Zero to 5%.
Forgot about WKU, but really USF is not really a what I consider a move up. AQ schools with huge budgets it ain't.
One former Sunbelt coach is playing for a National Championship, one is rebuilding a once proud program in Ole Miss, one just got hired at the best non AQ program in the past decade and Taggard at an AQ school after one year. Cristobal also turned down the Rutgers job while at FIU...turned out to be a terrible mistake.
Granted they are mostly from one school but these guys are having success and larger schools are paying attention. I would imagine Hud, Miles, and possibly Franchoine be gone within the next couple of years.
They must be tired of 1 and done coaches...
@coachingsearch: Blake Anderson's buyout: $3 million, $3 million, $2 million, $2 million, $1 million. (WOW) $700,000 salary.
I doubt that buy out could withstand a court battle. The contract is overkill. ASU would have to show his early departure would harm them in some way. Their recent history says otherwise.
A lot of that was by design. I'm pretty sure all of those guys were told to go get a head coaching gig and the would be serious contenders for the job at their respective schools when a spot came available. I can almost guarantee that's what happened with malzahn, and likely freeze too. Do we really think Harsins performance this year wowed Boise into saying "that's our guy"? These guys all used stAte as a stepping stone. And state has benefited from this as well.
