 15
$6.1m - Top 10
$6.725 - Top 5
$9.3 - Top 1

I think you give him $5 million, and allow the ability to maintain 2-2.5 for OC/DC and we would be ok.

I'd say O deserves whatever Kirby is getting, especially if he wins the title.

Kirby has more SEC Championship appearances, but that's coming from the East. O has an overall comparable record, same number of SEC titles, is 2-0 head to head (and decisively), and has a W vs Alabama (Kirby is 0-2).

He deserves whatever his agent is able to negotiate for him.

I think O should get a new contract at $5 mil with lots of bonus incentives like he has now. You guys that wanna pay him $7.5 mil and up plus pay Brady $1.6 mil and raises/bonuses for everyone need to remember it will be big increases in what we pay for tickets that will HELP make that money.

This

5.5 max. He’s a great coach, but also doesn’t “run” a portion of the game like many other HC. We pay a premium to get the best. And it’s working well. So we should change anything.
