I have no problem with this and neither did Coach Des when he signed his contract. He had no experience as a Coordinator in college football. He can make more money with the incentives in his contract for Bowl Games, Division and Conference Championships. He has to earn a pay raise.

Agree.

Just my snarky comment for the day, carry on...

HC salary is only part of the picture. Wonder what our entire staff gets paid, and how that compares to the rest of the conference?

He took less money originally so that his staff could be paid slightly more. What those numbers are, I have no clue.

Wasn’t it over 2 million when Napier was here? Did it stay? Increase or decrease?

I don't see an issue. Des hasn't won anything yet. Let's at least get a winning season.

I have said since CMD was made the HFC that Louisiana hired the most coach we could afford at the time and that particular hire brought with it many, many, many intangibles which we could not have possibly have received or acquired with any other hire at the price we could afford (and maintaining a total coaching package payroll as we had/have in place) with similar or even slightly more experience, but a coach which would most certainly come here ONLY as a stepping stone in his career . . .
