If we are going to talk about money, there is some good starting info on Hopkins

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-basketball/report-uw-huskies-mike-hopkins-in-agreement-on-six-year-contract-extension/[/URL]

He will make $2.5-$3 million/year, and there is a $3 million buyout if he leaves before March 2023

Not sure how accurate this article is below, but if we consider this a top 5-20 job, a salary in between $3-4 million should do the trick.

Besides the top 5 coaches ($5-10 million), there seems to be a fair amount of parity.  Lots of guys in the $2-4 million range.

If money was the only factor, I imagine Hopkins would be fine making ~$3 million with the lower cost of living in Syracuse vs. Seattle.   And if Syracuse doesn't want to pay that amount, we will almost certainly be stuck with Red or GMAC.
