They’re paying him $2.17M to be an OC?! How much they gonna pay their new DC? $3M?
Probably the same. I am a Texas fan and alum and am not in favor of this stuff to prop up and inept Head Coach.
However it is interesting the savings WSU gets by having Leach also serve as OC.
I thought they hired Herman because he was an offensive genius at Houston and at Ohio State......well we don't have to worry about USC running the air raid anymore........
This seems a little over the top from a Texas perspective. If Herman does poorly enough to get canned (which could even be something like 8-4 and getting pasted by Okie, and pretty much anything worse than that), you then have an OC you've guaranteed a lot of money to for two subsequent years, either hamstringing any coach you'd want to hire in that scenario or, more likely, requiring Texas to buy out two more years of Graham.
That said, I could see Harrell demanding something like this due to being a HC candidate at some G of 5s and due to this very issue with Herman's potential lame-duck status. I find it hard to believe he wouldn't take something like $1.7m and the 3-year guarantee, though. The G of 5s he's been rumored to be a candidate at could barely pay their head coaches 7 figs.
UNLV wants him as their HC.They’re paying him $2.17M to be an OC?! How much they gonna pay their new DC? $3M?
Why they hired the last HC....I don't know. They seem to be willing to spend more than the current $600,000 to get a good candidate. Maybe they offered him 1-1.2 million and then Texas comes back with 1.7 just as a coordinator. Depends on what direction he wants to go. 12 months ago he was making what..I think $300,000 at North Texas.For 1/6 the price
On that note, can you believe we paid Paul Wulff $600k to set the program back a half a decade? I know it's several years ago now, but legit schools were paying coaches 3, or 5, or 10 times more. Unreal. Sterk.Why they hired the last HC....I don't know. They seem to be willing to spend more than the current $600,000 to get a good candidate.

UT is run by fools, they have 250 million dollars, why not just hire Leach and get the real thing instead of his understudy ? (I don't want to see leach leave wsu)……..if they are going to hire GH for 2 million/yr just pay a real HC 5.Probably the same.

UNLV hiring Arroyo would be music to the ears of most Duck fans, who blame him incessantly for "holding back Justin Herbert" and for unimaginative play calling in general. They worry that his friendship with Mario will protect him from losing his OC job...and they are probably right. So a convenient way to replace him without canning him is with a head coaching job. Duck fans' fingers are crossed.I live down here in Vegas and it sounds like the AD like Arroyo from Oregon and the DC from Utah as well. . Sarkisian was being mentioned as well, but I don't know if Vegas can afford him.
Like there is any chance in this world that Leach would work for the state of Texas againUT is run by fools, they have 250 million dollars, why not just hire Leach and get the real thing instead of his understudy ?

Im coming to the conclusion that a lot of ADs don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Like Jennifer Cohen. or the ninkempoop at FSU that hired willie taggart and now they cant hire a coach because they owe willie 18 million dollars...…...WTF ? Don't they follow college football ?
She’s a she and that’s enough for Roy. All else is “irrelevant”.I’m not sure I’m reading your post right, but If you’re saying Jen Cohen has been bad...I can’t agree . She’s done nothing but make great hires.
are you a she ? I cant see any reason why you would be so offended I used the term "lady" , I had no idea who their AD was , male or female when this discussion began-I was astounded at the poor hiring process however.She’s a she and that’s enough for Roy. All else is “irrelevant”.
no I think she made a very bad decision in replacing CP with Jimmy Lake with no coaching search or interviewing process. I don't care if her name is chuck or ralph, I think it was a major blunder and time will prove that out in spades.
Im not going to address gender identity politics, political correctness or any such nonsense as its irrelevant.

Sarkisian in Vegas is not a good idea....I live down here in Vegas and it sounds like the AD like Arroyo from Oregon and the DC from Utah as well. . Sarkisian was being mentioned as well, but I don't know if Vegas can afford him.
It would be tough to get Leach to work for a Texas public University again.UT is run by fools, they have 250 million dollars, why not just hire Leach and get the real thing instead of his understudy ?

It remains to be seen if Jimmy Lake will be a good hire, but her decision to hire him is the right one. He was 'heir apparent' by Peterson. Husky fans think he walks on water. To not hire him and keep 'the momentum' would have been highly criticized.are you a she ?

Very odd. Is this AD beyond criticism because it is a female ? my reaction initially and comments were made without knowledge of the AD's gender or even name.

She did the right thing under the circumstances. Is he going to succeed? don't know, but it was the right call.
24th ranked Defense is an accomplishment. Especially having lost so many guys to the NFL. With a 24th ranked defense we probably are 10-2.You don't hire a HC by conducting a poll of the fans, Lake has only been a DC for 3 years and has no HC experience. It was a poor decision and given a program as good as Washington, very odd not to have a real coaching search. It will come back to bite them.
What momentum do you speak of ? They were 7-5 and their defense was ranked a mediocre #24 in the country.
Momentum on what Peterson was doing. Lake was Heir apparent and Huskyville would have rioted if he wasn’t hired. ..including some of the recruits. They , in essence, Did do a coaching search: a few years ago when Peterson chose him as DC and assoc head coach.You don't hire a HC by conducting a poll of the fans, Lake has only been a DC for 3 years and has no HC experience.

At the same time Sterk gave Doba a $1.8 million goodbye kiss in exchange for going quietly. (And several of Doba's lazy ass assistants still had one year left on their deals)On that note, can you believe we paid Paul Wulff $600k to set the program back a half a decade?
