Per the article, Rutgers is getting our of the Ash Era for a cool $9.4MM ($8.5MM for Ash and $.9MM for John McNulty, OC).  My heart goes out to the NJ taxpayers, but my brain reminds me that they are the ones electing the officials who then hire the morons making these horrendous coaching decisions.

My recommendation: Hire a coach at $1MM/year and award a bonus to said coach of $100K for each victor for the first 5 victories, and $200K per victory thereafter.  If they get to a bowl game, he gets a $100K bonus.  If he makes the B1G championship game (it will never happen, but they should dangle the carrot in front of him), add a $110K bonus and another $150K if he wins (again, it will never happen.  Should he make the CFP, then he gets $500K for getting in, another $500K if he gets to the Championship game.  Finally, $1MM for winning it all.  The only guarantee is the current year salary

If he proves he can win, renegotiate the base salary after year two to dissuade him from leaving (that won't happen, either as if he can turn Rutgers around, someone will scoop him up for real money).  Regardless, no more buyouts.  Get in financial shape and then "rebuild".  This will not happen, either.  Rutgers is gonna Rutgers.
