Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 2348797, member: 229"] Texas paid Strong $5 Million a year with contract language that still owes him $9 million over the next 2 years. We're not going to pay a coach $5 million and we shouldn't. I'd extend Dino back out to 5 years, increase him to $3.3 million with $140K annual increases topping $4 million by the end of 5 years. I'd go with a front heavy buyout that decreases to zero by the end of his contract. I'd up his assistants salary pool to something like $2.7 million per year and increase it up to $3.5 million by the contracts final year. He gets more money, his staff gets more money and the longer he stays he and his staff get even more money. That would put him 4th in the ACC (he's currently about 7th) and in the top 30 range. By the end he'd be 3rd ACC; 20th Nationally. I also think assistant's salaries would be a really big deal to him so that has to be examined maybe even more so. [/QUOTE]
