Message: [QUOTE="Statesman1, post: 867560, member: 3507"] I call it throwing away $100k while pretending we are not cheap. If we don't want to be perceived as cheapskates, then let's not act like cheapskates and close the gap to peer institutions and pay the coaching staff. As others have noted there is likely a performance bonus earned by the staff given our modest success this year. If we want to shake the perception that we are not running a BCS program on the cheap then let's put some real chips on the table and show Shafer & staff some real money---if you think he is the guy. Otherwise let's stop pretending $100k is doing anything other than making us feel better about ourselves. When spring practice starts up Shafer will still be the lowest paid coach in the ACC-if that's the problem let's fix it. [/QUOTE]
