This Saturday’s result will have absolutely nothing to do with where Napier coaches next year.

Well "____ing Memphis" is paying their head coach about $2.6 million while we're paying Napier around $860k. Would you turn down a 200% pay increase?

As of yesterday, he had not been contacted as per a major RCAF donor. I have no reason to doubt that person unless you got something new?

You would turn it down when your name is popping up already on SEC jobs and you may have a shot at two other SEC jobs next season with another great season and a championship. His goal is the SEC, not the AAC.

For the record, that is a little over 300%.

For the record it is a 200% increase, which is what the OP said

Oh well, you are most correct. It would be a little over 200% increase.

Yes, because it’s Memphis. I’d turn down a 200% increase in pay if it’s a lateral move that will likely end with me back as a coordinator.

Well I don't see how he'd end up back as a coordinator unless he wasn't a good coach. Memphis has a good program and is clearly investing in their coaches more than any other G5 team. If you don't think he can be successful there and then parlay that into a SEC gig then you must not have confidence in him as a coach.

I'm not saying he'll take that job over an SEC gig. But if he can make 200% more money for a year or two and then get that SEC job then I don't see why he wouldn't take it. Like you all said, it's a lateral move. However, that lateral move is paying way more.
