Pay Jimmy Lake $1 million then. (UW is picking up the rest)The program was 25 million in the red last year with all coaches taking a pay cut. 6-7 million is going to be the starting point for a coach who is considered a hit commodity. Might as well suggest we pony up $200 million for Saban because it makes as much sense. Fiscal reality is coming home to roost.
Hire him an OC (so he can't screw that up) and tell him WSU is OK with walkon players fighting other teams on the sidelines.
If they are still afraid of him slapping players with laminated play sheets (plastic cuts?), give him play sheets made of foam.
