I guess given that we are in fact in reality, which is less than ideal (I think all coaches get paid more than they deserve, but I digress), relativity is what is important in determining what Bo deserves I guess. 1.8mil with incentives for championships (which Bo self-reportedly all about) seems about right to me, based on the combination of his success so far and the direction the program is going.
On a side note, how absolutely refreshing is it to have a head coach who is here because he wants to be here, and because he loves Nebraska, not because he wants a high paying job? Brings a smile to my face every time I think about it, but then a frown when I think of how many coaches are only in it for the money.
