agreed lets give kelly a call right now and tell him he is hired at 2 mil a year.
Why do we need to give Kelly 2 million? His current salary is under 1 million. I think he definitely fits into our 1 to 1.2 million range as it would definitely be a raise from his current salary. I'm ok with giving him extra incentives for a Big 12 Championship and NC, but I don't agree that we need to offer him 2 million right off the bat. He's my #1 choice, and I think we can get him for 1 to 1.2 million.agreed lets give kelly a call right now and tell him he is hired at 2 mil a year.
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The final salary and incentives are negotiated and may not have much to do with smarts. The university has their financial and legal people to work out these things but it's tough to be stingy when you're trying to lure someone. In my business negotiation begins only after the applicant accepts. If the candidate isn't satisfied it may be easier for them to walk than it is for the company to let them get away. It could be embarrassing for the university to loose a candidate during negotiations and could affect the interest of other candidates.
sorry dude the 2 mil part was definitely a joke, but i will say that if mich. happens to offer him 1.4 mil i would definitely offer him 1.5. he is worth it IMOWhy do we need to give Kelly 2 million?

Do college coaches, or most anyway, really have managers? I would think that a coach who is responsible for the running of a football team would be more than capable of handling their own contract. I can understand them having an attorney look over the contract to make sure there isn't anything in there that will cause problems down the road, but why do they need a manager? Why would they want to give anyone 5 or 10 percent or whatever it is to do something they're more than capable of handling themselves?
I would imagine that with the unstable nature of coaching these guys keep their agent on retainer, not on a full salary. You never know when you're going to need him, so it's best to keep him handy if the need arises.
