Sure, but if he’s at $250k, then $400k or $500k max would seal the deal

POLL: Should BYU offer $1 million to Burgess to come be an associate head coach to Kevin Young. Yay or nay?

Precedent—we currently pay Jay Hill $1M for a similar role in FB

Football is more important than basketball . . . I don’t think the precedent stands

Seems like a massive overpay.

Sends a message that we are serious

I don't care. Make it $2 million

Not my money, so sure! I don’t think they’d need to offer a full million though

Why would they need to offer that much? He only makes 255K at Utah. Offer him 400-500K

No. Don’t quadruple his salary, offer a nice bump but no reason to overspend

He might not leave Utah unless it's a significant bump in pay & responsibility.

Will he even have a job after this season if he stays? Utah is likely to be bad.

YES! A 3M per year HC job at Utah

Utah's going to promote internally after firing Smith for poor performance?

tacallaway

Offer him 256k.

With a massive bonus package to get to $258K

Burgess won't come. He wanted to be head coach.

Plantagenet

Then he should have stayed

Apr 16, 9:14pm

This. You think Burgess is coming to be an asst when he got passed over for HC?!

It’s easy for people to toss around huge obscene numbers with other people’s $

Why not? Ryan Smith seems to have his wallet wide open at present.

If we can save half of the money and use it for NIL that would be better.

ballen

Apr 16, 9:04pm

Spend it on NIL?

Eh, let KY hire his own staff. He probably has some trusted names in mind.

ninja math

Apr 16, 9:04pm

I'm totally on board with that. Just would be great to have at least one

BlooCoug

Apr 16, 9:14pm

They gave him a list of names and I am sure he will have his own too

Dr T-bone

$500k with an $11M option if we win the national championship

Why offer him a mil when you can get him for 500 K

Blue2thebone

Apr 16, 10:03pm

Do not pay him $1M. That's absurd.

Kenny Payne, one of Calipari’s top assistants at Kentucky made $800k—in 2017. I
