This is where my opinion is probably not very popular, or at least something most of us don't want to say out loud:  I'm sure Hop will be offered at least a 3 year contract and he will be paid what a first time head coach at a P5 school should be paid.

That said, what happens if Hop's team only goes 15-16 in year one?  What happens if he goes 9-21?  I mean, God forbid that the wheels come off the bus, but right now we have no one on the roster to speak of.  We don't even have a full team to put out there if Frank is shown the door.

So let's say Hop starts out with a losing record in year one.  That would be unprecedented for most of our lifetimes.  And then say in year two he is around .500, with another losing record in the ACC.  Where will our recruiting be if that happens?

Does he even get to the third year of the contract under those circumstances?  If I'm in Wildhack's chair, I don't think so.  With football still in the baby steps stage of getting better (and with the attendance problems we have for football), I don't think the AD's office can let Mike go 3 or 4 years to start winning.  There's too much money at stake.
