Sprinkles made $950k a year… decent for Ogden but lol

Ogden would be Weber State ... Utah State is in Logan

I'm pretty sure Utah State is in Ogden

Sprinkles extension offer was $2M/year with incentives taking him well above that.

Dutcher makes $2.3M. Smith is $2M this year and rising each year.

Yeah, Smith's deal is $2.1M/yr + incentives

Are they actually serious? In what world is USU a better job than a BIGXII BYU?

Too much downstream residue in that Ogden water...

3 and 4 is laughable.... 1 and 2... I've heard those from other sources as well...

3 isn't laughable. Why wouldn't they be considered?

RGGeemer

Mar 27, 12:39pm

I mean... I'm sure USU considered Nick Saban for the Head Football coaching job too

Mar 27, 12:43pm

They would be considered in the same way that your average CBer would consider dating a model. There is no reciprocal

"get little to nothing in return" I take it you havent seen his paycheck.

That pay is significantly less than what most coaches make for less the work it takes to recruit...

Still worth it. I would take it no questions asked.

An 8/10 in “attractive school or opportunity”
