Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 1443896, member: 338"] His contract will be extended after we beat LSU this year. I would also restructure the staff's contracts to add bonus payouts for each win. Reconciles a couple things: we pay a relatively low overall salary in P5; we pay market value for the staff we have. You can't toss loads of money at guys who don't merit it. Fine - keep paying them what they are already making, with a chance for them to earn their way to the higher pay. After a couple years, if they've proven to be successful, then you can bump up their base and remove the incentive. Not knowing the length of Shafer's initial contract really hamstrings this discussion. If Coyle is planning to stick around for a few years (~10+) then there is no rush to dick with the football program. I wouldn't want to start building a legacy by establishing my school as the one that was the early adopter of the "fire him after three years!" folly. [/QUOTE]
