Message: [QUOTE="DeGrozz, post: 760006, member: 205"] Sorry for the confusion -- I absolutely meant that Fitzgerald is a Michael Wilbon University (Northwestern) alumnus. [Let me get this out of the way: I think the world of Pat Fitzgerald and if a big-5 program can convince him to make a career out of a coaching gig, they will be a long-term player in the BCS, no matter if they are NC State, Northwestern, or USC] Right now, he is reportedly making a little less than $2 million a year. At USC, you'd have to think he'd be in the $3.5 - $5.5 million per year range. He's 39 years old. An extra $1.5M to 3.5M per year over the long haul is RIDICULOUS money. Your grandkids will be living large of those inheritances, if that is the route you want to go. If you coach another 20 to 30 years, that's $30 to $105 million extra in the bank (pre-tax and inflation). I have no idea what he is like personally though... so who knows? [/QUOTE]
