Coyle said to me he never offered Frost but that doesn't mean he didn't want him.  It is my understanding that Coyle did not recruit Babers as he didn't think that SU wouldn't pony up the $2.4 million base pay that he required.  It is also my understanding that Herm Frazier broke down the doors - both internally at SU and  externally through his contacts - to get Babers to consider coming here where Coyle did not even try to recruit him.

That's partly why (my speculation only) that Herm was given a promotion knowing that Syverud wanted Wildhack since the beginning even before Coyle.  Herm is going to run operations (Herm's strength) why Wildhack works the big picture in terms of media, deals, relations (Wildhack's strengths).

I told them it's simple math - as Babers brings the fan base back, all of the extra $$$ needs to be plowed back into football (salaries & such) and not spent on Olympic sports.  All I got out of Wildhack and Syverud was a smile and I think they are preparing to not let Babers leave without a fight.
