Message: [QUOTE="SUskibum, post: 5512429, member: 149"] Totally agree Not to mention the fact that Fran wouldn't even let Jimmy reach out for this job. He literally told him 'I'll do this one myself' and then had Jimmy negotiate the details after Fran closed it. Everyone is nuts if you think Fran would let another human control his outcome (no matter that guys track record) Also, I don't know why outside people are so quick to assume we won't poney up. JB was 'underpaid' during his time but we always had him in the top 20 & when Dino needed his extention, he got paid in the top 20-25 range. If we get Fran in the top 15-20 range, we will keep him (currently $9-$10mm/yr). I am confident that the University understands the importance of investing in athletics (they have plenty of proof points the past 10 years). [/QUOTE]
