I honestly have no clue about the respective coaches salaries, and am curious where you guys source such information.  I would sincerely appreciate being clued in.

I'm wondering however how much discretion you think Shafer is given in making the decisions about filling his staff.  If it's a matter of him being given a budget and carte-blanche as far as the decision or if he has the discretion to justify higher comp in exchange for a big name.  At the surface it would appear that he's operating under constraints imposed by the athletic department at least where the numbers are concerned.  I bring this up because Shafer strikes me as shrewd enough to have made the decisions to bring in the staff he has not only based on the motivational incentive that guys coming up from the lower levels bring but also factor in the political dynamic  involved.  It seems to me the staffing decisions are being made with the preference, at least from Shafer's perspective, for first producing results to justify any potential increases in pay rather than the other way around. Anyone with me on this?
